Doosan Skoda Power, Slough, England
Year of installation: 2022-2024
CQM Group’s ATCSs were installed in new DOOSAN SKODA POWER power plants in two sites in Europe: Slough, England and Bandirma, Turkey.
Original efficiency maintained, with expectations met and reliable results
Energetica Trinec, Trinec, Czech Republic
Year of installation: 2004
Problem: Siemens and Skoda condensers dropped in efficiency, in spite of the original cleaning systems.
Solution: In 2004 2 of CQM Group’s ATCSs was installed gradually on inefficient condensers.
Results:
- After a year of examination, Energetica Trinec observed excellent results.
- Energetica Trinec expanded cooperation with CQM Group and installed 6 additional ATCSs, in all power plant condensers.
Zeneng Changxing, Zhejiang Province, China
Year of installation: 2010
Problem: Cooling efficiency was hindered by fouling in condenser tubes, requiring frequent cleaning and shutdowns.
Solution: CQM’s ATCS was installed on a 300 MW coal unit.
Results:
- Required 0.9 grams/kW less coal compared to a competitor’s system.
- No fouling or ball loss over 18 months.
- Three additional units installed due to superior performance.
AEM Torino, Italy
Year of installation: 2005
Problem: Fouling in the steam condenser tubes led to decreased efficiency.
Solution: Installation of a 72” ATCS to maintain optimal heat transfer.
Results:
- Consistent cleaning with zero ball losses.
- Higher turbine availability and reduced steam consumption.
- Positive feedback from IREN Energia Moncalieri.
Plaza Hotel Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada
Year of installation: 2011
Problem: Two identical chillers were compared; one with ATCS and one without.
Solution: ATCS installed on Chiller 1 to maintain performance during hot summer months.
Results:
- 11.8% energy savings over 61 days.
- Chiller 1 outperformed Chiller 2, demonstrating the effectiveness of ATCS.
Park Lane Hotel, Hong Kong
Year of installation: 2003
Challenge: Fouling in the condenser tubes reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption.
Solution: Installation of ATCS on one of the hotel’s chillers.
Results:
- Reduced manual cleaning frequency.
- Improved refrigerant temperature closer to condenser water leaving temperature.
- Lower operating costs and energy savings.
Haizhu Square Subway Station, Guangzhou, China
Year of installation: 2004
Challenge: Clogging of condensers by silt from the Zhujiang River.
Solution: CQM’s Automatic Heat Exchangers Cleaning System installed.
Results:
- Improved heat exchange rate.
- 17.21% energy savings.
- ROI achieved in less than three years.
