Singapore, 16-October 2017 - EQOBRUSH automatic tube cleaning system for Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger and (Chiller) Condensers was developed to address the development of deposits and other contamination at the microscopic level that transpire during the normal process of operation. Each tube is swept in two directions at pre-programmable intervals without interrupting operations. The microscopic contaminants will leave the system through a blow-down from the basin sump in the cooling tower. The Eqobrush automatic heat exchanger tube cleaning design can be incorporated in the original plant installation or as a retrospective fit. Thus the requirement for plant shutdown, chemical cleaning and physical cleaning is significantly minimized.

The system offers substantial savings on energy consumption in addition to other related costs such as process interruption or shut downs, chemical and physical cleaning as well as reduced water consumption. Fouling and scaling in cooling systems is one of the reasons of massive damages in capacity loss, maintenance, energy consumption, cleaning and the equipment’s lifespan. With Eqobrush, a return of investment in less than a year is guaranteed, therefore allowing for significant savings. It is ideal for retrofitting current systems and allows a no-fouling approach for new heat exchanger designs.

Eqobrush has a simple principle of operation and for that reason, is a relatively low system investment level. The formation of fouling and scaling is avoided by high frequency automatic tube cleaning of heat exchanger or condenser tubes. Brushes are inserted into each heat exchanger tube where they regularly travel up and down, powered by the reversed water flow through the flow reversing valve. They system eliminates any sedimentation before it hardens and keeps the tubes in top condition allowing for maximum efficiency in equipment performance at all times.

The Eqobrush automatic heat exchanger cleaning system offers the following effective benefits as compared with the other well-known processes:

[b]Energy saving[/b]- Increasing fouling and scaling in the condenser or heat exchanger tubes disturbs the heat transfer efficiency. As the level of contamination increases, more energy is necessary to prolong the efficacy of the thermal transfer process.

[b]Minimization of scheduled and unscheduled down-times as well as maintenance costs[/b] - Periodical maintenance of chillers is eliminated by the system resulting in reduced cost of labor, cost of chemicals, cost of cleaning equipment and human exposure to corrosive chemicals.

[b]Reduced water consumption[/b] - Eqobrush allows a higher level of salt concentration in the cooling tower, therefore blow-down volumes and suppletion of water volumes are reduced.

[b]Capacity[/b] - Optimal cooling performance ensures equipment can run at maximum capacity. Sub-optimal cooling leads to underperformance.
