Online brush cleaning condenser tubes improves chiller's efficiency

Chillers are considered the largest users of electricity at commercial and industrial facilities such as hospitals, shopping mall, airports, office buildings, data center, automobile, and other industrial facilities. Reducing fouling and scaling, reducing shut downs for cleaning, reducing KW/ton consumption; increasing heat transfer efficiency remains the facility engineer’s and manager’s goal.

Shut down, and expensive maintenance staff time is required for periodic manual cleaning of chiller’s condenser. One the cleaned condenser returns to service, the fouling and scaling starts to build up again, the condenser’s efficiency keeps lowering and the KW/ton consumption keeps increasing until the next shut down.

With Eqobrush onning system you can achieve:

Reduction in Energy Consumption

Electrical energy consumption is reduced by up to 30% with the EQOBRUSH System. The heat exchanger tubes are always optimally clean.

Reduction in Maintenance Costs:

Semi-annual maintenance of chillers is eliminated by the EQOBRUSH. Besides the costs of labor, chemicals, and cleaning equipment, human exposure to corrosive chemicals is eliminated.

Increase of Production Capacity:

If the heat exchanger performance is controlling the production output of your process, you benefit 24 hours a day, 365 days a year of your maximum production capacity.

Reduction in Chemicals:

The amount of chemicals added to prevent scaling can often be reduced because the EQOBRUSH System keeps precipitates from forming on tube walls. Cleaning chemicals such as acids are not required anymore.

Saving Water:

The EQOBRUSH System normally allows a higher cycle of concentration of the cooling water. This reduces the blow down volume and implies savings in water and sewer costs

Reduction of Equipment Downtime:

Conventional techniques for cleaning make it necessary to take equipment out of service and manually clean the tubes with dangerous chemicals, or to manually brush each tube. Both techniques are labor intensive, costly, and result in expensive down time of equipment.
