System Cures Scaling Blues For New Orleans Hotel Chillers
New Orleans is a hot bed for cool jazz, hot and spicy food, and old-fashioned, Cajun-style Southern hospitality that is second to none. So when one conjures up images of the "Crescent City," hard water and chiller tube scaling may be the last things that come to mind.
However, condenser tube scale buildup on centrifugal chillers at the New Orleans Airport Hilton was creating major operating problems ranging from undesirable compressor surge to rising wastewater and chemical treatment expenses. The Hilton's facility opted to cure their scale blues, enhance chiller efficiency, and lower operating and maintenance costs with the ED2000, a totally non-invasive, electronic anti-tube fouling system from York International (York, PA).
