Condenser cleaning solution

Can anyone provide a solution for cleaning the condenser? I have never done it, so I hope it can be a reference.

According to the manufacturing materials used in condensers, there are many commonly used titanium plates, stainless steel plates, etc. The welding methods include pure copper brazing, nickel welding, stainless steel welding, etc. The cleaning methods also vary depending on the materials. Do not use hydrochloric acid or water containing excessive chloride to clean stainless steel plates. Do not use phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid to clean plates made of titanium. To clean plate condensers, you need to understand the materials and water components used in the condensers. Do not clean blindly to avoid corrosion. For scales containing calcium sulfate and silicate, use a cleaning agent containing citric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, etc. For scales containing calcium carbonate, use 10% nitric acid + 90% water to clean the condenser. Because of the small gap between the plates, if the water inlet is not equipped with a filter, it will easily become clogged and cause flushing. It is best to rinse in the opposite direction when washing. Because I have only used a lot of condensers in the past two years (in the past, the price of imported plate condensers was too high) and I don’t have much experience in cleaning. Please choose the cleaning agent carefully. Last year, I installed two condensers due to corrosion and leakage due to water quality problems.

What kind of condenser can you tell me clearly?

Use grams of dirt to clean the pipes of the central air conditioner. The method is to first pour the grams of dirt into the cooling water tower and let it run for 12 hours, and then change the water three times. Wash the evaporator and condenser with dust cleaner, first wet the evaporator and condenser with clean water, and then use * * Spray the dust on the evaporator and condenser, wait for it to react chemically for 3 to 7 minutes, and then rinse it with clean water. The most important thing is to wear rubber gloves during use and be careful not to get it on your body.

The 2nd floor said very clearly that the problem should be solved according to the specific situation!

The cleaning method of the condenser is related to its structure and medium composition. The author failed to express himself clearly.

There are also companies that specialize in cleaning people’s homes. You can also look for them.

Clean inside the tube or outside the tube, and what kind of dirt is it? If there is scale inside the tube, generally use high-pressure water to flush it. If the shell side structure does not allow it, it can only be cleaned chemically. The type of chemical cleaning agent must be selected according to the material of the heat exchanger and the type of dirt.

Additional explanation: It is a tube condenser. Water flows through the tubes. The tubes are cleaned. The materials are all 304 stainless steel. The solvents are toluene, ethanol, THF, etc. It’s very clear on the second floor

To clean and remove impurities on the water side of the condenser, you can use heating, cooling, and then flushing with high-pressure water to remove algae attachments. At the same time, the other side can also be blown away with water or gas after being heated and cooled to achieve cleaning purposes.

Yes, there are companies that specialize in cleaning condensers. You can hire them. The price is not expensive and the quality and quantity are guaranteed!

A solution to this problem has been found using citric acid reverse cycle flushing.

It is also possible to clean with hydrochloric acid, but a corrosion inhibitor must be added to prevent excessive corrosion.
