HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING SERVICE

A heat exchanger cleaning removes scale, rust, and biofilm that build up inside plates or tubes and block heat transfer. When fouling builds, approach temperature rises, pressure drop increases, pumps work harder, and energy costs spike—plus equipment life shortens and unplanned shutdowns become more likely. Cleaning restores heat-transfer efficiency, stabilizes system temperatures, lowers energy use, and protects your chillers, boilers, and process equipment.

How we do it (what it consists of): we start with a quick inspection and baseline readings (∆T, pressure drop, flow) to confirm fouling. The unit is isolated, and we select the best method for its design and condition—typically a circulated, inhibited descaling wash that dissolves mineral deposits without attacking metals or gaskets. For plate-and-frame units we can open, inspect, and re-gasket plates as needed; for shell-and-tube units we combine circulation with mechanical brushing/rodding or low-pressure hydro-jetting where required. Afterward we neutralize and flush, check for leaks, verify approach temperature/pressure drop improvements, and provide a short report with before/after readings and photos. Most jobs can be completed with minimal disruption—and in many cases without a full system shutdown.
