SPARE PARTS
Comprehensive Solutions for Heat Exchanger Optimization
SPX FLOW offers a complete set of genuine spare parts for SPX FLOW heat exchangers. The commodification of genuine spare parts is highly variable and customizable to fit the needs of custom-designed equipment. SPX FLOW process engineers recommend a spare parts procurement plan to customers. Depending on the operating dependence of the heat exchanger, holding a set of vital spare parts on-site could be necessary to mitigating unexpected production line downtime.
The use of SPX FLOW genuine spare parts is critical to the optimization, longevity and integrity of purchased equipment. SPX FLOW genuine heat exchanger spare parts are precisely measured and fabricated for purchased equipment. Non-genuine spare parts that are off in measurement or material properties even minutely could cause lasting damage to an otherwise optimal heat exchanger.
Examples of spare parts required include gaskets (single or multi-piece, made from materials like NBR, EPDM, or FKM), heat transfer plates (standard, DuoSafety, or semi-welded pairs), tie bars and nuts for clamping, port rings, connector bosses, frame components (head, follower, top and bottom bars, and end support), and accessories such as in-line filters, safety screens, tightening tools, insulation jackets and drip trays.
Key Benefits
- Minimized downtime with readily available critical components
- Guaranteed compatibility and extended equipment life

Leakage Detection with GAPPSCAN Technology
Leakage detection is a critical tool for predictive maintenance, enabling precise and efficient audits. At SPX FLOW, we leverage the advanced Gappscan leakage detection systems, known for their accuracy and reliability.
The GAPPSCAN Advantage
Gappscan technology enhances leakage detection by delivering exceptional precision without the need to dismantle heat exchangers. This innovative approach minimizes downtime and ensures operational continuity.
Key Benefits
- Non-Invasive Testing: Conduct leakage detection without disassembling equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
- Fast Test Process: On-site inspections are quick, minimizing downtime.
- Eco-Friendly: No chemicals, gases, or additional media are used, making the process environmentally friendly.
- Exceptional Sensitivity: Sensitivity below 5 microns, with a pass/fail threshold equivalent to a single 20-micron hole. Intermediate results monitoring is also recommended.
- Rapid Results: On-the-spot assessment identifies necessary actions immediately.
- Test Certification: Includes GPS equipment traceability and a display of liquid contamination volume for clear reporting.
- ISO 9000 Compliance: Fully compatible with your internal records, ensuring a seamless documentation process.
- Hazardous Media Applications: Ideal for environments using ammonia, glycol, or other hazardous substances. Tests can be performed by draining just one circuit of the heat exchanger.
Specialized for Double-Wall Plate Heat Exchangers
Gappscan technology is also perfectly suited for leakage detection in double-wall (duosafety) plate heat exchangers, offering an additional layer of safety and performance assurance.
Key Benefits
- Inspection by certified SPX FLOW heat exchanger experts ensures correct calibration and inspection procedures.
- Minimal production losses due to the non-invasive and efficient testing process.
Choose SPX FLOW and Gappscan for precise, efficient, and hassle-free leakage detection. Ensure the integrity of your systems while maintaining operational efficiency. To set up a test for your plate heat exchanger, simply contact your nearest SPX FLOW location.
