Clearcoil HVAC Heat Exchanger Coil Deep Cleaning

Airborne dust and debris causes enormous problems for mechanical air handling and air conditioning equipment. Particulates carried on external and internal air will impact, impinge and quickly foul surfaces of various mechanical components. Evaporator and Condenser coils are typically intricate structures which are highly sensitive to fouling, if unprotected.

The often moist surfaces of these components increases the likelihood of particulate adhesion and leads to fouling, not only on upstream surfaces but deep inside the coils and fins. Over a period of time the build up of deposits results in a reduction of air flow and thermal transfer qualities, resulting in significantly increased operating costs and also a reduction in the quality of air downstream, in the case of air handling packages.

With the increasing cost of energy it is critical for businesses to look at ways to reduce consumption. Whilst it may not be possible to influence the cost of energy, there are steps you can take to ensure the performance of your plant and equipment is optimised.

Chemical cleaning of main chiller coils and air handling unit coil heat exchangers will significantly improve performance and reduce energy bills. Additionally, ensuring that air handling plant is installed with good quality, well fitted, high efficiency filters will ensure the heat exchanger coils remain free from fouling for longer periods and subsequently maintain performance and ensure cost savings.

Clearwater has many years of experience of thoroughly cleaning ventilation systems. We use our ClearCoil cleaning process to ensure coils are chemically deep cleaned after manual vacuuming and jetting with compressed air. Our ‘toolbox’ approach to cleaning enables us to remove contaminants using the appropriate tools and methods to ensure your heat exchange coils and other components are left in a clean, functional and efficient state.

Coil Cleaning Data

The verification report contains a data table outlining all of the measurements taken both pre-clean and post clean, and including a calculated estimate of the Energy Savings for a year, based on the size of the system, the fan efficiency, the cost of electricity and the number of hours the system is online each year.
