CLEANING PRODUCTS FOR HEAT EXCHANGERS

A problem frequently encountered in almost all applications is the build-up of deposits on heat transfer surfaces. Alfa Laval supplies a wide range of cleaning agents suitable for removing most of these troublesome deposits and restoring performance to optimal levels. The time-consuming work of opening plate heat exchangers can thus often be avoided by using an Alfa Laval Cleaning in Place (CIP) unit.

Alfa Laval CIP units are available in a wide range of standard sizes, with optional extras that include reversible flow and explosion-proof capabilities. Alfa Laval CIP units can be used for all types of heat exchangers, including spiral heat exchangers, shell-and-tube heat exchangers and gasketed, welded and brazed plate heat exchangers.

Alfa Laval CIP units are simplicity itself:

– Connect the Alfa Laval CIP unit to the heat exchanger

– Mix the cleaning agent with water in the tank

– Circulate the cleaning solution a couple of hours

– Drain and rinse

– Disconnect the CIP unit

– The heat exchanger is back to full performance capacity

Alfa Laval CIP units are a cost-effective way to achieve better performance, and the cleaning agents used are, of course, environmentally friendly.
