Automatic Tube Cleaning
Keeping heat exchangers clean to maximize heat transfer and ensure peak system performance
- Permanent cleaning
- Zero environmental impact
- No chiller downtime
- Suitable for all chillers
- Low system operating cost and maintenance savings
Enable your HVAC system to run at peak efficiency
Over time, chillers suffer from fouling of the heat exchanger surfaces. Efficiency is lost, causing compressors to operate at a higher temperature and pressure which leads to increased energy use and higher operating costs. Just a 1°C increase in condenser temperature can cause a 2% increase in operating costs.
Trane automatic tube cleaning system operates continuously to keep heat exchanger surfaces free from fouling. System capacity and efficiency are maintained at peak levels and energy consumption is minimized.
Adaptable solutions with two choices of technology
Our tube cleaning solutions are hydro-mechanical cleaning systems that suit all tube-in-shell heat exchangers. They are supplied fully programmed, with settings for varied water quality.
• 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
