Customer opinion


„[…] vielen Dank für die gute Arbeit […]“ sowie „[…] am Dienstag wurde […] durch die Firma Hammann mit dem Comprex® Spülverfahren gereinigt.


Links auf dem Bild sieht man den Zustand vor Reinigung (nur wenige warme, durchströmte Rohre, viele Rohre kalt und verstopft, schlechte Wärmeabfuhr über den Luftkühler, erhöhter Druckverlust).

On the right you can see the condition after cleaning. The majority of the pipes have been flushed free, allowing them to contribute to cooling again.

For the relatively low cleaning effort, the result seems to be good. […].”
