Industry Spotlight: Hot Water Pressure Washer

Industrial pressure washers use hot water and are powered by oil or gas to provide a quick cleaning solution for businesses that require a more robust cleaning option. Substances such as oil, dirt, and grime may be difficult to remove or time-consuming to clean using traditional methods. To improve cleaning performance, Wayne Combustion Systems provides the powered burner that is used in many of the top-performing hot water pressure washers on the market.

Types of Pressure Washers

There are many different types of pressure washers on the market that are powered by different methods including electric, gas, and diesel. While all three methods of powering the pressure washer can be utilized by cold or hot pressure washers, hot water pressure washers will require a burner solution. People tend to be more familiar with cold water pressure washers, as these are the types typically sold at hardware stores for residential or home use. Hot water pressure washers are typically used in commercial or industrial applications where improved cleaning performance is required.

Comparing Residential and Commercial/Industrial Pressure Washers

Commercial and industrial pressure washers are typically used in manufacturing settings to clean things like machinery and floors that have experienced a buildup of oil, fats or dirt over time. The ability to have on-demand, high pressure, hot water to clean these surfaces helps reduce cleaning time as compared to a residential cold water pressure washer.

Hot water pressure washers are able to clean faster than cold water because the hot water quickly loosens and dissolves dirt, oils, and fats. Additionally, the hot water dries faster than cold water, enabling the cleaned surfaces to be used more quickly. Cleaning with hot water can help reduce the presence of germs while limiting or removing the need for disinfectants. Finally, by using hot water to clean more effectively, lower water pressure can be used to better protect sensitive surfaces or equipment.

Despite the advantages of a hot water pressure washer, cold water units typically make more sense for a residential application where speed is not as critical, both from a cleaning perspective and drying time. Additionally, cold water units are smaller, easier to move and lower cost than hot water pressure washers.

Working Directly with Clients

Wayne Combustion Systems has decades of experience working with hot water pressure washer customers. This includes a more recent customer that was having difficulty getting clean combustion from the pressure washer when using the Wayne Combustion burner solution. After discussing the issue with the customer, their experts decided to have them ship the pressure washer that was having issues to the Wayne Combustion’s facility, so they could work with the machine in their lab. After receiving the unit and reviewing the specifications compared to the burner capabilities, they began adjusting the burner set-up to improve the performance of the family of pressure washers.

After making some adjustments to the pressure washer, their lab technicians were not only able to clean up the combustion but improve the overall performance of the pressure washer. Wayne Combustion then shipped the unit back to the customer for their own inspection. As a result of the customer’s satisfaction, they have been buying burners set up with this specification from Wayne Combustion ever since.
