HEAT EXCHANGERS

NOTE: The items listed below must be supplemented with any specific instructions for commissioning and start-up, that may have been supplied by the equipment manufacturer.

SHELL & TUBEYes No NA

1- Check for physical damage that may have been caused during shipment or installation at the construction site.

2- Check that the nameplate has been installed and ASME stamped for OOK exchangers. Confirm that the Manufacturer's Test Certificate is available, the information on the nameplate is legible and agrees with the certificate. Check the data for correctness and proper reference to process fluids and operating conditions.

3- Check that the exchanger and the nozzles' orientation agrees with the construction drawings, and that the exchanger centerline is level and at the correct elevation.

4- Check that the supports are grouted and foundation bolts properly tightened.

5- For exchangers that incorporate one, or more, sliding supports, ensure that they have been installed as detailed on the construction drawings, lubricated, and are free to move as the exchanger is subjected to its various operating conditions.

Yes No NA

6- For exchangers with internal linings, ensure that they have been installed and tested per the construction drawings and specifications.

7- Check that any field modifications or repairs, to internally lined or clad exchangers, have been properly completed and inspected.

8- Check that all support brackets and clips for piping, ladders, platforms, etc., have been properly installed, especially for stress relieved exchanger.

9- Confirm that lifting lugs and special davits or brackets used to pull tube bundles are installed and properly located.

10- Where required, check anodic protection installation for adequacy, if accessible.

11- Confirm that exchanger grounding connections have been properly installed.

12- Review heat-up and cool-down sequence to ensure that the various combinations of conditions (such as hot fluid or pressure on only one side) will not cause structural damage or differential thermal growth interference of floating head or U-tubes with shell cover.

13- Check suitability of flanges, facings, gaskets, etc. for service conditions.

Yes No NA

14- Confirm that all connecting piping and valves have been connected to the exchanger, including isolation, control, instrumentation, and relief. Also, confirm that all instruments (local and those with transmitters) are properly installed.

15- Prior to final close-out, confirm that exchanger is free of all loose debris or standing water, and meets the construction requirements for internal cleanliness and dryness.

16- Confirm that the final external paint coating has been applied, where applicable.

17- Confirm that the insulation has been applied, where applicable.

18- Confirm that the color coding agrees with Company standards, and the exchanger identification numbers are clearly visible and correct.

19- After heat-up, check that sliding end has moved and investigate implications if movement has not occurred.

20- Check that restraining bars for shell expansion joints have been removed and visually examine expansion joints for any damage.

FIN-FAN (AIR-COOLED)

Follow the checklist items for SHELL & TUBE exchangers above, plus the following:

Yes No NA

1- Check that clips installed for shipment have been removed.

2- Check that the bundle is not welded down and is free to expand.

3- Check that there is provision for bundle movement in the direction of header expansion, when several exchangers are joined by a common header.

4- Check that the louvers operate freely, and that proper settings are attainable.

5- Review long-term mechanical suitability of linkage and louver bushings.

6- Confirm that access ladders are properly fitted and securely fastened to the support clips provided. Check provisions for differential expansion between ladders and equipment.

NOTE: This non-mandatory form may be used as the starting point to assemble a pre-commissioning checklist. Entries should be revised, added and deleted and approvals adjusted to reflect the needs of the Project Acceptance Committee.APPROVALSSAPMTINSPECTIONOTHER DEPT.OPERATIONS
