Industrial Heat-Transfer System Cleaner/
Etchant Additive
The safest, easiest, most
effective way for you to clean your industrial heat-transfer
system.
Industrial heating and cooling
systems all perform the same function – transferring
heat away from or toward your operating equipment. Scale
and corrosion in your system can literally rob it of
efficiency. Laboratory tests show that a 1/16"
film of scale or oxides can reduce by 16 times, the
heat transfer properties of steel (1 square inch of
clean surface = 16 square inches of the same surface
cowered with 1/16 inch thick layer of rust). GENKLEEN
1300 Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive
has proven its ability to clean and descale a variety
of industrial cooling systems. GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial
Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive is a non-acidic
product, which in combination with hydrochloric acid
can remove up to three times more scale or oxides and
corrosion than Hydrochloric acid cleaners alone. Treating
your system with GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat-Transfer
System Cleaner Additive will help solve your heat transfer
problems
FEATURES:
Highly bio-degradable, readily disposable
Will not harm acid resistant gaskets, seals, pumps
Minimal downtime
Ambient temperature cleaning
Clean your system
with GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner
Additive to remove scale, sludge and rust. In systems
containing zinc, magnesium or aluminum parts it is critical
to assess compatibility with acid materials. GENKLEEN
1300 Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive
– Hydrochloric acid exhibits superior cleaning
performance when compared to Hydrochloric acid alone.
GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat Transfer
System Cleaner Additive is better because:
It saves time, money and
downtime
Consider the cost of sending equipment off-site
for service, or even the cost of replacing equipment.
Now compare those costs to on-site (or even on-line
cleaning) with GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat Transfer
System Cleaner Additive.Because GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial
Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive is easy to
use, off-site cleaning can often be eliminated.
This means less downtime and better control of your
costly equipment.
It cleans better!
Removes up to three times more oxides, corrosion
and hard-water scale than mineral-acid cleaners
-- verified by testing and by customer applications.
It's safer!
GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner
Additive is non-acidic, non-toxic and biodegradable.
It meets all Department of Transportation regulations
for shipment by land and sea. It also has a long
shelf life.
It's easier to use!
Ease of handling permits more jobs to be done on-site.
It reduces risks!
To personnel--because there are no dangerous alkaline
materials to handle or special protective gear required.
Normal safe-handling procedures for acid materials
are required.
To equipment--because there is no alkaline residue to attack metal parts.
To the environment--because the non-toxic, and biodegradable composition of GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat-Transfer System Cleaner Additive is easily treated by most municipal water treatment plants.
APPLICATION :
Industrial
Applications:
Because of its unique characteristics, GENKLEEN
1300 Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive
is an ideal cleaner additive for the following systems,
regardless of size:
Heating or cooling systems containing dissimilar
metals or with critical tolerance factors which
are adversely affected by the use of alkaline cleaners.
Heating or cooling systems which must be cleaned
online.
Heating or cooling systems with piping and components
in areas (offices, hospitals, apartment buildings,
etc.) where critical equipment, people or other
systems which could be adversely affected by leaks
or accidental spills of alkaline cleaning solution.
NOTE: In systems containing soft metals such as zinc, magnesium,
GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner
Additive should not be used at concentrations over two
percent, or in excess of two hours unless etching of
these metals is unimportant.
Cleaning procedure:
While it is difficult to provide a
single cleaning procedure for all situations, certain
elements are similar in the majority of cases. The following
guideline procedures are recommended, however the user
should assess his system carefully prior to use.
One or more critical sections
of the system (heat exchanger, pump, tank, etc.)
should be opened prior to cleaning to determine
the extent and type of scale present. This permits
a reasonable estimate of the solution strength and
circulating time required to clean the system effectively.
After inspection, close the system
and fill with ambient temperature water; then circulate
for at least 15 minutes.
Discontinue circulation and immediately
drain and flush the system through a low point to
remove loose, undissolved solids. If left in the
system, these solids unnecessarily contribute to
depletion of the cleaner solution.
Refill the system with a solution
of diluted Hydrochloric acid and add GENKLEEN 1300
Industrial Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive,
ranging in concentration from between one to five
percent (by volume), depending upon the amount of
scale in the system.
Never add concentrated Hydrochloric
Acid to the GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat Transfer
System Cleaner Additive or the GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial
Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive to the concentrated
Hydrochloric acid.
Systems containing a very thin
layer of scale are readily cleaned by one percent
solution of the cleaner additive, to the hydrochloric
acid cleaner while systems with up to 1/16"
of scale require larger addition.
NOTE:The above recommendations
apply to systems with a volume of 500 gallons or
less. Systems with a larger volume, but similar
surface area, require less than a proportional increase
in the volume addition of GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial
Heat Transfer System Cleaner Additive.
After the circulation period,
drain the system and rinse with water until the
rinsing runs clear.
Inspect the system to determine
if the scale has been removed. If required, repeat
the cleaning procedure.
Cleaning Time:
The time required
to clean a system with GENKLEEN 1300 Industrial Heat
Transfer System Cleaner Additive is dependent upon several
variables, such as: type of scale to be removed, thickness
of scale, flow rate, solution concentration, solution
temperature, and the ratio of solution volume to system
surface area.
Generally, solution concentrations
between one and five percent will provide satisfactory
cleaning in two to four hours at room temperature.
