Formic acid is an effective chemical for removing scale from equipment and surfaces due to its ability to dissolve calcium, magnesium, carbonate, and iron.
Formic acid removes scale by reacting with mineral deposits like calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate to form soluble compounds, which then dissolve and detach from the surface. For household applications, a weaker formic acid-based descaler, like Cillit Bang Limescale & Shine, can be used to remove limescale from kettles and showerheads. In industrial settings, more concentrated formic acid, sometimes mixed with other acids and corrosion inhibitors, is used to clean evaporators, heat exchangers, and other equipment by dissolving mineral scale and preventing corrosion. 
Dissolution: Formic acid reacts with scale to form a soluble compound that dissolves the scale.
Peeling: The acid solution dissolves the oxide on the metal surface, breaking the bond with the scale.
Air enthalpy: The reaction with scale produces carbon dioxide gas, which can detach scale from heated surfaces. 

Formic acid can be used for household and industrial cleaning, and can remove scale from evaporators, heat exchangers, and other equipment. It can also be used to remove limescale, and is one of the acids used in Cillit Bang Limescale & Shine.
 
Dissolution: Formic acid reacts with scale to form a soluble compound that dissolves the scale.

Chemical experiments on scale samples show that formic acid can effectively remove the scale of the cooler. Through the acid immersion test, it was found that formic acid can effectively remove the scale attached to the plate, and its corrosion effect on the cooler plate is also small.
