Soak Method
This method is an effective way of cleaning deposits from components and machine parts. In order to reduce the evaporation of Unitor™ Carbon Remover™ both on the pure product as well as on its emulsions, a skin is formed when exposed to air.

The items for cleaning are submerged into the active solvent. A wire basket can be used for small components. Immersion time will depend upon the nature of the deposits to be removed. Light deposits will be removed in 1 hour, whereas heavily oxidised deposits might need longer time.

The components should be rinsed thoroughly before handling.

Cleaning the Oil Side of Heat Exchangers
The Unitor™ Chemical Cleaning Unit - Product no. 664 737189 - is recommended to be used.

  1. Isolate the oil supply, disconnect the heat exchanger oil inlet and outlet, drain off any remaining oil.
  2. Connect the discharge side of Unitor™ Chemical Cleaning Unit (CCU) to the lower heat exchanger connection and fit the return to the CCU.
  3. Add Unitor™ Carbon Remover™ to the drum, product can be diluted with diesel oil down to 25 % and heat, maintaining the temperature (max 50°C) throughout the cleaning operation. If heating is not available, the cleaning time will need to be extended and a higher product concentration is beneficial.
  4. Circulate for 12 hours. When the cleaning is complete, disconnect the lower heat exchanger connection and drain.
  5. Connect a high pressure fresh water supply to the upper heat exchanger connection. Rinse until water runs clear.
  6. Disconnect, drain and dry.
