Below are general guidelines for how to use Dynamic Descaler™ on the following types of equipment:
- Heat Exchangers
- Plate And Frame Heat Exchangers
- Condensers and Chillers
- Vacuum Pumps
- Cooling Towers and Closed Circuit Cooling
- Boilers
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers in many manufacturing facilities are very crucial in everyday operations. Heat exchangers are designed to transfer heat in the form of kinetic energy from one liquid to another. And while transferring heat, the heat exchanger, over a period of time will collect lime,scale and rust on the waterside of the exchanger.
With Dynamic Descaler, you do not have to dismantle or remove the unit from your operations. You may want to install a system, which will inject Dynamic Descaler into your water supply on a regular basis for your cooling tower, chiller, or your closed loop water system. This procedure will eliminate downtime in your everyday operations while cleaning out your exchanger.
Condensers and Chillers
For instructions on how to remove water scale from condensers and chillers, click below.
Vacuum Pumps
For instructions on how to remove water scale, lime, mud and rust from the casting, rotor, hub, cones and associated piping of your vacuum pumps, click below.
Cooling Towers & Closed Circuit Water Cooling Systems
Dynamic Descaler Water Scale, Lime, Rust, Dirt Remover used in the cleaning of cooling towers and closed circuit water cooling systems is most usually accomplished while the water cooled equipment is online and without the necessity of shut-down. In order to dissolve all water scale, lime, rust and dirt from the waterside of your equipment, it is imperative that these instructions are followed.

Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers
The gasketed plate heat exchanger is built up by of a number of corrugated plates, channels are formed between the plates and the corner ports are arranged so that the two media flow through alternate channels. The heat is transferred through the plate between the channels, and complete counter-current flow is created for highest possible efficiency. The corrugation of the plates provides the passage between the plates, supports each plate against the adjacent one and enhances the turbulence, resulting in very efficient heat transfer.
Heat transfer efficiency up to five times that of other types of heat exchangers!
The industrial gasketed plate heat exchanger consists of a plate pack of corrugated metal plates with portholes for the passage of two fluids between which heat transfer takes place.
The plate pack is assembled between a frame plate and a pressure plate and compressed by tightening bolts.
Some Plate Heat Exchangers are designed specifically for use in the food, dairy and brewing industries. A major feature of PHE’s used for this process is a sanitary plate designed to achieve optimum distribution of the product over the entire plate surface. These liquid food plants are designed for the concentration of malt, beer, yeast, fruit juices, pulp and other liquid food products to remove water and stabilize enzymes, prior to product storage.
The Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger, can also be used in the cooling and heating of fibrous materials, such as, fruit juices and fluids containing pulp, fruit purees, turbid fruit juices, dairy mixes, citrus pulp, and highly viscous liquids.
The unique capabilities of the PHE makes it suitable for a wide range of applications that extend beyond refrigeration such as: refrigerant evaporating & condensing, heat pumps, steam heating, engine or hydraulic oil cooling, swimming pool heating, and heat recovery for industrial applications e.g. waste water, dye works, paper manufacture etc.
Air Compressors
A reciprocating air compressor is normally a heavy-duty, continuous service compressor. Cylinder construction usually incorporates a water jacketed cylinder and water jacketed heads to remove some of the heat of compression and also to improve the lubrication and reduce carbonization of valve parts. Water jacketing around valve and packing is essential, since these are points of localized heating.
As time goes on, you will have lime, water scale and rust accumulation inside the water jackets, which in time, will overheat the air compressor. This will also occur in the intercooler and aftercooler. With Dynamic Descaler lime, water scale, rust remover you can clean these vital parts, without disassembling the cylinders, aftercooler, and the intercooler.
Just simply remove the water in/out connection from each part and circulate Dynamic Descaler for the recommended amount of time. After the circulation, flush with water and connect the water in/out connections back to the proper location.
If your compressor is running off a closed loop water system or a cooling tower, you may want to pour the Dynamic Descaler into one of these systems. This will eliminate the downtime in your plant operation versus disconnecting your in/out connections from each vital part.
