Mechanical cleaning of heat exchangers covers a wide range of measures to maintain performance and reliability. It includes internal cleaning – either on the tube side (carried out at the factory or directly on site) or on the housing side (at the factory).
Depending on the application, high-pressure cleaning or brush cleaning of the tube side is applied to remove deposits effectively. By cleaning both the inner and outer sides, the thermodynamic performance of the equipment can be significantly improved. This process not only optimises efficiency, but also contributes to corrosion protection, ensuring long-term durability and safe operation of your heat exchangers.
Il servizio Kelvion comprende analisi delle prestazioni, ricondizionamento, adattamenti e prove di tenuta, sempre secondo i più elevati standard di qualità. Particolare attenzione è dedicata alla sostituzione professionale delle guarnizioni, determinante per prestazioni e sicurezza operativa a lungo termine.
Il nostro processo strutturato in 10 fasi comprende ispezioni, sostituzione delle vecchie guarnizioni, pulizia e controlli con liquidi penetranti, garantendo così risultati di prima classe e prestazioni affidabili dell’impianto.
Key Service Solutions
Chemical cleaning is a highly effective method for removing deposits, scaling, and corrosion products from heat exchangers. The process uses specially formulated cleaning agents that circulate through the equipment to dissolve unwanted residues without causing damage to the base material.
Depending on the fouling type and material of the heat exchanger, different chemical solutions are applied, such as acidic, alkaline, or neutral detergents.
This method ensures thorough cleaning of even hard-to-reach areas inside the equipment, where mechanical methods may be limited.
Our 10-Step-Process for installing new gaskets equals a first-class result. First, we inspect the equipment before removing the old gasket and cleaning the plates. This is followed by a dye test and second inspection, removal of the dye residue, cleaning the gasket groove and final plate inspections.
The new plates are then fitted and quality checked. This plug and play, ‘problem-free’ solution, using original spare parts, ensures that plate heat exchangers will return to their optimal performance and extend their lifetime, giving you peace of mind.
Plate heat exchangers can sometimes be exposed to external influences that may cause microscopic leaks. With our innovative leakage test we can track down any material fatigue by feeding a hydrogen/nitrogen mixture into the closed plate heat exchanger on the water side. This is faster and more efficient than conventional methods and can also be used as a preventative tightening test.
Spare parts and replacements play a crucial role in maintaining equipment reliability, performance, and longevity.
When your equipment reaches the end of its lifecycle or no longer meets your operational requirements, our replacement service provides a seamless transition to a new, optimised solution.
An effective spare parts management strategy ensures minimal downtime, optimised maintenance schedules, and cost-efficient operations. By keeping critical spare parts readily available, companies can respond quickly to unexpected failures and maintain continuous production. Additionally, using genuine or high-quality replacement parts helps preserve system efficiency, safety, and compliance with technical standards.
Upgrading or replacing heat exchangers improves energy efficiency, reliability, and system performance. Modern designs enable higher thermal efficiency,reduced pressure losses, and better integration into existing systems.
When upgrades are no longer sufficient, replacing aging heat exchangers provides a sustainable long-term solution, lowering maintenance needs and supporting current efficiency and regulatory requirements. Both options represent a strategic investment in operational performance and energy efficiency.

Anche gli scambiatori di calore a piastre ad alte prestazioni sono soggetti a naturale usura durante l’esercizio. Monitoraggio e manutenzione regolari garantiscono un funzionamento efficiente nel tempo ed evitano costosi fermi non pianificati. Ispezioni ricorrenti contribuiscono inoltre in modo significativo a prolungare la durata.
