Proper care for your heat exchanger will significantly prolong its lifespan.
Heat exchangers occasionally produce a foul odor due to scale & sludge deposits, depending on your gas furnace’s unique conditions.
A scale coating or a light sludge in either side of your tube heat exchange can considerably lower its effectiveness. Regular maintenance will keep your equipment in official working condition & minimize emergency repairs. Here’s how to take care of your heat exchanger. First, practice online & offline cleaning! Online cleaning aids in preventing scaling & fouling without shutting down your heat exchanger, thus interrupting no operations. It can be used as a standalone approach or side by side with a chemical treatment to deter any decrease in the heat exchanger’s performance, extending the lifespan of your tube. The other cleaning technique is offline cleaning, also referred to as digging. It uses bullet-like equipment sited in each tube & compelled down the tube with high-air pressure… Care for your Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C equipment by maintaining it properly to boost its efficiency & maximize output. Regular maintenance of the Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C equipment will help avoid blockages, fouling, & leakages in the plate heat exchanger, but schedule periodic Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C cleaning to flush out all the debris & dirt that reduce your heat exchanger’s efficiency. This approach incorporates draining both PHE sides until it runs clear. For optimum results, flush in the opposite direction from your official operations. Also, consider cleaning your PHE manually by following your manufacturer’s directions. Clean the plates, preferably, without separating them from their frame so that there is enough room to facilitate movement for manual cleaning when installing the PHE.
