Hot water pressure cleaners are also often referred to as hot & cold pressure cleaners or steam cleaners and sometimes even diesel fired pressure cleaners
Cold water pressure cleaners are machines that deliver cold water at a particular waterflow rate, depending on the pump size, under pressure to clean a surface of any type. Normally, the larger the flowrate of a pump, the better, bigger and more productive the pressure cleaners are, but when you talk about hot water pressure cleaners, different rules are applied.
The hot water pressure cleaner is by far the better machine against a cold water pressure cleaner because the cleaning result and the time taken to clean changes dramatically when using hot water. You cannot compare machines of similar technical specification because there is such a large difference in performance between hot water and cold water cleaning.
The humble hot water pressure cleaner has come a long way since its inception where a user needed heated water applied under pressure in order to clean the project at hand.
The principle of a hot water pressure cleaner these days is that water is pumped and pressurized through a pressure pump then heated before being discharged out of the nozzle as hot water under pressure.
Heat does most of the cleaning as against purely the cleaning power or motion caused by purely the water sprayed under pressure. In regards to hot water machines, the heat along with the pressure provide the strength behind the application of cleaning. This gives hot water pressure cleaners a huge advantage against typical cold pressure cleaners because the heat of the water alone can cut through things like paint, plastics, rubber and other types of materials.
A fairly common question posed by customers looking to purchase a pressure cleaner for a specific job is, "Does hot water make that much of a difference over cold?" One cannot truly appreciate the differences in cleaning results and the speed at which it can be done unless you have used a hot water machine. You could make a similar comparison to a cup of tea for example. Does a hot cup of tea taste any nicer than having a cold cup of tea? Well of course it does. How many people do you know that drink cold tea and enjoy that more than a hot tea?
It is fair to say that this applies to a majority of cleaning applications but is not the case for all particular projects. But, in most cases, hot water machine does present a much greater cleaning result as compared to a cold water machine regardless of the task or the water flowrate or operating pressure.
Would you think of washing your dinner dishes with cold water? Well the same could be said in principle when applied to pressure cleaning in general.
So for large industrial applications that require removing heavy dirt, grease or other materials, hot water pressure cleaners are the clear choice to use.
