How to clean shell and tube evaporators?

Shell and tube evaporators carry out evaporation and heat exchange through internal tubes. Inevitably, a lot of dirt adheres to the evaporator tube walls, especially in wastewater evaporators used in industry. There is a lot of dirt in the waste water, which builds up in the pipes and causes them to become completely blocked.

How do to clean shell and tube evaporators?

The cleaning of shell and tube evaporators should be based on the choice of equipment according to the clogging substance and the degree of clogging.

In the field of central air conditioning, the inner wall of the evaporator is adhered to limescale and other soft scales. For many of the same substances as sludge, equipment that drives brushes can be used to clean the dirt from the tube walls.

In the case of industrial use, such as wastewater evaporators, the dirt is relatively hard and cannot be removed by brushes at all. In this case we can use special equipment for wastewater evaporators, professionally blocked, with a rotating knife head that cuts the dirt and cleans the broken dirt through the water.
