How does the Boiling Hot Water Technology® work?
What started as a technical challenge grew into a revolutionary cleaning technique. Waterkracht further developed and patented this method. By now, all our high-pressure trailers are equipped with this revolutionary technique as standard. The Boiling Hot Water Technique® has since proved its worth in numerous applications: from façade cleaning to graffiti removal.
The power of the Boiling Hot Water Technique® lies in the combination of high temperature and energy transfer, also known as the Thermoshock effect. When water of 99 to 102°C is sprayed at high pressure onto a surface, the boiling water droplets cause a direct heat impact. This has two main effects:
- For high-pressure cleaning: Stubborn dirt such as graffiti, oil, chewing gum and atmospheric pollution loosen at lightning speed. Unlike steam, where a lot of heat is lost, boiling hot water has 28 times higher heat transfer. As a result, it works faster and more effectively without damaging the surface.
- For weed control: Although the primary focus of this technique is cleaning, we also deploy it effectively against weeds. Heat breaks down the proteins in the plant cells, structurally depleting the plant without damaging the soil.
All the advantages at a glance
- 100% environmentally friendly - No chemicals or harmful agents, safe for humans, animals and the environment.
- More effective than steam or hot water - 28 times higher heat transfer ensures thorough cleaning and in-depth weed control.
- Sustainable and cost-saving - Up to 80% less water consumption and 50-80% less fuel consumption.
- Suitable for various applications - From graffiti and façade cleaning to industrial cleaning and structural weed control.
- Safe for substrates - No damage to delicate surfaces such as natural stone or listed buildings.
