HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING
XChanger Mechanical has developed superior methods and procedures for cleaning heat exchangers and condensers. We inspect each unit so that blockages and improperly plugged tubes can be detected, marked and repaired. Key Benefits of Tube Cleaning Heat Exchangers and Condensers
More efficient steam cycle
Lowered heat rate
Cleaning Methods:
Brushes
Usi
ng a compressed air/water mixture, we will propel stiff bristle brushes through the tubes to remove mud and soft deposits. Scrapers
Using high-pressure water, we will shoot scrapers through the tubes to remove hard scale. We have the ability to adjust the tension of the scraper blades to insure minimal damage to the tubes during cleaning. Rotating Mechanical Brushes and Scrapers
For smaller heat exchangers, we use equipment similar to Thomas C. Scrapers or brushes are driven with a high-speed motor with a flexible cable to remove and flush debris. CHEMICAL CLEANING
XChanger Mechanical can immerse heat exchangers in a cleaning solution. This process will remove baked on residue from both the outside and inside of the tubes or plates. This allows all the tubes to be cleaned. This chemical bath will not harm copper, stainless steel or carbon steel tubes. PROTECTIVE COATING
XChanger Mechanical is an expert in the turnkey application of protective coatings. For industrial plants these coatings are most often used for the protection or restoration of concrete floors and containment areas. Tanks, waterboxes, cooling towers and pump casings are other possible applications. METALS INSERT
XChanger Mechanical is involved in the repair of tube sheets and heat exchanger/condenser tubes. TESTING
XChanger Mechanical has extensive experience in troubleshooting heat exchanger or condenser problems. To arrive at a proper diagnosis. We use a full range of testing methods to properly and accurately assess the problem and develop a repair plan. Proven methods for analyzing heat exchanger and condenser problems
Accurate and cost-efficient
These tests allow us to determine the full nature of the heat exchanger problem and develop cost-effective repair methods. TUBULAR AIR HEATER REPAIR
XChanger Mechanical has experience in the repair of tubular air heaters and associated equipment. We have developed special techniques for repairing tubular air heaters. These repairs include:
Metal Inserts: Expansion of metal inserts into tubes to repair holes or combat erosion
Coupling: Installing couplings to allow new tube sections to be installed. Retubing: Performing complete retubing service
WELDING SERVICES
XChanger Mechanical has considerable experience and expertise to complete welding and fabrication assignments. We maintain quality programs to insure that any project is completed in a professional manner. Welding and fabrication projects can be completed at your site or in our warehouse in Cartersville GA. Due to our attention to quality, we are holders of the “R” stamp as issued by the National Board of Columbus Ohio. This allows us to make repairs to vessels manufactured and registered to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII code. We are also able to fabricate or repair piping systems meeting specifications of B31.1.
