Use the Pros for Your Heat Exchanger Tube Cleaning
Many devices use a heat exchanger system in order for the
equipment to run efficiently and prevent excess heat within a system. For example, your car engine and boiler both use heat exchangers to maintain an appropriate heat level. Boat engines also have heat exchangers, from the small ski boat docked at the marina to the large landing carriers that the Navy uses for ocean landings. In every case, they all have something in common and that is that if the heat exchanger is not properly maintained with heat exchanger tube
cleaning then they will not run the way that they are supposed to run over the long term.
Now for your vehicle, your radiator acts as your heat exchanger, and cleaning the tubes in your radiator is not as complicated as the needs would be on a marine vessel. On your vehicle you can clean the outside of the radiator and your job is done, perhaps a yearly maintenance
rodding out of the inside will do. However, on a boat the heat exchanger tube cleaning is a much more complicated matter and it requires skilled labor to successfully clean these complex systems.
Part of the reason why it requires trained personnel to properly do heat exchanger tube cleaning is because
this type of cleaning requires specialized equipment and the ability to work within the network of tubes. A large boat is much larger than you can fathom and the heat exchanger on a boat of this size can be quite a large piece of equipment. Often they are large enough that
personnel actually crawl through the heat exchanger tubes themselves while
doing the necessary cleaning.
There are two common ways to perform heat exchanger tube cleaning. The first is through water pressure. In larger tubes this can be very effective because a person is physically observing the amount of debris found within the tube and ensuring that it is cleaned out. However, in a smaller heat exchanger tube, let's say one that snakes through the walls of an area, water pressure may not be sufficient because it often pushes debris into the walls of the tubes.
In this case heat exchanger tube cleaning requires what is called hydro lasing. Hydro lasing is a form of
tube cleaning that uses water in a spiral motion ensuring that not only pressure pushes debris out, but that every curve is hit as well, creating a situation where no debris is left behind.
Performing heat exchanger tube cleaning is very important to the efficient running of your machinery and your boat, boiler, etc. Whatever the case may be, always hire a professional to do the job if you are unclear on how to do it for yourself.
