Cleaning of compressor cooler scale

2016-04-02View Original

Thread Content

The compressor water cooler has been in use for over two years, and its cooling efficiency has declined. Scale has formed on the small tubes inside the cooler. How do I clean it?

It’s quite difficult, so it’s best not to choose this type from the start when selecting a model; instead, opt for an evaporative condenser, which will solve all the problems

Do you mean that an evaporative condenser is similar to something like a cooling tower? I’m referring to the type used to cool the gas during the first and second stages of compression in compressors

Find a professional company to clean the condenser; acid cleaning is an option, or you can use screwdrivers and pipe brushes to handle it yourself

There are many ways to clean in our daily lives; for example, physical removal methods can be used, involving rolling with common cleaning tools until the dirt is completely removed, and then rinsing with clean water. There is another method: since there is often a lot of scale inside the cooler, one can first pour water diluted with salt and acid into it. Remember to dilute it first, otherwise it will corrode the metal. Pour the diluted liquid into the cooler, then add cleaning agent; use clean water for back-and-forth washing, allowing the process to run for about 2 hours. If cleaning is done in winter, the water temperature can be increased, which improves the cleaning effect and speeds up the process. After that, the diluted salt and acid solution should be drained, and the item can be cleaned with plain water before it can be used again.

Add it directly to the water tank to circulate?

Physical cleaning and chemical cleaning – nowadays, chemical cleaning is more commonly used. To prevent corrosion, it is best to have a professional cleaning company carry out the task

For ordinary water scale, it’s better to use physical methods for cleaning! ! High pressure – a burst of 1500 kilograms of high-pressure water delivers excellent cleaning results! !

It should be similar to the water cooler of air compressors; one can refer to the maintenance procedures for air compressors: for water coolers, water scale removers are used, and multiple cleaning and soaking sessions are necessary to remove the scale. :)
