Klaren International develops self-cleaning heat exchangers for operation up to zero-fouling. In the self-cleaning heat exchangers a fluidized bed of solid particles is used at the tube side where the fouling liquid flows through. The solid particles create a scouring effect on the tube wall surface which removes the developing fouling layer. In this way severe fouling of shell and tube heat exchangers is prevented. Either new or revamped heat exchanger solutions with a self-cleaning configuration can be realized in many types of industries.

Klaren International and Bronswerk Heat Transfer, both based in the Netherlands, have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at selling, designing and worldwide delivery of heat exchangers based on the self-cleaning heat exchanger technology of Klaren International…
In a self-cleaning heat exchanger the tubes remain clean and therefore the heat transfer can kept constant which improves the energy performance:
A self-cleaning heat exchanger needs not to be taken out of production for cleaning, therefore the capacity remains constant and in some cases the production yield can be increased, which enhances the productivity:
When using the self-cleaning heat exchanger technology chemicals are not required as online additives or needed for cleaning purposes. Therefore, there are no hazardous waste streams from cleaning which makes the heat exchanger more sustainable:
Because of a constant heat transfer in the self-cleaning heat exchanger, over dimensioning of the heat transfer surface is not required which results in a more compact design of the heat exchanger:
