Product Overview

Air-cooled heat exchangers and air-cooled condensers lose performance when fins foul and old fans run inefficiently. Two services restore them: an FRP fan retrofit that cuts fan power, and dry soda blast cleaning that removes deposits from the finned tubes without damaging them.

FRP fan retrofit

Replacing old aluminium blades with modern FRP fans typically saves 20–30 % of fan power while maintaining or increasing airflow, with payback often within two years.

Dry soda blast cleaning

Sodium bicarbonate is blasted dry through the fins. It removes dirt, oil and deposits without bending the fins, without water and without chemical residues, restoring the heat transfer of the bundle.

Frequently asked questions

Why soda blasting instead of water washing?

Water washing can bend fins and leave deposits that bake on. Dry soda blasting cleans deeper, leaves no water and the residue is water-soluble.
