Heat exchangers should be taken out of service for routine maintenance on a predetermined schedule. When such a maintenance cycle is engaged, the first thing that needs to occur while the exchanger is offline is a thorough cleaning. Trust us with this essential job; you have better things to do!

Direct Contact Heat Exchangers

Direct contact heat exchangers require cleaning too. For these types of coolers, you will want to look for corrosion and scale, as they can cause problems. The maintenance process for direct heat exchangers is usually rewelding or replacing trays and supports; and usually is the primary focus of maintenance on these types of coolers. Flushing Services will not only clean direct heat exchangers, we can also perform the necessary tray maintenance as well.

Surface Heat Exchangers

Cleaning surface heat exchangers can be a more involved process; one that you’ll want to have professionally done. If your business or facility is not equipped to handle this process—you’ll want to reach out to us. It is unwise to spend a small fortune on expensive detergents and procedures that won’t produce the results you are after.

The unique thing about Flushing Services is we have patented heat exchanger cleaning technology. Many transmission shops (around 10,00 shops) already trust our Hot Flush machine to remove 99.9% of debris and other contaminants from transmissions. We serve many clients with our Hot Flush machine; one notable client is the United States military.

In addition to patenting and selling the Hot Flush machine to many clients across many industries; we also perform in house cleaning services. We use our trusted Hot Flush technology to clean surface heat exchangers; but, we don’t stop there. We have many other technologies that we employ to ensure your surface cooling device gets cleaned thoroughly, and safely. It isn’t good to take chances with expensive industrial equipment, and we ensure your equipment stays safe; while also ensuring it gets remarkably clean.

Go Beyond Standard Cleaning

Standard cleaning procedures for surface heat exchangers include scrapping tube sheets, cleaning out water boxes, and disassembling smaller cooler units for cleaning. Cleaning the inside of cooler tubes is also a necessary step. We ensure that each of these basic steps is done when applicable in our in house cleaning process. And, we go the extra mile in scenarios where the standard cleaning protocols are not enough!

For heat exchanger tubes, we also go beyond the standard process of forcing water, detergent, or cleaning "bullets" through cooler tubes. Instead of spending top dollar on expensive solvents, we utilize the technology we perfected with our Hot Flush machine to rigorously scour the inside of cooler tubes. This ensures that 99.9% of the debris and contaminant inside these tubes is removed.

Whatever your contaminant may be; corrosion, biological, or chemical, Flushing Services in house cleaning is going to remove it from your heat exchanger tubes.

Large Scale Industrial Cleaning

We have a large facility, over 500,000 square feet, in New Hampton, Iowa. This facility is equipped with the technology and staff to handle even large industrial heat exchanger and oil cooler cleaning.

Let us handle all the work, and we will ship your heat exchanger / oil cooler back to your facility back to you fully cleaned and ready for service. We want to impress you with the degree of clean you’ll find on the outside of coolant tubes, inside these tubes, and every other area of the heat exchanger.

Leakage Check & Cooler Diagnostics

Large and small heat exchangers should be checked for leaks after maintenance. When leaks are present in the cooling device, this—of course—can negatively impact the efficiency of the device. We will professionally inspect each heat exchanger after cleaning and assess it for leaks. If leaks are present, we can also professionally fix them. Whether its plugging up leaking tubes, or replacing the whole cooling tube; we will fix the heat exchanger to your specifications.

In addition to checking for leaks, we can also assess the other performance aspects of your heat exchanger. Let our professional staff analyze your cooling device and ensure that it not only gets cleaned, but gets back to you working as it should. This important step will ensure no unexpected surprises occur in the future. Another reason why trusting Flushing Services for your heat exchanger cleaning is a comprehensive solution to this necessary maintenance.
