Effective cleaning of heat exchangers for optimal performance.
Chemical cleaning of heat exchangers
Fouling of heat exchangers can lead to reduced performance, higher energy costs, and unplanned downtime.
Rell specializes in chemical cleaning of heat exchangers for the industrial, shipping, and energy sectors. Among other things, we clean plate heat exchangers, bundle coolers, Box coolers, air coolers en shell & tube heat exchangers to restore heat transfer, capacity, and reliability.
Through targeted cleaning, we restore heat transfer and improve the efficiency of your installation.
WHEN CLEANING IS NECESSARY
When is dry cleaning necessary
In industrial installations, heat exchangers can become fouled by, among other things:
- Limescale buildup
- Process contamination
- Biological Pollution
- Corrosion products
- Oil- Of Sludge Deposition
Fouling in heat exchangers often occurs gradually, going unnoticed for a long time. A fouled heat exchanger leads to higher energy costs, reduced heat transfer, and an increased chance of unplanned downtime. Timely chemical cleaning prevents production loss and extends the lifespan of the installation.
CLEANING METHODS
Cleaning methods
Depending on the type of heat exchanger, the fouling, and the material, we determine the most effective cleaning method. In many cases, we combine multiple techniques for an optimal result.
- Chemical cleaning of plate heat exchangers
- Ultrasonic cleaning of plates and components
- Mechanical cleaning of heat exchanger plates
- Cleaning tubes and bundles
- Thermal cleaning for heavy soiling
- Pressure testing and inspections after cleaning
We determine the most effective method on a case-by-case basis.

Through our experience with various systems, we can quickly determine a suitable cleaning strategy.
CLEANING RESULT
Result of professional cleaning
Professional cleaning can significantly improve the performance of a heat exchanger. By removing deposits, scale, oil, sludge, and corrosion products, heat transfer is restored and pressure drop is reduced.
- Heat Transfer Recovery
- Energy consumption storage
- Less Pressure Drop
- Reliable Operation of Systems
- Higher cooling capacity
- Less chance of downtime
- Lifespan extension
- Lower maintenance costs
In many cases, cleaning can significantly extend the lifespan of heat exchangers.
