Improving Chiller Efficiency with the Help of Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems

There are likely higher chances that you are aware of the fact that the HVAC systems out there are usually the largest energy consumers at any facility during the cooling season. These advanced HVAC systems are responsible for burning around 30 to 40 percent of the overall energy consumption of any building. In addition to this, you must also be aware of the fact that the Department of Energy claims that most of the chiller units are expending over 30 percent or more energy than actually required. This happens due to several operational inefficiencies and various other reasons. Though you might have taken up some individual steps towards optimizing the overall cooling efficiency of the chiller unit –right from sealing the envelope of the building to making use of a proper building energy management system, performing chiller water resets, cleaning the chiller’s condenser tubes frequently, and so more; still you might not be able to bring about relevant energy efficiency. As ...

Chiller Tubes and Its Cleaning

Chiller is a big capital investment and is the largest energy user. It is a machine which removes heat from the liquid and that liquid will be then circulated through a heat exchanger to cool the equipment and thereby increases its efficiency. This is a sizeable investment and thus its maintenance is equally essential. Chiller is nothing without chiller tubes which is crucial part of the same. Why chiller tubes are used? A chiller tube is primarily used on chilled water applications. The main job of a chiller tube is transferring the heat so as to make the chiller works. Without this component, the chiller will be not able to operate and is pretty useless. Chiller tubes are extremely important and so does its cleaning. The tubes are the main part for cleaning otherwise the air insides the same get contaminated and hence hinders the performance of the chiller and will make it useless after some days. These tubes can be cleaned by using number of machines and couple of them i...
