A heated pressure washer, also known as a heated power washer, is a convenient and useful tool to perform restoration and maintenance cleaning interventions in industrial plants, commercial premises, car washes, and even in some parts of a home, such as balconies, courtyards, swimming pools, and garages. A hot water power washer can effortlessly remove accumulated and encrusted dirt, ensuring deep cleaning even of difficult surfaces.
Both hot and cold pressure washers are widely used in domestic and commercial premises. However, hot water pressure cleaners are usually more efficient because they combine the flow and pressure of water to high temperatures that remove impurities better and faster. In addition, using a hot pressure washer is justified in winter, when dirt is mixed with snow and covered by a layer of ice.
A hot power washer offers numerous advantages, as it ensures quick and efficient cleaning even in the presence of substances that are difficult to remove, like oil, grease, and mud. At the same time, using a heated power washer is an environment-friendly choice as it works with low energy consumption and a reduced use of detergents.
The operation of a hot water power washer is based on the rather simple and intuitive mechanism of high-pressure cleaning. These devices use a high-pressure water jet produced by a special pump connected to a water inlet equipped with a filter that blocks any impurities and residues to avoid damaging the machine or compromising its performance.
Hot water pressure cleaners also feature a built-in heater that heats the water to high temperatures and creates steam. Many professional heated pressure washers also have a thermostat that allows them to be set to a required temperature during operation and several security systems.
This particular model of hot power washer uses a diesel burner to heat water. Cold water passes through a coil inside a boiler, where the fuel is burned to heat the water. In gas-powered hot water pressure washers, fuel supply and ignition occur automatically when the user pulls the trigger.
Due to the presence of a boiler and a fuel tank, these hot water pressure cleaners are much bigger and cannot be used in homes or garages. They can be used indoors in large commercial and industrial spaces, but in such cases, the heated power washer must be equipped with a duct to remove hot gases or a special steel chimney.
