Heat exchangers are susceptible to fouling and scaling. Deposits such as lime and biofilm form an insulating layer on the heat transfer surface.
As a result, heat is transferred less efficiently, and the system consumes more energy to achieve the same result.
To restore performance, periodic cleaning—such as CIP processes—is often necessary. These processes result in downtime and require the use of chemicals and rinse water, which incur additional costs and place a burden on the process.
SmartFlow prevents the buildup of contaminants on heat exchangers. The ultrasonic action ensures that scale and biofilm cannot adhere to the surface.
The system operates continuously and keeps the heat transfer surface clean without the need for chemical cleaning or downtime.
Keeping heat exchangers clean ensures that heat transfer remains stable and efficient. System performance remains consistent, while energy consumption decreases because no insulating layer of scale builds up. As a result, cleaning is not required—or is needed less frequently—and unplanned downtime is avoided.
This ensures that processes continue to run efficiently and extends maintenance intervals.
SmartFlow largely eliminates the need for CIP processes and chemical cleaning. No chemicals, no additional rinse water, and fewer waste streams. You reduce your environmental impact and comply with increasingly stringent requirements for industrial processes.
