When the heat exchanger runs for a long time, scale and rust problems will inevitably occur. Corrosive heat exchanger cooling, untreated chilled water is highly corrosive. For example, adding water to ordinary billets or nails will rust after a few days, and the rust will become more serious the longer it is placed. Then, let's take a look at the precautions for cleaning and maintenance of heat exchangers.   

When the heat exchanger runs for a long time, scale and rust problems will inevitably occur. Corrosive heat exchanger cooling, untreated chilled water is highly corrosive. For example, adding water to ordinary billets or nails will rust after a few days, and the rust will become more serious the longer it is placed. Then, let's take a look at the precautions for cleaning and maintenance of heat exchangers.     

 The inner wall of the equipment is sometimes rusted and peeled off due to corrosion, or even perforated. The fallen rust slag blocks the coil and reduces the heat exchange effect; at the same time, the existence of corrosion greatly shortens the life of the equipment. Inorganic salts dissolved in water crystallize out in the pipes, forming scaling on the walls of heat exchangers such as condensers, reducing the heat exchange efficiency and the cooling effect, which is seriously reduced by 30%. At the same time, the hard scale increases, and the power consumption increases, which will increase by 35% in severe cases. Bio-slime is formed by cement, sediment, and septic plants, together with the bio-slime formed by microorganisms such as bacteria and algae and their secretions, and the pipeline is blocked in severe cases. The adhesion of dirt and mud will affect the heat exchange efficiency, consume a lot of power, cause high-pressure operation, and in severe cases will cause over-pressure to stop.

 

These have seriously affected the normal operation of the heat exchanger. Therefore, once scaling, rust, sludge, bacteria and algae problems occur in the heat exchanger system, the heat exchange capacity will be reduced, the service life will be shortened, the operation reliability will be reduced, the energy consumption will increase, and the operating cost will increase. In order to make the heat exchanger system operate in an optimized state, special chemical treatment of the heat exchanger cooling water and chilled water system is required, namely descaling, rust removal, slime, sterilization and anticorrosion treatment, which means energy saving and Reduce operating costs. In the heat transfer process of the evaporator and condenser of the heat exchanger, the fouling directly affects the heat transfer efficiency and the normal operation of the equipment. The operation results of the heat exchanger show that the energy consumption increases by 10-10- 30%, the service life is extended, and the equipment depreciation and use expenses are reduced. Reduce accident downtime and improve cooling.

 

Cleaning can remove sludge, unblock pipelines and clean water quality. At the same time, descaling and anti-scaling improve the thermal efficiency of the condenser and evaporator, thereby avoiding the overpressure shutdown phenomenon of high-pressure operation, increasing the flow of chilled water, improving the freezing effect, and making the system operate safely. Save a lot of repair costs for users: untreated heat exchangers will cause pipeline blockage, scaling, corrosion, and overpressure shutdowns to accidents. For example, the heat exchanger is corroded and leaked, and it is polluted by the solution. It needs to replace the copper pipe, replace the solution, and repair the main engine. Generally, the maintenance cost is 20,000-50,000 yuan. After treatment, maintenance costs can be reduced, equipment life can be extended, and hundreds of thousands and millions of losses can be reduced for customers.

 

In order to make the heat exchanger system operate in an optimized state, special chemical treatment should be performed on the water system of the heat exchanger system. Scale removal, rust, mud, sterilization, anti-corrosion treatment.

 

1. Chemical cleaning and sterilization: Add chemical cleaning agents and bactericides to disperse and discharge rust, dirt, oil, bacteria and algae in the system to clean and restore to a clean metal surface;

 

2. Daily maintenance: add corrosion and scale inhibitor to avoid metal rusting and prevent calcium and magnesium ion crystallisation and precipitation.

 

The above are the precautions for cleaning and maintenance of heat exchangers. If you need to know more, you can contact us at any time! Our company has many years of experience and is looking forward to your joining at any time.
