Automatic Brush Type Cleaning System

The WSA Brush type ATCS has ideal applications on chillers, auxiliary coolers and heat exchangers and often are found in the following:

 
  1. Comfort Cooling Facilities
  2. Cogeneration Plants
  3. Power Plants
  4. District Heating and Cooling Plants
  5. Petrochemical Plants
  6. Refineries

This type of ATCS can be applied to any shell and tube type condenser or heat exchanger. However, the Brush type ATCS can be applied to systems with process fluid as well as water tubeside. The typical system has the following components:

  1. One four-way flow diverter.
  2. One control panel.
  3. One lot of Brush and Basket sets.

"home" baskets.

brush_b

The flow diverter in the reverse flow position. Brushes are carried through the tubes, cleaning as they pass through the tubes. The brushes are caught by the "temporary" catch baskets at the opposite ends of the tubes and held there for a brief period.

brush_c

The flow diverter is brought back to the normal flow position. This carries the brushes back through the tubes to their "home" or park positions where they wait until the next cleaning cycle is initiated.

 

 

The four-way flow diverter is installed between the tubeside piping to and from the unit. A specifically selected brush is inserted into each tube, and catch baskets are semi-permanently installed at both ends of each of the tubes. Every basket is fitted with an easily insertable and removable endclip which allows easy access to the tubes for inspection and testing. At predetermined intervals the flow to the unit is automatically reversed by the diverter. The reversal of flow carries the brushes through the tubes where they are stopped and held by the baskets at the opposite ends of the tubes for a brief period until the flow is automatically reversed again to the normal direction. With each flow reversal the brushes gently clean the interior surfaces of the tubes. Because this is done no less than every eight hours, even hardenable deposits are yet in a soft state and are easily removed.
