Operating-history review
Used Heat Exchanger Buyers
Use this page for previously operated exchangers whose service history and current condition are central to the evaluation.
Describe the last service
Record the process fluid, operating period, reason the exchanger left service, last operating date, known fouling or contamination, and any cleaning completed.
- Current photographs of all sides and ends
- Leak, pressure, or eddy-current test records
- Repair, retube, gasket, or plugging history
- Storage and preservation after shutdown
Separate observable condition from assumptions
Identify corrosion, fouling, deformation, leakage, tube plugging, gasket condition, missing components, and handling damage. Do not label a unit serviceable without supporting evidence.
Condition and next-step review
The record may support equipment, repair, component, or material evaluation. Any outcome depends on the documented unit and separate written terms.

What if operating records are incomplete?
Identify what is unavailable and provide the strongest current evidence: photographs, markings, measurements, condition notes, and seller authority.
