Hi, I'm involved in a work with heat exchanger maintenance. I need help in cost estimate?

Question

want to know downtime cost estimate, mean time to repair, logistics support, and any other information relating to heat exchanger maintenance

Answer 1

The best bet when giving a cost opinion is to ask someone who's actually done it in the past.  I did a cost opinion today on a $2.5 million project and found that I had better numbers from someone who has done it in the past.

Answer 2

Ask various manufacturers of heat exchangers.  The size and type of the heat exchanger depends as well.  An air-to-air closed loop heat exchanger for a control panel will need different maintenance than a huge shell and tube liquid-liquid heat exchanger, for example.

It is best to ask various manufacturers of a suitable heat exchanger for your application for the maintenance procedures and frequencies.  Any manufacturer that wants your business will be more than happy to give you a ballpark figure.  You may find that the more expensive manufacturer produces a less maintenance-intensive product.
