Can you clean a water chiller without shutting it down?

You should never clean a water chiller while it’s running. Cleaning solutions or debris can flow into pumps or sensors and cause serious damage. Always shut down the unit, drain the water circuit, and isolate electrical power before starting any cleaning work. This step keeps both the equipment and the operator safe and ensures proper chiller maintenance results.

What is the best cleaning agent for scale buildup in a water chiller?

The best cleaning agent for scale in a water chiller is a mild descaler formulated for stainless steel or copper systems. Avoid harsh acids like hydrochloric acid, which can corrode internal parts. Many technicians prefer citric acid or specialized industrial chiller cleaners that remove calcium and rust while protecting seals and gaskets. Always flush the system with clean water after using any chemical.

How long does it take to clean an industrial water chiller system?

A complete cleaning process for an industrial water chiller usually takes between 2 and 4 hours. The time depends on system size, fouling level, and water quality. Smaller lab chillers may take less than two hours, while large central chillers with cooling towers can take most of a workday. Regular chiller maintenance can help reduce future cleaning time and extend the equipment’s lifespan.

Does cleaning a water chiller affect refrigerant performance?

Cleaning the water chiller does not directly affect the refrigerant circuit, but it can improve overall cooling efficiency. Removing scale and sludge from heat exchangers allows better heat transfer, so the refrigerant cycle works more effectively. A clean chiller reduces compressor load, stabilizes temperature control, and lowers energy consumption during daily operation.
