    Filter-TypCleaning BallsPR-BW-100 FLOW & INDUSTRIAL Pure Efficiency Cleaning Balls 2 Taprogge 2 Cleaning Balls FLOW & INDUSTRIAL Efficiency in the Shape of a Ball. EFFICIENCY IN THE SHAPE OF A BALL TAPROGGE cleaning balls form the process-technological basis of our tube cleaning systems. To yield the maximum benefit of a TAPROGGE system, it is important to select the adequate cleaning ball and its optimal operational mode. For every tube material, every type of cooling water and debris, as well as the plant-specific hydraulic conditions, place special demands upon the relevant ball. Our integrated service concept IN-TA-S® provides you with the safety always to work with the optimal cleaning ball. IN-TA-S® is based upon our know- how in application technology, gathered by the operation of more than 10,000 TAPROGGE systems. Support IN-TA-S® centres in 10 regions the world over provide you throughout the year with all that is necessary for the right ball selection, its timely availability, and the optimized operation of a tube cleaning system. Special TAPROGGE programmes ensure the professional management of your requirement. The result: transparent evaluation of needs, stockpiling at favourable cost, as well as timely availability of the parts on site. Of course, you may also receive optimization support by remote monitoring and control of your systems from our IN-TA-S® Remote Centre. This is particularly fast and cost-saving. Benefit How much the right ball selection and continued optimization by TAPROGGE experts translates into thermal and financial benefits is shown by the following practical example: For a power station with 300 MW turbine capacity and 6,000 base load hours per year, a turbine efficiency gain of 1 % and more can be reckoned with, which - given an electricity price of 0.03 9 per kWh - results in economies of 540,000 9 per year.

    Technology 1 IN-TA-CT® and IN-TA-S® Technology for the effective solution to micro and macro fouling problems 2 Losses of Efficiency and Availability have one Cause: Fouling. The surface waters used in major cooling water circuits or seawater desalination plants contain substances which, depending on location and type of pre-screening system, can significantly vary in both, quantity and composition. The undesired deposition of these substances in heat exchangers connected downstream and their piping is designated as fouling. According to its appearance and place of deposition, a distinction is made between macro and micro fouling. With IN-TA-CT® TAPROGGE offers you all the modular components necessary for the overall solution to your fouling problems. IN-TA-CT® thus effectively and comprehensively prevents losses of efficiency and availability caused by fouling. To make sure that the benefits created by the IN-TA-CT® modules are permanently preserved, we have established IN-TA-S®, an innovative and very effective service concept that provides all services required for the day-to-day operation of your system - competently and from a single source. IN-TA-CT® and IN-TA-S® by TAPROGGE. 3 4 That's how Macro Fouling damages your System: Macro fouling is the deposition of macro organisms and other large-particulate inorganic fouling on the tube sheets of heat exchangers and their pipes. They cause obstructions of the heat exchanger tubes whereby the water flow is hindered and damages can occur in the inlet area of the tubes (inlet erosion and tube leakage). Outages due to plant shutdowns for the manual elimination of macro fouling and for repairs are the consequences.

    UTILIZATION OF VARIOUS PROJECTILES TO MITIGATE FOULING IN TUBULAR HEAT EXCHANGERS A dissertation accepted by the Faculty of Energy-, Process- and Bio-Engineering of the University of Stuttgart in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences (Dr.-Ing.) by Mohammad Reza Jalalirad, B.Sc., M.Sc. born in Arak, Iran Institute for Thermodynamics and Thermal Engineering University of Stuttgart, Germany Published 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Dr.-Ing. habil. H. Müller-Steinhagen Co-Examiners: Prof. Dr. –Ing. Günter Scheffknecht and Prof. Dr. –Ing. Stephan Scholl Date of Oral Examination: 21st December, 2015 i ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Heat exchangers are the workhorse of most chemical, petrochemical, food processing and power generating processes. Of the many types of heat exchangers, approximately 60% of the market is still dominated by shell and tube heat exchangers. One major problem of heat exchangers and particularly the shell and tube type is directly related to the deposition of unwanted materials on the heat transfer surfaces. Fouling may cause one or more of several major operating problems: i) reduction of heat transfer, ii) under-deposit corrosion, iii) increased pressure loss and iv) flow mal-distribution. There are many different mitigation techniques available in the market to maintain the surface of heat exchangers clean to some extent. Among them are projectiles of various shapes, materials and hardnesses which circulate via a separate loop through the exchanger. The advantages of this method include effective fouling mitigation and stable operating conditions. Having said that, there are nevertheless numerous unanswered questions such as optimum injection interval, minimum required shear force to remove fouling layers, applicability of projectiles at elevated temperatures, minimum required velocity of projectile propulsion, and the criterion for the selection of projectiles for any specific fouling process.

  • Improving Chiller Efficiency Through Automatic Tube Cleaning System Technology
    WP-101 Rev. 0 IMPROVING CHILLER EFFICIENCY THROUGH AUTOMATIC TUBE CLEANING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT In this paper, solutions for improving chiller energy efficiency by reducing fouling of shell and tube heat exchangers are discussed. Sponge-ball type automatic tube cleaning system technology is introduced and discussed as a solution for improving chiller energy efficiency and tube cleaning system operating principles are presented. Multiple case studies are provided demonstrating the positive impacts of tube cleaning system technology implementation. INTRODUCTION Shell and tube condensers and heat exchangers are core to a wide range of processes including power generation, oil refining, industrial processing, and HVAC comfort cooling. Unfortunately, this means that “fouling” of these heat exchangers (the accumulation of efficiency-killing deposits) is also pervasive—at extremely high economic and social costs. The expenses associated with fouled heat exchangers and condensers are significant, and include increased power consumption, increased fossil fuel consumption, reduced production, and frequent condenser cleaning costs. Heat exchanger fouling costs have been estimated at 0.25% of the gross domestic product (GDP) of highly industrialized countries in several studies, which, based on estimated U.S. GDP of $15 trillion, translates to fouling-related costs of $37 billion a year. 1 In HVAC applications, fouling of the chiller condenser tubes has substantial impact on the power consumption of the compressor. Even with good water treatment programs, it’s not uncommon to find chillers that appear to be in good working order operating at a fouling factor of 0.0025 hr-ft2-F/Btu or higher — causing compressor power consumption to increase by 25% or more.2 Fouling occurs because cooling water contains minerals, such as calcium and magnesium that precipitate to form deposits on heat transfer surfaces.

  • Heat Exchangers and Piping Systems from Copper Alloys
    Heat Exchangers and Piping Systems from Copper Alloys - Commissioning, Operating and Shutdown by Manfred Jasner, Meinhard Hecht, Wolfgang Beckmann; published by KME; 1998. 1. Introduction Copper alloy tube and pipes, such as Al-brass, 90-10 Cu-Ni and others are widely used in tubular heat exchangers and piping systems. The medium flowing through the tubes is in general seawater, brackish water or fresh water. Under unfavourable conditions chloride-containing water can initiate corrosion on tube and plate material, particularly if the water is polluted or contains solid particles. In such cases suitable counter-measures should be applied. To achieve adequate corrosion resistance the water side of the copper alloy tube requires a protective layer which is formed in clean, oxygen containing seawater after a period of 8 to 12 weeks. Forming and maintaining this protective layer is crucial for optimum life of the tube material and for troublefree operation. Excellent performance is to be expected when the tube quality and design, fabrication and operation of the equipment are in accordance with the engineering standards. It should be pointed out that Al-Brass, 90-10 Cu-Ni and 70-30 Cu-Ni show also good corrosion resistance in hot deaerated seawater and brines existing in Multi Stage Flash -MSF- desalination plants (1). Occasionally failures on tubes are detected shortly after they entered service. Investigations of these early failures have revealed that most of them were caused by improper commissioning and / or improper operating practices. This applies particularly to heat exchanger tubes whilst piping systems show much less susceptibility or none at all.
