Blind Spots of Power Loss

Aren't the major power consumption sources "refrigerators and cooling towers" being overlooked?

Our company is working on solving power loss caused by scale in refrigeration units and cooling towers. In the case of a 300RT refrigeration unit, approximately 1.2 million yen (20%) of the annual electricity cost of about 6 million yen is wasted due to "scale-related inefficiencies." As long as water comes into contact with air, scale will inevitably form, leading to reduced thermal conductivity in pipes and heat exchangers, resulting in power loss. Furthermore, traditional chemical treatments face challenges such as wastewater regulations, treatment costs, and risks to human health. The costs of chemicals, cleaning, water, and equipment repairs add up, resulting in a total cost that is more impactful than expected. 【Scale Thickness and Increase in Power Consumption】 ■0.3mm: Heat exchange efficiency decreases by about 21%, approximately 10% loss ■0.6mm: Heat exchange efficiency decreases by about 34%, approximately 20% loss ■1.2mm: Heat exchange efficiency decreases by about 56%, approximately 42% loss *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
