Case Study of Problem Solving with Fluororesin Coating: Heat Exchanger
Prevention of decreased thermal efficiency, reduction of cleaning time and effort! It is possible to lower running costs.
Heat exchangers (plate type, tube type) require regular cleaning because sludge adheres to their surfaces over time, reducing thermal conductivity. Previously, we would stop the factory line and hire an external contractor to spend an entire day removing sludge. Additionally, the sludge was as hard as stone, and we had to use wooden mallets to break it off, which often led to deformation or damage to the heat exchangers. By applying a fluoropolymer coating to impart non-adhesive properties, we were able to reduce cleaning time to 2-3 hours, making it easy to remove sludge. This has resulted in reduced working hours and effort, and the heat exchangers are no longer damaged. 【Effects】 ■ Reduction in man-hours due to shorter cleaning time ■ Decreased labor for cleaning tasks ■ Prevention of damage to heat exchangers during cleaning ■ Reduced sludge adhesion, preventing a decline in thermal efficiency *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
