1. External cleaning (car cleaning method):
Use a water gun with relatively low pressure, maintain an angle perpendicular to the plane of the intercooler, and flush from top to bottom and left to right. Avoid flushing diagonally to prevent damage to the intercooler.
Alkaline water can also be used for cleaning. Soak the intercooler in alkaline solution and then use a brush to remove oil stains.
2. Internal cleaning and inspection (dismantling and cleaning method):
Heat an aqueous solution containing 2% caustic soda to 80 degrees Celsius, inject it into the intercooler, and wait for half an hour to check for any water leakage. If there is water leakage, perform welding repair; If there is no leakage, gently shake and discharge the sewage, then inject pure alkali solution again for cleaning until it is clean.
For external dirt, soak it in an alkaline solution of the same concentration and then clean it with a brush.
3. Chemical cleaning:
Heat and soak the intercooler with alkaline chemical solvents, then neutralize it with acidic substances, and finally rinse it with clean water. This method is suitable for handling intercoolers contaminated with oil.
4. Precautions:
During the cleaning process, high-pressure water guns or direct flushing with water should be avoided to prevent the intercooler from breaking.
Avoid using overly strong cleaning agents to prevent damage to the intercooler.
Regular maintenance and proper cleaning methods help ensure smooth operation of the intercooler, improve engine performance, and extend service life.
