Boiler Cleaner - 10-15%; 10kg GEL.BOILER CLEANER P.Z.

Product detailed description

Boiler systems in commercial and industrial buildings often accumulate scale deposits over time, particularly in heat exchangers. These deposits reduce heat transfer efficiency and can lead to system failures if not regularly maintained. Installers and service technicians working in heating and plumbing systems need a reliable solution to dissolve and remove these deposits safely without damaging the materials of the heat exchanger. IVAR 113.070.50 is a professional-grade boiler cleaner designed for use in such environments, ensuring effective cleaning while protecting the integrity of the system components.

This product is commonly used in systems where the heat exchanger is made of copper, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, zinc, or light alloys. The cleaner is mixed with water to form a solution that is circulated through the system to dissolve scale deposits. The process requires careful monitoring of the pH level to ensure optimal cleaning and prevent corrosion. After cleaning, a neutralising solution is used to remove residual acids and stabilise the system before it is put back into operation.

Technical parameters

Code	113.070.50
Brand	IVAR

The product is supplied as a powder and must be mixed with water according to the instructions on the label. The concentration of the solution is 10-15%, and the pH level must be continuously monitored during the cleaning process using a pH meter. The neutralising solution has a pH of 13. These parameters are essential for determining the correct mixing ratios and ensuring the solution is effective without causing damage to the system materials.

Installation and connection

The installation process involves preparing the cleaning solution by mixing the powder with water in a suitable container. The solution is then pumped into the system and circulated through the heat exchanger. It is important to ensure that all connections are secure and that the system is isolated from the rest of the building’s heating network to prevent contamination. Common installation mistakes include incorrect mixing ratios, failure to monitor pH levels, and not allowing sufficient time for the solution to work. Technicians should also check that the system is properly drained after cleaning to prevent residual solution from remaining in the heat exchanger.

Compatibility and accessories

IVAR 113.070.50 is compatible with copper, steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, zinc, and light alloys. It is specifically formulated with a corrosion inhibitor and reduced gas development to protect these materials during the cleaning process. For complete cleaning, the neutralising solution GEL.BOILER CLEANER N should also be used after the acidic cleaning solution. No additional accessories are required, but a pH meter is necessary for monitoring the solution during the process.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of IVAR 113.070.50 is based on the chemical dissolution of scale deposits using an acidic solution. The powder is mixed with water to form a solution that is circulated through the heat exchanger. The solution reacts with the scale deposits, breaking them down into soluble compounds that can be flushed out of the system. The product includes a corrosion inhibitor to protect the heat exchanger materials from damage during the cleaning process. The integration of this product into the system requires careful planning to ensure that the cleaning solution can be introduced and removed without disrupting the system’s operation. The efficiency of the cleaning process depends on the correct concentration of the solution, the duration of the cleaning cycle, and the pH level maintained during the process.

Service and operation

After the cleaning process, the system must be thoroughly rinsed with water to remove any residual cleaning solution. A neutralising solution should then be introduced to stabilise the system and prevent residual acidity from causing corrosion. The pH level of the neutralising solution is 13, and it should be circulated through the system before it is returned to normal operation. Regular maintenance intervals depend on the frequency of use and the water quality in the area. Technicians should also inspect the heat exchanger for signs of wear or damage after each cleaning cycle.

Frequently asked questions
