Surface condensers are critical components in thermal power plants, responsible for condensing exhaust steam from turbines to improve efficiency and support the water-steam cycle. Over time, these systems will accumulate fouling from minerals, biological growth and macrofouling, especially inside the condenser tubes. This fouling will reduce heat transfer performance, increase back pressure on turbines, and decrease overall plant efficiency. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure reliable operation, maximize energy output, and extend equipment lifespan.
Goodway Benelux provides high-speed tube cleaning systems for removing soft to mediumhard deposits found inside shell and tube heat exchangers. Often used for surface condensers at power generation plants, or large heatpumps with more than 1000 tubes.
