Commercial Tube Brushing for Chillers in Anaheim

What chiller tube brushing delivers for Anaheim facilities

Cooling towers and Southern California water conditions can load chiller tubes with silt, algae, biofilm, and mineral scale. Even a thin layer of fouling raises thermal resistance, driving up compressor work and destabilizing head pressure. Commercial tube brushing mechanically removes deposits inside condenser and evaporator tubes so your water‑cooled chillers transfer heat efficiently and operate within design approach temperatures.

For property managers, plant engineers, and facility directors across Anaheim and Orange County, routine tube cleaning is one of the highest‑ROI maintenance tasks: it helps recover capacity during peak days, reduces energy spend, and lowers the risk of nuisance trips and downtime.

Our commercial tube brushing process

• Assessment and planning: Review operating logs, approach temps, ΔP, and water treatment data. Align work windows with your loads to minimize impact.
• Safety first (LOTO): Isolate, drain, and verify zero energy. Protect surrounding equipment, finishes, and occupants.
• Tube mapping and protection: Inspect tube sheets, record tube count/diameter/material, install covers and catchments to control debris.
• Brush selection: Match brush type and diameter to tube metallurgy and fouling (nylon, wire, abrasive) to clean effectively without damaging tubes.
• Mechanical brushing: Drive brushes through each tube to dislodge scale, mud, and biofilm, followed by controlled flushing and debris removal.
• Rinse and inspection: Rinse until clear; optional borescope checks and tube tally to confirm complete coverage.
• Gaskets and reassembly: Replace gaskets and seals as needed. AC PRO‑compatible materials ensure reliable fit and availability.
• Performance verification: On restart, document stabilized approach temperatures, differential pressures, and kW/ton trends.

Benefits you can expect

• Lower energy consumption by restoring heat transfer and trimming kW/ton.
• Recovered capacity for peak Anaheim heat days and higher part‑load stability.
• Reduced nuisance trips and longer equipment life due to lower compressor stress.
• Cleaner hydronic circuits that support better, healthier indoor air performance downstream.
• Improved compliance with best practices and simpler maintenance planning.
