AUTOMOTIVE AIR COMPRESSOR CLEANING

A Midwest automotive manufacturer was experiencing issues on their Ingersoll-Rand air compressor. After inspection, the main issue was water scale build up within the equipment. The inlet water temperature before the RYDLYME cleaning was 80° and the outlet air temperature was 160°.

140 gallons of RYDLYME was circulated through the system for 3 hours. After a water flush, the air compressor was returned to service. The outlet air temperature was now 110°, dropping an incredible 50° and bringing the temperature differential down to only 30°! The plant personnel were amazed at the amount of temperature drop! With the dramatic improvement in efficiency, the plant was convinced to then use RYDLYME clean other pieces of water operated equipment including their condensers!

CHALLENGE: Water scale was creating cooling issues on an Ingersoll-Rand air compressor at a Midwest automotive manufacturer.
SOLUTION: 140 gallons of RYDLYME was circulated for 3 hours with a water flush after the RYDLYME cleaning was completed.
RESULTS: After the RYDLYME cleaning, the air temperature was dropped from 160° to 110°, dropping an incredible 50° and bringing the temperature differential down to only 30°!
