Plate Heat Exchanger Cleaning

Heat exchangers are an important mechanical device that provides heat transfer between two different fluids without any physical contact. Widely used in heating, cooling, and energy systems, heat exchangers transfer heat efficiently thanks to their large surface area. However, the accumulation of scale, sediment, and corrosion over time can reduce the performance of the heat exchanger and even bring the system to a standstill.

What is a Heat Exchanger and Why is it Important?

Heat exchangers are one of the key components of heating and cooling systems. Their task is to provide heat transfer between fluids and thus support the efficient operation of the systems. Heat exchangers used in hot water supply, especially in combi boilers, can become clogged over time due to lime and sediment. This causes problems in hot water supply, and exchangers that are not cleaned face the risk of puncturing over time.

Heat exchangers are used not only in combi boilers but also in industrial sectors such as energy, food, chemicals, and many others. Regular cleaning of these devices is critical for efficient operation and long life.

Types of Pollution in Heat Exchangers

Impurities that accumulate in heat exchangers over time can seriously affect system performance. The most common types of contamination are:

• Calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and silicates
• Rust deposits and metal oxides
• Sludge and alumina deposits
• Bacterial and diatomaceous organism deposits
• Oil and oil residues

These impurities cause blockages in the heat exchanger, reducing heat transfer and shortening the life of the device.

Importance of Heat Exchanger Cleaning Chemical

The chemical used in heat exchanger cleaning is extremely important for the success of the cleaning process and the safety of the device. Using the wrong chemicals can cause punctures and corrosion in the heat exchanger. Especially commonly used porous and diluted acids can cause damage to the heat exchanger when errors are made in dosage and application time.

KOMBİMAX Heat Exchanger Cleaning Chemical has been specially produced to prevent these risks and to ensure the safety of the device during application. KOMBİMAX effectively removes scale, sediment, and other deposits from the heat exchanger, prolongs the life of the device, and eliminates the risk of punctures.

How is Heat Exchanger Cleaning Performed?

Heat exchanger cleaning is carried out by the chemical circulation method. This method allows the chemical to circulate through the heat exchanger with the help of a cleaning machine to remove the deposits. The cleaning process may vary depending on the type of heat exchanger. Heat exchanger types are as follows:

• Tube Type Heat Exchangers
• Plate Heat Exchangers
• Spiral and Special Application Heat Exchangers

Although the cleaning method is basically the same for each type of heat exchanger, the chemicals used and the cleaning processes must be appropriate for the nature of the heat exchanger.

Advantages of Regular Cleaning

Heat exchangers that are cleaned regularly offer many advantages:

• Efficient Heat Transfer: When deposits are removed, the heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger improves.
• Energy Savings: Higher efficiency is achieved with less energy.
• Long Device Life: The heat exchanger can be used longer as the risks of corrosion and puncturing are reduced.
• Low Maintenance Costs: Maintenance costs are reduced by preventing blockages and malfunctions.
