Discussion on Heat Exchanger Scaling Treatment Technologies
Thread Content
After being in use for a period of time, heat exchangers will develop scale. Scale not only affects heat transfer but also reduces flow rate; it can also cause corrosion to the equipment. Let’s discuss how to remove scale from heat exchangers, taking into account different types of heat exchangers and the conditions of the fluids involved
I heard that some use ultrasound and it works well!
High-pressure flushing is effective for the tube side, but it doesn’t yield good results for the shell side. Only pickling can be performed.
It is said that ultrasonic cleaning works well
I heard it’s not expensive! Moreover, the results are good; it is possible to hire a professional company to handle it
How can you determine that a device needs to be cleaned due to scaling? Can it only be taken apart to check every time it’s overhauled?
It is generally determined based on the cooling effect, in comparison with previous situations.
High-pressure flushing, sometimes steam is also used~~~~
