Industrial Descaler for Facility Maintenance
Facility Maintenance & Cleaning Applications
Essential equipment like boilers, cooling towers, chillers, and condensers require routine maintenance in order to perform as intended. Vital to facility operations, this equipment uses water to conduct its processes. Over time, water-operated equipment builds up scale and mineral deposits, causing a range of unfavorable conditions that affect performance.
Without routine maintenance, equipment may lose efficiency, increase operating costs, or become damaged. Understanding how often facility equipment should be cleaned and descaled will ensure the proper maintenance and performance of your equipment for years to come.
How Often Should Boiler Tube Cleaning Be Conducted?
Boiler tubes should undergo cleaning and descaling annually. Building up calcium, magnesium, rust, and other mineral deposits as a result of heating water for heat transfer processes, boiler tube cleaning restores technical and economic performance. Depending on the scale volume, boiler tube cleaning procedures to remove scale can take 4 to 8 hours.
When is Cooling Tower Descaling Necessary?
Cooling tower descaling should typically take place annually or as needed to provide optimum performance. Cooling towers can have calcium buildup, leading to reduced water flow, restricted airflow and reduced heat transfer ability, leading to lower efficiency and higher costs.
How Frequent Should Chiller Descaling Take Place?
As a routine maintenance operation, chiller cleaning should occur once every two to three or three to five years. Scale build-up in chillers can increase energy consumption by 30% or more, meaning that descaling is crucial to optimal energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The quality of water used in the chiller can be a factor in determining the frequency of cleaning and may influence preventative maintenance measures taken to reduce build-up.
How Often is Condenser Descaling Required?
Condensers are generally manufactured with a maximum thermal resistance or fouling factor, affecting equipment performance when excessive buildup occurs. Typically, it’s best to conduct condenser cleaning once a year. However, if your operation tends to have a higher rate of scale building up or other contamination, perform descaling and or cleaning as required.
