Heat Exchanger: Cleaning guidelines for heat exchangers

 

Heat exchangers are used during processing to optimize heat flow from one gas or liquid to another. Its failure can be extremely costly to the company, resulting in shutdowns. Cleaning and maintaining heat exchangers are also vital for upholding systems running smoothly. We are leading Heat Exchanger Suppliers in India.

Fouling has a direct effect on heat flow through the heat exchanger surface, and hence on the process's overall operating efficiency and economics. Heat transfer systems will accumulate mineral scales or oily contamination during assembly and operation which greatly reduce the heat transfer performance of heat exchangers. Regular servicing keeps them in good working order and tends to avoid emergency repairs.

This blog post includes a variety of cleaning tips, saving you money & optimizing its performance.

·        -> Maintain a Timetable

Over time, certain processes allow heat exchangers to scale or foul. Corrosion, pollen, soil, etc all contribute to fouling which reduces its efficiency. It is important to maintain a cleaning regimen for them. Cleaning & maintenance routines can be combined to ensure the machinery follows regulatory requirements and is completely operational.

·        ->High-Pressure Jetting

This is the most efficient way to clean the heat exchanger because of its effectiveness in removing particles & deposits from the device. When washing them, make sure all sediment is cleaned so the bare metal is seen. This would increase the lifetime. Also, polishing the insides of the pipework can help eliminate blemishes and thereby increase liquid throughput.

·        ->External Tube Cleaning

External tube cleaning is usually more difficult, due to problems accessing the area needed for cleaning, but it is usually easier from a fouling side. Cleaning its exterior surface facilitates optical checks
