Flushing - Pre-Washing
Flushing (pre-flushing) of newly installed heating and cooling systems before commissioning is vital for system performance and lifetime. Foreign materials, welding wastes, oil layers, slag, and concrete residues that enter the system during manufacturing and assembly can cause blockage and corrosion in the system. This can lead to expensive maintenance costs and even failures that require a complete replacement of the system.
What is Flushing and Why is it Necessary?
Flushing literally means "washing with plenty of water." In the mechanical installation sector, flushing means cleaning newly installed heating and cooling systems before commissioning. Flushing removes construction debris, metal wastes, and welding residues accumulated in the system, and also removes corrosion that may occur during the waiting process.
The main purpose of flushing:
- Prevention of Blockages: Foreign matter can clog pipes in the system and impede flow.
- Corrosion Removal: Corrosion formed during the waiting period is removed, and system components are protected.
- Extending the Life of the System: Cleaning prevents malfunctions and ensures that the system operates efficiently for many years.
Importance of Mechanical Installation Chemical Washing
Flushing should be done using appropriate chemicals, not just water. However, the quality of the chemicals used and the compliance of the application process with the standards are critical. Chemicals and applications that do not comply with the specifications can lead to corrosion, decay, and punctures in the system. Especially in high-pressure industrial systems, such errors can cause serious accidents and life risks.
As Kuvars Chemistry, we offer professional flushing services without causing any damage to your systems by using chemicals with inhibitors in accordance with international standards.
How is Flushing Pre-Flushing Done?
The chemical flushing process is planned according to customer demand and the condition of the installation. The general steps of the flushing process are explained below:
- Preliminary Assessment and Survey: Our engineers conduct an on-site survey to gather information about the current condition of the installation and the areas to be cleaned. At this stage, the contamination situation in the system is analyzed.
- Planning and Proposal: After the survey, the necessary actions are determined, and a detailed price offer is presented to the customer. After the offer is accepted, a work plan is created, and the date of the cleaning process is set.
- Chemical Cleaning Process: Scale, sediment, and foreign substances in the system are removed by using chemicals with inhibitors suitable for the condition of the system. All chemicals are specially formulated so as not to harm your system.
- Final Check and Reporting: After the cleaning process is completed, the system performance is checked. The customer receives a report showing the cleaning results and the condition of the system.
Problems Encountered in Non-Flushing Systems
When flushing is not performed, you may encounter the following problems:
- Blockage and Flow Problems: Impurities accumulated in the pipes obstruct the flow and reduce the efficiency of the system.
- Corrosion and Decay: Corrosion that occurs during the waiting period damages the metal surfaces and shortens the life of the system.
- High Maintenance Costs: Failures are common in systems that are not cleaned, resulting in expensive maintenance costs.
- Life Risks: Especially in industrial systems, decay and puncturing can lead to accidents.
