A leading vacuum furnace manufacturer recently announced the development of an improved process to clean heat exchanger fins that become clogged with debris and dirt. A clogged heat exchanger greatly impedes quench gas flow, resulting in reduced work cooling rates.
Solar Atmospheres of Souderton, Pennsylvania, states that its special process involves a 12-hour soak, water jets recirculating forced water, pressure washing, and nitrogen gas drying to result in an “as new” condition.
