Yes, we understand that this topic may seem a somewhat bizarre and even a little stretched, but it is nonetheless true. No matter what kind of real estate it is, commercial, residential or even industrial, sustainability is the buzzword in the modern-day times, and is in fact, one of the most-sought-after factors that helps tenants choose an office space. Some business owners are retailers, even consider it an unavoidable aspect, while purchasing or renting a property. And why not? After all, every business, regardless of its size wants to accomplish its social responsibility goals, and wants an added feather in its cap. Then again, who in their right mind wouldn’t want a decrease in the operating costs? Ultimately, it will only increase the profit margins!

On the flip side, there is an incredible dearth of eco-friendly or green buildings in the market, as only as little as 2% of the office buildings offer the features which a sustainable work-space is expected to offer.

One significant step towards making malls, as eco-friendly as possible, is the installation of chillers in place of air conditioners. For the uninitiated – Chillers are nothing but an extended version of a split-unit air conditioner, which works on the principle of absorption of heat through an evaporator, and releasing of the same via a condenser. The only difference here is that a chiller condenser is cooled by water that flows to the cooling tower.

Below listed are some reasons why energy efficient chillers will help attract more tenants in a mall.

Low Operating Cost

With the chillers being installed in a mall, one can easily expect a decrease in utility bills by as much as 21%. Since every business and retail shop aims to churn as much profit as possible, it will get attracted to the prospect of low operating costs.

Saves Electricity

In the present-day world, every unit of electricity saved is electricity earned. Not only does this have huge monetary benefits, but also proves to be extremely valuable when it comes to contributing towards a greener earth. With chillers coming into play, a store in the mall that would otherwise be using 1,000 units of electricity, will end up using just 7,900 units, ensuring astounding benefits of chillers.

Tenants Prefer Greener Energy

Ask any real estate agent who works closely with prospective tenants, and it will be clear that more and more tenants are now preferring energy-efficient offices and malls as against conventional ones. While tenants may not be ready to pay higher rent, but the fact remains that the tenants will readily choose such a space and the mall will get occupied at an exceptionally fast pace!

Efficient Building Management, No More a Hassle!

To own a building is one thing, to manage the expenses for its maintenance is another. In today’s times, chillers prove to be the most expensive when it comes to energy consumption. In fact, they usually account for as much as 50% of the electricity bills. However, it is believed that this consumption can be lowered significantly simply by increasing their efficiency. More than that later. For now, let us understand some basics.

How do Chillers Function?

Chillers are nothing but an extended version of a spilled unit air conditioner, which works on the principle of absorption of heat through an evaporator and releasing of the same via a condenser. The only difference here is that a chiller condenser is cooled by water, that flows to the cooling tower.

The Good

Chillers are highly preferred over conventional air-conditioners, since they help achieve the goal of maintaining the desired temperature in all types of spaces, at a significantly low cost.

The Bad

Unlike regular air-conditioners, water-cooled air-conditioning systems are susceptible to build-up caused due to various pollutants and mineral deposits. This has a negative impact on both, their performance as well as their energy efficiency. As a matter of fact, when working inefficiently, the chillers can consume a whopping 20-40% more electricity per cooling unit.

The Solution

Conventionally, service contractors used mechanical or chemical cleaning techniques to clear the cleaning system. This, however, resulted in undue interruptions in the functioning of the cooling system, which is rather impractical. Moreover, this process only ensures efficient functioning of the cooling system for a few days, after which the new build-up starts forcing it to decline gradually.

The contemporary and more efficient solution to this problem is CET Enviro On-Line Cleaning System. Working on the principle of consistent cleaning, this system ensures that the condenser tubes are cleaned day-in and day-out. The cleaning sponge balls and the technique play a pivotal role in the cleaning process. As a result of this continual cleaning process, the energy consumption per cooling unit remains as low as possible.

What makes the On-Line Cleaning System so promising is the fact, that it ensures that the chillers remain energy efficient all throughout the year, without any glitch.

Overall, this system can help achieve an increased energy efficiency of up to 30%, thus offering great value for your money! And on the upside, it offers you an unparalleled opportunity to do your bit for the conservation of the environment and its resources!

Chiller Tube Cleaning Methods

Cleaning of chiller tube is paramount so as to achieve the peak performance. It requires the use of the best cleaning equipment that can clean it completely and can make it free from the contaminants. Throughout many years, we have employed plenty of chiller tube cleaning methods, some become successful and some have left the race. It is important to opt for the potential tube cleaning method so as to get the best results. Automatic chiller cleaning is the key to keep the heat exchangers at peak efficiency. The following article is the discussion of several tube cleaning methods along with their advantages.

Rod and Brush Method

Perhaps it is the oldest chiller tube cleaning methods. This usually involves the length of the rod along with nylon or wire brush larger than the tube’s inner diameter. Basically, the tube is flushed with water from a hose and then brush is manually pushed through the tubes. This method is very cheap and requires little training or expertise.

Tube cleaning Guns

This is the latest method to clean the chiller tubes. It makes the use of compressed air or water or high-pressure water alone to propel the cleaning projectile through the tubes to eliminate deposits. With its fast speed, the tubes are cleaned within little or no time. Like the previous method, it also requires little expertise or training.

Chemical cleaning

Cleaning of the chiller tubes with the help of chemicals is yet another method to remove the contaminants from the surface of the tube and thus increases its efficiency. It employs the use of an acid solution which is circulated through the tube bundle so as to break down or soften the scale deposits in the tube. Though this method is quite costly but can clean the tubes completely.

Rotary Tube Cleaners

This chiller tube cleaning machine uses either an electric or air motor in order to rotate the flexible shaft. It is encased in the plastic casing and transport the water to the cleaning tool. These cleaning tools are capable of cleaning all sorts of deposits including hard scales. This tube cleaning method is affordable and quite simple to perform. Apart from this, it requires only one operator and thereby reduces the cost of the laborers. These rotary tube cleaners range from simple to more advanced models with variable speed and bi-directional rotation. Also, it is the most effective method of cleaning new chillers that use internally enhanced tubes.
