Tube and shell heat exchangers continuous cleaning

The importance of keeping heat exchanger tubes clean

Continuous cleaning of heat exchanger tubes conserves optimal heat transfer levels required for the efficient operation of processes. Accumulation of as little as half a milimeter of fouling in the heat exchanger tubes can reduce heat transfer capacity by as much as 40%.

Benefits of maintaining clean heat exchanger tubes:

• Maintain process efficiency by optimizing the heat transfer capacity of the exchanger.
• Increase plant productivity by preventing stoppage days otherwise required for manual cleaning of the tubes.
