The Automatic Tube Cleaning System (ATCS) provides energy-saving, on-line condenser tube cleaning for water-cooled chiller applications. The system periodically injects sponge balls into the condenser ...

The BLG condenser unit contains new bare tube condenser coils in its refrigeration system, replacing regular fin-type condenser coils. Bare tube condenser coils use bare tubes to perform the same task ...

Maintaining clean condenser tubes is of vital importance for reliable, efficient power generation. Two major problems result from fouled tubes: (1) Loss of heat transfer, and (2) Under-deposit ...

facilities. Maintaining tube cleanliness is vital to maximize heat transfer. Table 1 illustrates the thermal conductivities of two common heat exchanger tube materials and also three common waterside ...

When considering the damaging and costly effects resulting from condenser air inleakage and water leakage, we must also consider methods to avoid these conditions and maintain condenser reliability.
