Plate heat exchangers are one used in heating and hot water systems. In this case it is being used in a hot water system of a hotel in conjunction with the hot water cylinder.
The Problem
The efficiency of the plate heat exchanger had been dramatically reduced by limescale build-up.
Solution
A Sidon IntegroTM was installed to remove the existing limescale build-up and prevent future accumulation.
Summary
“The existing scale build-up was removed in the first 3 months of use, and the plate heat exchanger has remained clear since. This has lead to improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption.”
