Limpieza en linea de tubería de chillers de A/C
ATCS-HVAC™ opera automáticamente y en forma continua para limpiar los depósitos y las incrustaciones acumulados en la tubería de los chillers, manteniendo la eficiencia del sistema de aire acondicionado a nivel óptimo. Bolas de goma suaves son recirculadas a intervalos fijos para mantener la tubería limpia.
La acumulación de incrustaciones en la tubería de los condensadores de los chillers repercute en altos costos en la operación y mantenimiento de estos sistemas:
- Incrementa el consumo eléctrico: La acumulación de tan solo 0.3 mm de suciedad incrementa el consumo de electricidad en 10%.
- La limpieza del chiller mediante productos químicos es ineficiente, costosa y su disposición causa daños al medio ambiente.
Ventajas de ATCS-HVAC sobre limpieza manual periódica
- Cost-effective: maximizes chiller efficiency for multiplied savings in operation, manpower and energy – up to 25% savings in the chiller’s annual operation cost.
- Environmentally safe: uses no chemicals, produces no hazardous waste.
- Continual operation: works while the chiller is on.
- Automatic: computer-timed cleaning with no need for intervention.
- Reliable: high-performance parts.
- Efficient: one ATCS-HVAC installation can handle an entire facility.
- Measurable savings: reliably measure savings with installation of the optional Integrated Performance Tracker.
How ATCS Works
CQM’s ATCS is installed on the chiller’s condenser and keeps tubes clean without human intervention. The system periodically injects into the tubes sponge balls that are slightly larger in diameter then the tubes themselves. The natural pressure head pushes the balls through the tube, which is thus rubbed clean. The balls are then trapped in the outlet of the heat exchanger, where they are prepared for the next cleaning cycle.
Typical comercial installations take less than 25 man hours, and requires only 8
hours of process shutdown.
Trapping units are available in a variety of shapes and flow configurations to
accommodate piping routes design and available space for installation.
