Understanding Plate Heat Exchanger Scaling and Effective Cleaning Methods
Plate heat exchangers play a crucial role in various industrial processes, but they are susceptible to scaling issues that can significantly impact their efficiency. This article delves into the causes of scaling and explores effective cleaning methods, focusing on mechanical and chemical approaches. Causes of Plate Heat Exchanger Scaling During the operation of plate heat exchangers, the presence of calcium, magnesium, and carbonate in water leads to the formation of hard scale on the heating surface....
