HydroFLOW® Solutions for Heat Exchangers: Clean Surfaces, Heat Efficiency, and Lasting Performance
Treats Limescale & Scaling Deposits
Limescale buildup on heat exchanger surfaces reduces heat transfer efficiency, forcing systems to consume more energy. HydroFLOW® treats scale formation by keeping minerals in suspension, ensuring optimal thermal performance.
Treats scaling on heat exchanger plates and tubes
Maintains high heat transfer efficiency
Reduces the need for costly chemical descaling treatments
Extends the lifespan of heat exchanger components
Minimises Biofilm & Bacterial Growth
Heat exchangers operating in water-cooled systems are susceptible to biofilm buildup, which can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of bacterial contamination. HydroFLOW® inhibits biofilm formation, keeping heat exchangers clean and free from microbial growth.
Reduces biofilm accumulation on heat exchanger surfaces
Minimises bacterial growth and contamination risks
Improves overall water quality and system hygiene
Lowers the need for chemical biocides
Reduces Internal Corrosion & Protects Equipment
Corrosion is a major issue in heat exchangers, leading to costly repairs and premature equipment failure. HydroFLOW® mitigates corrosion by reducing biofilm formation and controlling the accumulation of corrosive deposits.
