- TU Electric, Dallas, TX (United States)
This report describes the results of a working demonstration of the on-line SIDTEC{trademark} Rocket{trademark} condenser tube cleaning system to improve condenser performance in open-loop cooling systems through the reduction of tube fouling from either biological means or inorganic mineral deposition. Benefits can include: heat rate improvement; avoidance of load limitations due to back pressure concerns; elimination of off-line cleaning; extended tube life; cooling water pump auxiliary load reductions; and elimination of on-line chemical treatments. As a result, significant cost savings have been achieved in comparison to existing methods of maintaining condenser cleanliness.
