AIR COOLER CLEANER


DESCRIPTION

AIR COOLER CLEANER is a concentrated liquid solution of aromatic hydrocarbons, powerful surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and strong emulsifying agents designed to attack, penetrate and remove completely mineral oils, grease, soot and other carbonaceous deposits from air coolers and turbochargers in two-stroke and four-stroke marine diesel engines.

CHARACTERISTICS

-Efficiently removes oil, grease and carbon deposits from marine engines air coolers and turbochargers.
-It can safely be used on all metals and metal alloys.
-Acts quickly and thoroughly.
-It prevents the ignition of oil, sludge and soot accumulation.
-It is non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-volatile.
-It is water-soluble and when dissolved forms a white-milky emulsion.
-It can safely be used on the engine's components without causing any damages.
-Protects from corrosion after it comes in contact with the metal surfaces is applied on.
-It has no known effect on rubber and plastic compounds.
-It may be combined with a specific range of other products.
-It is cost effective, easy to apply and use.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

AIR COOLER CLEANER is an organic solvent-based liquid solution consisting of surface-active agents, a blend of aromatic hydrocarbons and powerful emulsifying agents.
Appearance / Color: Clear, colorless liquid.
Specific gravity: 0.80/15°
Solubility: Appreciable
Flash point: > 65°C
Odor: Aromatic solvent
PACKAGING

AIR COOLER CLEANER is available in 20 litre and 210 litre steel drums.

APPLICATION AND USE

A. Dosage
The quantity of AIR COOLER CLEANER to be used is proportional to the degree of accumulation, the available downtime and the surface area to be cleaned. In any case, when desired, A.C.C. may be used undiluted and in quantities feasible to accomplish complete removal of the deposits when the accumulation is heavy, where as in cases of light deposition A.C.C. may be used diluted in solutions with water or diesel oil appropriate to accomplish the desired cleaning.
Note, that the advantage of using undiluted A.C.C. or diluted with diesel oil, is that the solution may be reused for future cleaning for other engine parts and generally for oil removal. This is not feasible when the A.C.C. is diluted with water.

B. Cleaning Procedure
The application of A.C.C. can be done by circulation, soaking immersion and/or injection.
Circulation is a method mainly used when dismantling of the cooler is not possible. Here, the air cooler is connected to a buffer tank with inflow and outflow piping,
where the A.C.C. is circulated through for 4-6 hours using a pump. The solution may be heated at a temperature up to 30°C so that we may ease the cleaning procedure and accomplish better results. This will significantly reduce the cleaning time while it will provide maximum results.
Soaking immersion is a method used for the dismantled air cooler, which is immersed in a bath filled with undiluted A.C.C. In the mean
