Descaling Compound for Heat Transfer Equipment
Descaling Compound for Heat Transfer Equipment
Descaling compounds for heat transfer equipment remove mineral buildup to restore efficiency. Common types include:
Acid-based Descalers: Use acids like hydrochloric to dissolve scale.
Organic Acid Descalers: Use gentler acids like citric or formic.
Chelating Agents: Bind minerals for easier removal.
Enzyme-based Descalers: Break down organic scale.
Descaling compounds for heat transfer equipment are chemicals used to remove scale buildup (mineral deposits like calcium and magnesium) that can impede heat transfer efficiency. These compounds help restore optimal heat transfer and prevent system damage.
Common types of descaling compounds include:
Acid-based Descalers: Typically use hydrochloric or sulfuric acid to dissolve hard water scale.
Organic Acid Descalers: Use citric or formic acid, which are gentler on equipment while still effective at removing scale.
Chelating Agents: These bind to the minerals in scale, making it easier to remove them from surfaces.
Enzyme-based Descalers: Use natural enzymes to break down organic scale, especially in systems with biological fouling.
