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

Product detailed description

Boiler systems in commercial and industrial buildings often accumulate scale deposits over time, reducing efficiency and increasing energy consumption. Installers and service technicians regularly perform descaling to maintain system performance. The IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15% is a professional solution for removing scale from heat exchangers in various materials. It is commonly used in central heating systems, industrial boilers, and heat pump installations where thermal efficiency is critical.

Proper descaling requires a solution that is strong enough to dissolve scale but also compatible with the materials used in the heat exchanger. The IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15% is designed for use in MEDI, steel, and other materials. The product must be diluted according to the instructions on the label, and the pH level must be monitored continuously during the process using a pH meter.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Before applying the IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15%, the system must be isolated and drained. The solution is typically introduced via a dosing pump or manually using a mixing tank. The heat exchanger should be flushed with water before and after the cleaning process to remove any residual deposits. The connection sizes and thread types depend on the system being serviced. A common mistake is failing to check the pH level continuously during the process, which can lead to over- or under-cleaning and potential damage to the heat exchanger.

Compatibility and accessories

IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15% is compatible with heat exchangers made of MEDI, steel, and other materials. It should be used in conjunction with a pH meter for continuous monitoring during the cleaning process. Additional equipment such as dosing pumps, mixing tanks, and protective gear may be required for safe and effective application. No related products are specified in the brief.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15% operates by dissolving mineral deposits such as calcium and magnesium scale from the surfaces of heat exchangers. The solution is formulated to react quickly with scale while minimising the risk of corrosion to the underlying materials. The effectiveness of the cleaner depends on the material composition of the heat exchanger and the type of scale present. The integration of the cleaning process into the system design should account for access points for solution injection and drainage, as well as the availability of monitoring equipment such as pH meters.

Service and operation

After the cleaning process, the system should be flushed thoroughly with water to remove any residual cleaner. The heat exchanger should be inspected for signs of corrosion or damage. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief. Regular descaling is recommended to maintain system efficiency and prolong the service life of the heat exchanger.

Frequently asked questions

Can IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15% be used on heat exchangers made of MEDI?
Yes, the product is specifically formulated for use on MEDI heat exchangers. It is also suitable for steel and other materials.

What is the correct dilution ratio for IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15%?
The dilution ratio depends on the specific system and the type of scale present. The instructions on the product label should be followed for accurate dilution.

Is it necessary to monitor the pH level during the cleaning process?
Yes, the pH level must be monitored continuously using a pH meter to ensure effective cleaning and prevent damage to the heat exchanger.

Can IVAR Boiler Cleaner 10-15% be used for both descaling and degreasing?
Some formulations of IVAR Boiler Cleaner are designed for both descaling and degreasing, but the 10-15% formulation is primarily for descaling. Check the product label for specific application details.
