With impulses instead of chemicals

Clean heat exchangers efficiently

Comprex® removes deposits and residues from heat exchangers – quickly, effectively and without chemicals. For stable performance, optimum heat transfer and maximum operational reliability.

When deposits slow down performance

Typical challenges - and how we solve them

Heat exchangers (also known as heat exchangers) are industrial devices that transfer thermal energy from one material flow to another. The lower the heat transfer resistance, the higher their efficiency.
With Comprex® you can clean your systems in a targeted manner – quickly, gently and without chemicals.

01
The problem

In heat exchangers, limescale, rust, biofilms or production residues lead to decreasing heat exchanger performance, uneven process conditions and increasing energy consumption.

Contamination or deposits – also known as fouling – form additional contact resistance and significantly impair the function of the heat exchanger.

02
The solution

Comprex® uses specifically controlled air-water pulses to effectively remove fouling deposits – using only adapter connections at the inlet and outlet. Strong shearing forces efficiently remove deposits – without chemical additives.

Typical areas of application:

  • Plate heat exchanger

  • Shell and tube heat exchanger

03
The result

Your heat exchangers are efficiently cleaned on both the medium side and the heat transfer medium side – without cost-intensive dismantling and leak testing.

They regain full performance and flow rate, heat transfer is significantly improved, energy consumption is reduced and operational reliability is increased.

3 steps to clean production systems

Step 1 Analysis & planning

In the initial consultation with you, we decide together the most economical way: either the heat exchanger is cleaned on your premises or sent to our cleaning center in Landau.

Taking into account the local conditions and process requirements, we develop a customized cleaning plan – tailored to your system technology, critical bottlenecks and the required process reliability.

Step 2 Preparation

We plan the cleaning sections, determine the entry and exit points and take care of all the logistics. When cleaning on your premises, our team of technicians arrives with the appropriate equipment and remains on site for the duration of the project.

Step 3 Cleaning & commissioning

Cleaning is carried out using targeted pulses of air and water with the Comprex® process. Deposits and residues are thoroughly removed – quickly, gently and usually without chemical additives.

Once the measure has been completed, we return the system to regular operation.

Frequently asked questions about heat exchangers

How does cleaning with Comprex® work in heat exchangers?

Comprex® uses controlled air-water pulses that move at high speed through the pipe bundles and channels. This creates shear forces that reliably loosen and remove deposits and residues – completely without chemicals and in many cases without dismantling.

In many cases – depending on your production processes – on-site cleaning can be carried out during short shutdown phases or in parallel with scheduled maintenance. This keeps production downtime to a minimum, and it is often even possible to clean without completely shutting down the system.

Comprex® reliably removes limescale, rust, biofilms, production residues and solids. Even stubborn deposits in narrow channels or hard-to-reach areas are effectively dissolved.

Yes, because Comprex® works purely mechanically and does not require aggressive chemicals, the method is particularly gentle on materials. It is suitable for stainless steel, copper, aluminum and many other materials used in heat exchangers. Even plates for special applications (e.g. with enamel and graphite coating) can be cleaned with Comprex®.

The duration depends on the size, structure and degree of soiling of the heat exchanger. As a rule, systems can be cleaned within a few hours – significantly faster and more efficiently than with conventional flushing or chemical processes.

After cleaning, the heat transfer performance increases measurably, the energy requirement decreases and the operational reliability increases. Regular or preventive cleaning prevents new deposits, extends the service life of the heat exchanger and reduces downtime and maintenance costs in the long term.
