Heat exchangers are essential for thermal energy transfer in industrial, commercial, and marine applications. Whether plate or shell-and-tube exchangers, they are prone to scale buildup, biological contamination, and corrosion, which reduce heat transfer efficiency and increase maintenance costs. HydroFLOW offers an innovative and non-chemical solution to protect heat exchangers from fouling and scale. By ensuring clean surfaces and improving water quality, HydroFLOW helps maintain consistent thermal performance, lowers energy consumption, and extends equipment life. HydroFLOW units contribute in various ways:

Addresses Scale Buildup

Scale buildup on heat exchanger surfaces reduces heat transfer efficiency, forcing systems to consume more energy. HydroFLOW addresses scale formation by keeping minerals in suspension and changing the state of the suspended particles from calcite to aragonite, thus ensuring optimal performance in flow, pressures, and temperature.

Helps Against Biofouling and Bacterial Development

Heat exchangers operating in water-cooled systems are susceptible to biofouling buildup, which can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of bacterial contamination. HydroFLOW units inhibit biofouling formation, keeping heat exchangers clean from microbial development.

Reduces Internal Corrosion and Protects Equipment

Corrosion is a major issue in heat exchangers, leading to costly repairs and premature equipment failure. HydroFLOW reduces corrosion by decreasing biofouling formation and controlling the buildup of corrosive deposits.

Improves Heat Transfer and Energy Efficiency

Dirty or scale-coated heat exchangers require more energy to maintain proper heat transfer, which increases operating costs. HydroFLOW ensures clean surfaces, optimizing thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

Minimizes Downtime and Maintenance Costs

Heat exchangers require regular cleaning and maintenance to remove dirt and scale, leading to system downtime. HydroFLOW reduces maintenance needs by addressing common issues, allowing for more efficient and cost-effective operations over time.
