Maintaining the cleanliness of the plates in plate-type coolers is a crucial condition for preserving a high thermal conductivity. Within the plates, the medium moves along narrow, winding channels. Even a relatively thin scale buildup can alter the channels, significantly affecting fluid movement, increasing pressure drop and reducing the thermal conductivity. For instance, a sugar factory used a plate-type stainless steel heat exchanger during heating. Due to improper treatment of the secondary water, the channels became blocked within just two months of use, rendering the unit inoperable.

Chemical Cleaning Method

This method involves circulating a chemical solution through the heat exchanger, which dissolves and removes dirt from the plate surface. This process does not require disassembling the heat exchanger, simplifying the cleaning procedure and reducing the labor involved. Due to the wavy pattern of the plates promoting vigorous turbulence in the cleaning fluid, which aids in dissolving scale, the chemical cleaning method is a highly desirable approach.

2. Mechanical (Physical) Cleaning Method

This method involves manually brushing the back of the plates to remove surface dirt. Although direct, it is not effective in cleaning away thick, hard deposits.

3. Comprehensive Cleaning Method

For cases where the oil cooler scale is both hard and thick, it's difficult to clean thoroughly with a single method. The integrated approach involves first softening the scale using chemical cleaning, followed by mechanical (physical) cleaning to ensure the plates remain clean and free of scale.

Our chemical industry is flourishing, and machinery for chemical production operations is indispensable in this field. The development of chemical cooler equipment is meticulously researched by specialized scientific personnel. This includes the research and development of oil coolers. What are some of the functions and excellent features of oil coolers?

Heat Transfer Technology

The design of the oil cooler's heat transfer tubes is in a copper threaded configuration, resulting in a significantly larger heat transfer area and more effective heat transfer compared to many standard heat transfer tubes.

Due to the design characteristics of the oil cooler, there is no occurrence of weld point detachment during operation. If weld point detachment were to happen, it would affect the heat transfer efficiency. Therefore, the oil cooler maintains a stable heat transfer performance.

Oil Leak Issue

Due to the integrated design of the boards and main components, and the inspection of anti-leakage issues, it can effectively prevent oil leakage to some extent, thus demonstrating excellent performance in oil leakage prevention.

During the installation process

Installation of the oil cooler unit is straightforward, as the footrest can rotate 360 degrees, allowing direct mounting on any position of the main unit or oil tank, making the installation process extremely simple.

Traffic specifications

Due to the varying requirements of plate coolers for different applications, there are both high-flow and low-flow processes when using oil coolers, thereby enabling a broader range of uses across various applications.

Oil coolers have found widespread application in various industries such as chemical processing, smelting, and mining. Not only do they maintain consistent performance, but they also excel in heat transfer efficiency.
