Abstract
There is disclosed a cleaning device for a heat exchanger which safely and effectively cleans the heat exchanger and which can sufficiently obtain a deodorizing effect and a sterilization effect. The cleaning device for the heat exchanger includes an electrolysis unit for treating dew condensation water of the heat exchanger by an electrochemical technique, a supply unit for supplying electrolytic water produced by the treatment performed by this electrolysis unit to an outer surface of the heat exchanger, and an control unit for controlling the electrolysis unit and the supply unit, and the control unit allows the electrolysis unit to electrolytically treat the dew condensation water of the heat exchanger and produce the electrolytic water, and allows the supply unit to supply the produced electrolytic water to the outer surface of the heat exchanger.
