High-Adhesion, Low-Impact Cleaning for Performance Recovery

Air-cooled condensers (ACCs) play a vital role in heat rejection systems, especially in water-scarce regions. However, their exposed structure makes them highly susceptible to contamination from dust, pollen, industrial pollutants, and airborne oils. These contaminants accumulate on the finned surfaces, reducing heat transfer efficiency and increasing fan load and energy consumption.

Arudra offers specialized Foam Cleaning Services designed to deep-clean air-cooled condensers without damaging delicate aluminum fins. This method involves the application of a proprietary foam solution engineered to penetrate deep into fin packs, emulsify contaminants, and rinse clean without high-pressure impact.

of Experience

Arudra Excellence

Arudra’s foam cleaning process is specially developed for Fin Fan Coolers and Air-Cooled Condensers, targeting hard-to-reach external surfaces. Their proprietary foam-based solvents penetrate deeply, breaking down oil, dust, and heavy debris with minimal impact on delicate components.

 

Unlike high-pressure jetting that can damage fragile fins, Arudra’s low-pressure method gently lifts and removes contaminants, ensuring thorough cleaning without compaction. This approach not only preserves the equipment but also significantly enhances overall cooling efficiency.

 
 
 
 

High Retention Foam

Clings to surfaces longer, ensuring deeper reaction with fouling and better cleaning effectiveness.

Eco-Friendly Chemicals

Biodegradable, plant-safe formulations that clean effectively without harming the environment.

Improved Heat Transfer

Lowers approach temperature and enhances condenser vacuum for better thermal performance.

Enhanced Efficiency Output

Reduces fan power usage and boosts overall plant load factor and operational output.
Why Foam Cleaning?
Unlike conventional water jetting, which may bend or erode fin structures, foam cleaning is designed for surface safety and deep chemical action.

Non-Invasive Cleaning

No risk of fin damage from pressure or abrasion
