Improve Chiller Efficiency via Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems

Image
You probably know that HVAC systems are often the largest energy consumer in a facility during the cool-down period, often consuming 30-50% or more of the total energy consumption of the building. Additionally, you may know that the US Department of Energy has stated that many chillers are using 30% more energy than they need due to operational disruptions, and may even have taken some of the first steps to optimizing the efficiency of the cooling system: the building envelope. , Use of the building's energy management system, cold water recovery, annual cleaning of the condenser tubes, etc. However, they may not know that there is another method to further increase the efficiency of the chiller in the chilled water unit, a type of continuous chiller pipe cleaning system that is part of a system family of technologies called automatic chiller cleaning systems. Dirty condenser tubes are the main cause of refrigerant loss and are also common in refrigerators with good water treatment...
