Hot water pressure washers spray water at temperatures ranging from 120 - 180 Degrees Fahrenheit. The high-pressure hot water can dissolve dirt, grease, and grime more effectively than cold water alone. The heat helps to break down and loosen stubborn residues, making stains easier to remove with pressure. The combination of hot water and high pressure can speed up cleaning tasks significantly compared to using cold water alone.
An operator of a hot water machine would like to use as few materials as possible, saving time and money. In addition, less chemicals used reduces potential hazards posed by sometimes caustic chemicals. Further, the reduced amount of cleaning solution being used can have less impact on the environment. Hot water alone can be highly effective at cutting through oils, greases, and other hydrocarbon-based substances.
Hot water can help kill bacteria, viruses, contaminants and other microorganisms present on surfaces, providing a sanitizing effect. This is particularly important in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are a high priority, such as in food processing facilities, healthcare facilities, or public areas.
Hot water pressure washers use a burner and igniter to heat the water as it passes through the coils. The burner is usually fueled by kerosene or diesel fuel and can burn very hot, very quickly. The water travels rapidly from the pump through the burner and out through the nozzle. There are several options as to which nozzle an operator would use, but typically they are the ones that emit the higher pressure. A good deal of hot water pressure washing is done on a flat, hard surface like concrete. The operator will often choose to use a surface cleaner, which improves consistency and allows them to move faster than spraying with a wand.
Higher pressure nozzles can help create some back flow resistance which can help the burner increase the temperature to get the maximum heat.
