Default Hey Ol Thom Tubestack cleaning help


"Joe" wrote
Hey Ol Thom I'm reconditioning some heat exchangers and someone
suggested soaking the tubestack in muratic acid to clean them
perfectly, they are all copper and solder and stainless on a oil heat
exchanger. Is that the way to go?



I can google better than Tom. I wonder if he can google at all on msmtv? Anyway here's
a link. It says using acid isn't a good idea. It says use sodium hydroxide instead...

Cheers,
Ellen
