HydroBall Automatic Tube Cleaning System

The Non-Powered HydroBall System is a patented Automatic Tube Cleaning System used in commercial and industrial buildings to keep inner tube surfaces free from fouling and scaling deposits. It optimises the usage of resources to reduce energy and water wastage and prolong the life of equipment. 

  • “Non-Powered” system, which does not require prime movers such as pumps, compressors or divertors, hence less maintenance.
  • “Dual Loop” design preventing the mingling of hot & cold water streams and the re-entering of hot water into the condenser, preserving chiller efficiency.
  • “Water Resilient” mechanism – operates without water discharge, minimising water wastage.  Water resilience features such as water recycling, reuse and circularity.

Product Benefits

Optimize Energy Consumption

By cleaning the inner surfaces of tubes, the condenser’s heat transfer capacity remains at peak efficiency, significantly reducing energy loss.

Prevent Condenser Tube Corrosion

Condenser tubes, devoid of scale and fouling deposits, are free from substances that may contribute to microbiological-induced corrosion

Improve Compressor Lifespan

The innovative design of the HydroBall System optimises resource usage to prevent the condenser from accumulating deposits and corrosion, reducing wear and tear and extending equipment lifespan.

Key Criteria for Selecting an Automatic Tube Cleaning System in Industrial Applications

“We outperform other cleaning methods”

Component Wear Consideration

Evaluate the impact of moving parts on system components like pumps, diverters, and compressors to ensure durability and longevity.

Minimal Head Loss

Prioritise systems with negligible head loss to avoid overburdening cooling water pumps and maintaining optimal efficiency.

Water Separation

Ensure the system prevents warm water from re-entering the condenser.

Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Select materials that withstand corrosion, ensuring the system’s longevity and resilience against harsh industrial conditions.

Easy Consumable Replacement

Opt for systems with straightforward and swift procedures for replacing the cleaning medium within condenser tubes, facilitating efficient maintenance.

Water Resilience

Choose a system that facilitates water recycling, reuse, and circularity during normal operation to minimise water wastage. Ensure that it preserves chemically treated cooling water, which supports biodiversity and helps to reduce the impacts of climate change.

High-Pressure Compatibility

Ensure the selected automatic tube cleaning system is designed to withstand the operating pressure of the cooling water system, guaranteeing reliable performance under varying conditions.

System Connectivity

Invest in systems that feature connection capabilities to link up with Building Management Systems (BMS) and mobile phones for convenient troubleshooting and monitoring of analytics.

What Makes Hydroball Different

Hydroball ATC System is a simple mechanism yet with superior technology that has been proven effective and offers a solution to costly problems such as scaling and fouling. This advanced technology also provides environmental benefits by reducing water & energy wastage and costly downtime.

HydroBall System

  • Water Resilient mechanism: No water wastage as no water discharge. Water resilience such as water recycling, reuse & circularity
  • Dual Loop design: Preventing the mingling of hot & cold water streams and the re-entering of hot water into the condenser; reduced energy usage
  • Non-Powered system: No prime movers, fewer moving parts require less maintenance. No downtime required to keep condenser clean as running softballs through tubes on pre-set time cycles continuously
