CLEANING GUIDE FOR OUTDOOR HEAT EXCHANGERS
1. GENERAL RULES
It is strongly recommended to regularly clean coil of the heat exchanger, at least once a year. Insufficiently maintained
equipment will have a short life expectancy, compared with an identical equipment with regular routine maintenance.
An insufficiently maintained equipment exposed to an aggressive environment, may be quickly deteriorated, even if an
appropriate protective treatment has been applied for the manufacturing of equipment.
The purpose of the cleaning is to get rid of all the hydroscopic crystals as well as deposits of all kinds.
Depending on the environmental and operating conditions, it may be necessary to increase the frequency of cleaning,
particularly depending on:
- operating time of the fans
- quality of the surrounding air (proximity to sea, factories, relative humidity, ...)
- presence of adiabatic ramps
The frequency of the cleaning operations is mainly function of the conditions of use and of the amount of the deposits. That's
why, it is recommended to regularly carry out a visual inspection of the exchanger in order to start a cleaning operation as soon
as necessary.
A late cleaning :
- will take longer time to achieve
- will be more complex to achieve
- reduces the life expectancy of the exchanger
Below, 3 pictures of exchangers at different states of soiling (photos given as an indication).
Turn off the entire unit, and secure the unit against unintentional power-on.
Comply with the site's specific safety instructions.
For heat exchangers with BLYGOLD® or HERESITE® coating, refer to the paragraph specific to each treatment.
If the fins are damaged, it is necessary to straighten them with an appropriate tool before starting a cleaning procedure.
