Heat exchanger tube cleaning As a vital part of the cooling system cleanliness of the heat exchanger tubes contribute to a great extend to the overall efficiency of the cooling system. Water in an open cooling system can cause problems do to mineral deposits (concentration via evaporation), algae growth (availability of oxygen) and sedimentation of dust and debri ending up in the water stream via the cooling tower. Even the most stringent water management system cannot prevent from this affecting the cleanliness of the tubes and hence reducing the performance. Continue Reading
Heat Exchanger Maintenance Heat exchanger maintenance is something that every production facility operators should worry about. The equipment in a sub-optimal state increases costs and increases wear-and-tear over time eventually shortening the life span. Read how to remedy this issue… Continue Reading
Cleaning of Heat Exchangers Heat exchangers are critical components of your system and are in regular need of cleaning. The constant need for process cooling is provided by the water circulating over heat exchanger tubes and cooling tower. Because the heat exchanger performance is paramount to keep your system running at required capacity it is crucial to keep the tubes in optimal shape at all times. Eqobrush helps in achieving this. Continue Reading
It is common knowledge that there is a regular and revolving need for heat exchanger cleaning. This is because of the fouling that occurs in the system. The tubes get clogged up over time and this impacts the performance substantially. Continue Reading
The fouling factor in heat exchangers stands for the resistance to heat flow through the walls of the tubes in the heat exchanger, reducing the efficiency of the whole unit. The fouling itself is caused by slime, mineral deposits and foreign matter sticking on the walls of the heat exchangers, and solidifying into a solid surface that impacts the water flow and heat exchange and distribution. We introduce regular, high frequency cleaning with Eqobrush to avoid any fouling buildup. Otherwise, cost increases and performance loss is to be expected. Continue Reading
