Heat Transfer System Cleaning

Restore thermal efficiency in dirty or carbonized heat transfer systems with CALFLO cleaning and flushing fluids.

The Problem

Carbon & Coke Buildup in Your System

Over time, heat transfer fluid degrades and forms carbon deposits that accumulate on pipe walls. This buildup acts as an insulator, drastically reducing heat transfer efficiency and restricting flow.

  • Reduces thermal efficiency by up to 30%
  • Increases energy costs significantly
  • Creates potential fire and safety hazards
The Snowball Effect

A Self-Reinforcing Cycle of Degradation

Heat transfer fluid degradation creates a vicious cycle that accelerates over time if left untreated. Understanding this cycle is key to preventing costly system failures and maintaining efficiency.

  1. 1Excessive Heat causes thermal cracking of the fluid, breaking down its molecular structure
  2. 2Fouling Occurs as degraded fluid deposits carbon residue on heat transfer surfaces
  3. 3Energy Demand Increases as the heater works harder to achieve target temperatures through fouled surfaces
  4. 4Cycle Repeats with higher heat exposure causing even more thermal cracking
Diagram showing the cyclical degradation of heat transfer fluid: excessive heat causes thermal cracking, surfaces get fouled with residues, and the heater must produce more energy to compensate

Free Heat Transfer Fluid Analysis

Heat transfer fluid in asphalt plants degrades over time due to extreme temperatures, leading to fouled surfaces, increased energy costs, and potential safety hazards. Regular testing helps you maintain optimal system performance.

Safety Risk: Thermal cracking creates low boilers that reduce flash point and can cause auto-ignition

Energy Savings: Carbon buildup requires more energy to heat - monitoring fluid condition saves money
