Fin fan cleaning designed to restore airflow and cooling performance.
The Hydro Clean process can increase cooling capacity by more than 30% without disrupting production, helping maintain full plant uptime.
- 4°C increase in skin temperature
- 30% increase in airflow
- 15% increase in cooling capacity at ambient design temperature
- No production disruption during cleaning
Fouling reduces airflow distribution and therefore cooling capacity.
Atmospheric dust and debris collect on finned tubes, particularly in damp and oily environments. The principal result is reduced and maldistributed airflow, leading directly to lower cooling performance.
High-volume wash with controlled chemistry
ASL’s Hydro Clean method combines high-volume wash, controlled chemical application, close-proximity jetting and rinse cycles using adapted cleaning agents, plant and equipment.
Maintain optimum cooler efficiency
Fin fan cleaning helps keep finned tubes as free as possible from surface contamination so cooling performance can be maintained.
Airflow restoration
Improving airflow distribution is central to restoring fin fan performance.
Cooling capacity recovery
The service helps recover lost capacity before more invasive interventions are considered.
Live plant relevance
Results can be achieved without disrupting production.
Natural link to optimisation
Cleaning and performance analysis can be combined where fouling and fan settings both affect final performance.
