What it is
The 16 Plate Exchanger is a plate-type heat exchanger manufactured by Alpha, supplied under part number 1.032492. It is used in the Alpha Solarsmart 100 Drain Back Unit, where it transfers heat between the primary and secondary circuits. The plate stack provides the surface area across which the two circuits exchange heat without mixing.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Domestic hot water runs cool or fails to reach temperature despite the boiler firing
- Hot water temperature fluctuates or drops away during draw-off
- Reduced flow rate through the unit, pointing to a scaled or blocked plate stack
- Water weeping from the plate pack or around the connections
- The unit runs hot on the primary side but transfers little heat to the secondary side
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance is an Alpha Solarsmart 100 Drain Back Unit
- Check the existing exchanger plate count matches 16 before ordering
- Rule out other causes of poor hot water performance, such as a scaled secondary circuit or a faulty sensor, before replacing the exchanger
- Have the appliance model and serial details to hand when checking the manufacturer's parts list
