Shengshi Datang Teaches You How to Maintain the Thermal Conductivity of Graphite Condensers

When the thermal conductivity of a graphite condenser declines, maintenance should be performed promptly. If severe scaling occurs, appropriate chemical cleaning methods can be used. For internal crystal blockages, heating and melting can be applied for cleaning, but mechanical equipment should not be used. Cleaning tools such as shovels, laser cutters, soft brushes, compressed air, and high-pressure steam can be employed. In cases of severe scaling or complete blockage, a tube-flushing drill can be utilized.  

For chemical descaling, a chemical analysis of the scaling substances in the graphite condenser must first be conducted to determine the appropriate cleaning solvent. Sulfate and silicate scales are typically treated with alkaline solutions, while carbonate scales are treated with acid solutions. Sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide can be used for tar-like scales. Detergents and cleaning agents can be mixed with water in specific proportions for cleaning. When opting for chemical cleaning, it is essential to consider the use of corrosion inhibitors. After chemical cleaning, rinse with clean water multiple times until the water runs clear.  

In addition to the above methods, a sponge ball automatic cleaning system can also be employed.
