Improve Energy Efficiency; Reduce Maintenance Expense
Now large facilities like hospitals and universities can increase the energy efficiency of central air conditioning systems and cooling towers with CQM. Our innovative technology combines our automatic tube cleaning system (ATCS) with our scale removal system (SRS). This keeps chiller tubes continuously clean, while eliminating the need for water treatment chemical use.
Your organization will see optimized cooling efficiency, reduced energy and water consumption, reduced environmental pollution discharges and improved plant health and safety.
CQM Can Combat the “Fouling Factor” on Chiller Efficiency
In HVAC applications, fouling of the chiller condenser tubes has substantial impact on the power consumption of the compressor. It’s not uncommon to find chillers that appear to be in good working order operating at a fouling factor of 0.0025 hr-ft2-F/Btu or higher — causing compressor power consumption to increase by 25% or more.

Benefits
- Improved Efficiency: Reduce comfort cooling energy costs by up to 25%. Eliminate scaling and biofilm condenser fouling to continuously operate chiller condenser at maximum efficiency. Reduce cooling tower bleed water by up to 80%.
- Rapid Return on Investment: Typical simple payback period of less than 2 years on equipment. Equipment life of 15-20 years often yields internal rates of return (IRR) in excess of 50%.
- Reduced Maintenance Expense: Drastically reduce or eliminate costly and time-consuming offline condenser cleaning costs. Eliminate expensive cooling water treatment chemicals.
- Sustainability: Reduce energy consumption, water usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Eliminate cooling tower water treatment chemicals. Eliminate cooling tower water treatment chemicals, which means no hazardous chemicals to contain or dispose.
