Abstract
Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHEs) are prone to clogging and difficult to clean using conventional methods. This study investigates high-intensity ultrasound as an effective alternative, applying Langevin transducers to a real PCHE. Ultrasonic vibrations enhanced deposit removal without the need for disassembly. The method is more sustainable, reduces downtime and costs, and offers on-site cleaning.
