The HydroBall System


Non-powered Globally patented Automatic Tube Cleaning System
TM

THE PROBLEM
1) Increasing electricity consumption with Fouling Buildup
Scaling/ fouling begins to take place after 200 - 400 hours from last manual cleaning of condenser tubes, hence the ideal practice is to manually clean the heat exchanger tubes once every 200 hours. However, that is extremely expensive and unproductive.

AWARDS, COMPLIANCE & CERTIFICATION


GLOBAL PATENTS
The HydroBall System has worldwide patent registration. Territories with local patent registration includes United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, UK, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Israel, China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, India, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore.

In addition, manual cleaning poses several inherent challenges: Requires chiller shutdown Labour-intensive , low productivity Oversized brush damages tube Undersized brush not effective in removing fouling Need to ensure tubes are cleaned properly & not missed Accessibility (need scaffoldings) & Security issues

2) Chillers use at least 35% of electricity consumption!

SINGAPORE STANDARD SS553


HydroBall System meets or exceeds SS553 Guidelines (Annex C), including avoidance of high wear-and-tear components like prime movers, negligible head-loss, no hot-and-cold water mixing, use of corrosion-resistant materials, easy replacement of consumables and no wastage of water during operations

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS


HydroBall Technics (SEA) Pte Ltd is ISO 14001 certified for both its commercial and factory premises in Singapore.

CERTIFIED GREEN PRODUCT


HydroBall System is a certified green product Leader (earning the maximum 4-ticks score) under the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC)s Green Building Product Certification Scheme. To be certified as a product Leader, HydroBall System has to demonstrated industry leadership in green manufacturing processes, maximum energy-savings efficacy and lowest cost of use. Under GreenMark 4.0, HydroBall System users can earn extra Green Mark points by virtue of the high marks scored in the certification.

Fouling can be very costly since it directly results in increased electricity consumption, interrupted operations, and increases maintenance costs. Maintenance costs can also be expected to continually rise because of environmental regulations. In Singapore, cleaning costs are in the range of S$1,000 to S$5,000 per heat exchanger per clean.

THE SOLUTION - HydroBall Automatic Tube Cleaning System


HydroBall system is the perfect cost-effective solution that eliminates equipment downtime and optimises energy utilisation of water-cooled heat exchangers (including chillers) by automatically keeping heat exchanger tubes perpetually free from effects of scaling and particulate fouling. This ensures optimal heat exchange efficiency, contributing to prevention of unnecessary energy loss and low total-cost-of-use. 3 primary components: the Ball Station, the Ballcatch and the PLC-GSM Controller. A single 3-way motorized valve controls the flow of water within the system. There is no use of pumps, compressors or diverters, nor any need for discharge of water during operation. There is also a viewing glass at both the Ball Station and Ballcatch to enable visual monitoring of the sponge balls. HydroBall Systems innovative design and comprehensive maintenance program enables it to make the following performance guarantees:

BENEFITS OF HYDROBALL SYSTEM


1) Totally Non-powered TM :
The system relies on the force of the cooling water passing through the heat exchanger and its water supply and water return pipes. It does not require a power source (like pumps and compressors or bulky 4-way converters) to keep the cleaning system in motion. The cleaning balls are circulated through the condenser by kinetic energy in the water caused by pressure difference across the condenser and different sections of the water pipes. Being non-powered also results in less system moving parts and hence less maintenance.

2) No Mixing of Hot and Cold Water within Condenser:


If heated water leaving the condenser mixes with water re-entering the CWS (a design limitation in some automatic tube cleaning systems), it will result in loss of chiller efficiency and additional energy needed to effect heat transfer. HydroBall system is designed with a unique Double-loop to prevent mixing of hot and cold water

3) No Loss of Water
Some automatic tube cleaning systems discharges 30 to 40 liters of chemically treated water to the drainage system as part of normal operations. Not only does this waste water, it also poses a discharge hazard. HydroBall System does not discharge water at all during normal operations

4) Totally Effective Against Particulate Fouling


While most automatic tube cleaning systems focuses on removal of crystallisation fouling (ie. Scaling), the effect of particulate fouling should also be of prime concern, especially in urbanised cities throughout Asia where airborne particles enter into the condenser tubes via the cooling tower. The impact of particulate fouling (on condenser tube fouling factor and hence heat-exchange efficiency) can be felt within hours of ingress, unlike scaling which takes a few hundred hours to form; hence short cleaning intervals are needed. HydroBall Systems specially formulated sponge balls and frequent cleaning cycles (of 30mins interval) are the most effective remedy against particulate fouling Note: Anti-scaling solutions like magnetic devices, chemical treatment or ultrasonic devices etc are totally ineffective against particulate fouling NTU Chiller 2 at N2B5C2 inner tube inspection 25012006 Without Auto Cleaning System NTU Chiller 3 at N2B5C2 inner tube inspection 27012006 With Hydroball System

OTHER INSTALLATIONS

5) Does Not Impact Normal Chiller Operations


Certain automatic tube cleaning systems, when retrofitted into an existing chiller system, causes condenser flow rate to decrease due to its inherent high system head-loss. In contrast, documented studies done independent 3rd parties (reputable ESCO and Institute of Higher Learning) have concluded that HydroBall System does not affect chiller efficiency due to negligible head-loss and non-mixing of hot and cold water within condenser water flow. In particular, HydroBall Systems highly engineered ball catch design contributes negligible head-loss to overall condenser operations.

5) GUARANTEED Performance
Even with the above factors in place, there is still NO guarantee that the installed automatic tube cleaning systems WILL work well as claimed by the manufacturers. Users often experience instances of missing and broken balls, jammed & stuck balls etc. ONLY HydroBall provides a multi-year HydroBall Assurance Program where we guarantee NO missing balls and NO uptrend in CAT readings during the entire period the HydroBall system is in use, amongst many other benefits.
