Cleaning Heat Exchanger Tube Bundles Using a Washing Machine
Lahor Engineering Ltd. operates a machine for cleaning and washing heat exchanger tube bundles.
Heat Exchanger Tube Bundle Cleaning Machine in Operation at Haifa Refineries
The high-pressure water washing machine is designed for use during the refurbishment of chemical and petrochemical facilities, where large quantities of heat exchanger tube bundles are removed and transferred to the cleaning station equipped with this specialized high-pressure washing machine.
Cleaning and washing of the bundles in the high-pressure water machine is performed from within a protected control cabin.
Three to five rods with spray nozzles at their ends are inserted into the tubes of the bundle along their entire length. Water at pressures of up to 1,000 bar flushes out all deposits, leaving the tubes clean down to bare metal.
Similarly, the external cleaning of the bundle is performed. All movements of the rods, as well as the rotation of the bundle, which is placed on roller bases, are hydraulically powered.
Advantages of High-Pressure Water Tube Bundle Washing
Provides cleaning quality equivalent to “like new” condition
Ensures uniform cleaning of all tubes
Significantly reduces cleaning time, minimizing facility downtime
Maximizes operational safety
