hey guys.
So I bought a 41 plate sabco plate and frame heat exchanger.
I did an ipa first batch and backflushing didnt get all the hops out.
I opened it and cleaned it, and noticed the plates were numbered. Great. Then I noticed that the numbers were in no logical order.
I saw plate 29-32 then 6 through 11, so on and so on.
I did make sure kept the plates in proper order, put them back in the same way (whatever numbering order) and reassembled.
When I did this, I am now having leaks. I've clamped down the crap out of all the bolts on it to try and make sure, but no luck.
I took it apart again and reassembled again and same thing.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any documentation on reassembly of a plate and frame?
I called sabco, but they seemed confused and lost and have no documentation although it clearly states that the unit it meant to be disassembled for cleaning.
/facepalm.
thanks
