Paratherm EC System Cleaner

Description

Paratherm EC System Cleaner is a REACH compliant additive cleaner for use in large heat transfer systems. It is a proprietary cleaning agent that has been specifically formulated to suspend & dissolve sludge deposits that would otherwise reduce flow & efficiency in larger continuously operated systems. This unique additive formula cleans the system while it runs, eliminating the need for any flushing fluids or chemical cleaners and is designed to minimise downtime.

Paratherm EC System Cleaner’s REACH compliant formulation restores system performance and has a unique formulation which is compatible with all mineral oil fluids.

Operating Range for Paratherm EC System Cleaner

Usage Instructions

1. Install a 60-mesh screen in the Y-strainer to catch any large lumps that break loose.

2. Drain the equivalent amount of fluid from the system before adding EC cleaner. Paratherm suggest the treat rate should be between 3-12% of system volume, depending on the degree of fouling. System cleaning should be preceded by analysis of the fluid to confirm a suitable treatment rate.

3. Add Paratherm EC System Cleaner slowly, using a positive displacement transfer pump and hoses of appropriate temperature range. Either pump the cleaner fluid directly into the system (near to the pump suction, if possible) or pump into the expansion tank and drain into the system.

4. Allow cleaner to circulate until all loops are at operating temperature then run the system normally. Minimum suggested circulating time is 3 weeks, maximum time is 1 year.

5. Clean the Y-strainer screen as necessary throughout the duration of the cleaning cycle.

6. To drain both cleaner and fluid, shut off the heater but allow the pump to circulate until system temperature is cool enough to handle (< 200°F). Do not allow the system to cool with the pump turned off as this will permit particles to settle out and contaminate the new fluid.

7. Drain the system with the pump still running and continue to run it until it begins to cavitate, or the low-pressure switch shuts it off.

8. Continue draining as quickly as possible. Any delay will allow sludge to settle out in the piping where it will contaminate the new fluid.

9. Refill system with Paratherm Heat Transfer Fluid and restart the system normally.

10. One week after startup, send sample to fluid supplier for testing.
