Alfa Laval Cooling Systems Services
Marine Project provides expert service for Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers and marine separators across Montenegro and the Adriatic, directly resolving compromised heat exchanger efficiency, temperature alarms, and separator performance drops at your berth or yard. Our highly experienced technicians perform complete dockside maintenance including chemical decalcification and descaling, plate pack disassembly, inspection, and re-gasketing with genuine Alfa Laval gaskets, frame tightening torque verification, and high-pressure testing to factory specifications, all executed on board without removing large heat exchanger assemblies or interrupting connected engine circuits.
We carry Alfa Laval-specific gasket kits, plates, and separator bowl components, enabling most interventions to be completed within a single site visit while avoiding workshop transport, crane lifts, and extended engine downtime. This mobile approach restores optimal heat transfer and fuel/oil separation efficiency, while our post-service thermal and pressure tests validate operating temperatures, flow rates, and leak integrity under full load. Each service includes a detailed plate condition log, tightening torque chart, and a preventive maintenance schedule for chemical cleaning intervals and gasket life assessment. Schedule a heat exchanger and separator audit and our team will provide an on-site technician and fixed-price repair quote within 48 hours of onboard inspection.
Specialized Service Capabilities:
We deliver complete care for Alfa Laval heat exchangers across Montenegro’s marinas, from scheduled preventative maintenance and plate cleaning to gasket replacement, with service costs up to 30% lower than at other major refit centres . Our specialised experts service the full range of Alfa Laval units, focusing on restoring maximum thermal transfer and system efficiency for your main engines and generators, using manufacturer-approved procedures and genuine parts .
-
Plate Pack Disassembly & Inspection: Careful dismantling of the plate heat exchanger frame, followed by visual inspection and dye-penetrant testing under ultraviolet light to detect micro-cracks and pinholes—a critical step rarely performed in the field but essential for identifying plate deformities that could cause production losses and safety risks if missed .
-
Chemical Decalcification & Cleaning: Professional chemical descaling in heated, agitated tanks to remove marine growth, mineral deposits, and bio-fouling, followed by thorough rinsing; this process is superior to field methods like water blasting or hand scrubbing, which can damage plates and reduce efficiency .
-
Gasket Replacement & Sealing: Precise replacement of all worn gaskets and seals with genuine Alfa Laval components (NBR or EPDM) using a specialised two-part epoxy adhesive; gaskets are bonded in a curing skid and baked in an oven for 3–5 hours under compression—a method far superior to rubber-based contact cement used for field regasketing, which can lead to gaskets falling off when the unit is opened .
-
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing: Rigorous hydrostatic testing after reassembly to confirm leak-free operation and verify correct plate pack tightening dimensions; Alfa Laval recommends changing cover gaskets every time the unit is opened and keeping genuine spare parts in stock to ensure readiness for maintenance .
-
Marine Separator Servicing: Comprehensive overhaul of Alfa Laval centrifugal fuel and lube oil purifiers, including bowl disassembly, inspection, bearing replacement, and rotor balancing to eliminate vibrations and restore performance; Alfa Laval recommends at least basic maintenance every 8,000 operating hours or 12 months (whichever comes first) to ensure clean fuel delivery and engine protection .
Rely on our experienced team for certified Alfa Laval service in Montenegro. By using only genuine Alfa Laval parts and adhering to precise manufacturer protocols, we guarantee optimal cooling performance, extended equipment lifespan, and reliable operation for your yacht’s vital machinery—contact us today for a comprehensive heat exchanger inspection and maintenance plan.
