Powerful Pressure Washers For Easy Heat Exchangers Cleaning



Heat exchangers cleaning is an important part of cleaning applications in industrial settings. A large number of industries, including chemical manufacturers and oil refineries, utilize heat exchangers to effectively transfer heat from one liquid to another. Keeping these exchangers clean is integral to ensuring the proper functioning of the entire system. Pressure washing machines are now widely used to tackle these cleaning tasks.

Heat exchangers are generally cleaned using the water jetting method. This involves directing highly pressurized water from electric power washers to remove dirt or oil deposits on the exchanger tubes. Heated versions of pressure cleaning systems are exceptionally efficient in dissolving and washing off tough deposits of grime, grease and dirt to offer superior heat exchangers cleaning results.

The greatest challenge in heat exchangers cleaning is accessing the numerous turns, corners, and tight spaces in the system. For instance, the heat exchanges used in the oil industry feature the complex shell and tube design containing numerous tubes. Thankfully, the hot moisture generated by power cleaners penetrates the tiniest of crevices to completely eliminate dirt deposits from surfaces. The powerful degreasing capabilities of pressure cleaner machines also make it ideal for heat exchangers cleaning.

The Super Max™ 12800 available from Daimer® is a powerful and trailer-mountable pressure washing machine ideal for heat exchangers cleaning. Powered by a 1.5 HP NEMA engine, the tri-mode and trailer mountable machine attains pressure levels of 1000 psi and flow rates of 2 gpm. For reliable degreasing results, it generates steam at temperatures as high as 330ºF.
