Fouled heat exchangers can decrease system effectiveness
dramatically, for instance just 1 mm of scale can result in a 45%
reduction in efficiency. For this reason, all properly maintained heat
exchangers are cleaned regularly. Imagine a system that never stops
cleaning your heat exchanger, Trane can provide you with two choice of
technologies ensuring that your system always operates at peak
efficiency and will save on maintenance costs and downtime.
Features
Two hydro-mechanical cleaning systems:
-
Ball tech system: Specially developed sponge balls are
injected into the chiller condensing water flow to provide
continuous tube cleaning while the chiller is in operation
-
Brush system: In each condenser tube, a brush is driven from
one end of the tube to the other by the water flow to provide
continuous tube cleaning while the chiller is in operation
Benefits
-
Adaptable: Our solutions suit all tube-in-shell heat
exchangers. They are supplied fully programmed,
with settings
for varied water quality. -
Improved operating efficiency: lower energy use
-
Extended chiller life cycle: condenser tube corrosion is
eliminated
-
No chiller downtime: the automatic tube cleaning system
functions while the chiller is operating
-
Low maintenance solutions: The sponge balls and brushes have
a long service life and are the only consumables.
-
Reduced water treatment costs: Water treatment is only
required to prevent scaling of ancillary equipment, leading to cost
savings of up to 50% on chemicals.
-
Zero environmental impact: Trane automatic tube cleaning uses
no chemicals and so creates no waste
or pollution.
