Plate heat exchangers are usually composed of an outlet chamber, an inlet chamber, and a combination of main plates and radiator chips. Recently, there have been many users inquiring about plate heat exchangers, and everyone coincidentally mentioned a question: why do we sometimes feel like we can't add water? Let's take a look together below.
Plate heat exchangers have a simple structure and are economically efficient, and their performance is constantly improving with the development of the times.
Sometimes it's not that you can't add water, but rather that you don't feel like you've added much water. However, the radiator already shows that it's filled with water, but after a short period of use, it shows a lack of water again, which is commonly referred to as "virtual quantity".
The above two situations are mostly caused by the thermostat. Under normal circumstances, when adding water, the small holes on the thermostat valve need to be vented. However, if these two small holes are blocked, gas cannot be discharged properly, resulting in the display of full water when the water jacket is not fully filled with cold water. In fact, there is still a lack of water. When encountering such a problem, everyone needs to remove the thermostat of the plate cooler and clear the blocked small hole. If the thermostat fails, it needs to be replaced as a whole.
