Frequently Asked Questions About ATCS

ATCS is retrofitted to the existing water piping. We only need access to the condenser inlet and outlet water boxes. No internal tube sheet modification is required.

Standard range is 12-30 mm inner diameter. Custom balls and collectors are available up to 45 mm.

Most installations recover 10-30% of cooling energy lost to fouling. The exact figure depends on fouling rate, chiller type and operating hours.

A typical skid installation is completed in one day. Piping and electrical tie-in may add a day depending on site conditions.

Very little: periodic ball top-up, strainer inspection and a yearly PLC check. The controller alerts you when balls need replenishing.

Yes. We provide Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and BACnet interfaces as standard.

Yes. We match ball material and hardness to the tube metallurgy to avoid abrasion or corrosion.

Yes. We export ATCS units, spare balls and components to Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions from Shenzhen.

Fill in the form on our Contact page with your condenser model, tube size, flow rate and application. We reply within 24 hours.

Most plants recover the investment in 12 to 24 months through 10-30% cooling-energy savings. Exact payback depends on operating hours, electricity price and fouling rate. We deliver a tailored ROI estimate from your chiller model and water quality.

ATCS removes fouling continuously and physically – no chemicals, no operator labor, no dosing-system upkeep. Chemical dosing fights biofouling but adds OPEX and discharge-compliance load; manual brushing is intermittent and labor-intensive. ATCS cuts both OPEX and chemical use.

Yes. We match ball material and collector design to the water chemistry – seawater (corrosion-resistant), brackish and fresh cooling-tower circuits are all supported. Share your TDS and chloride level so we can size correctly.

Oversized sponge-rubber balls in hardness grades matched to the tube metallurgy (copper, titanium, stainless, carbon steel). One ball circulates roughly 1 to 3 months before top-up; the controller alerts you when replenishment is due. Spare balls are low-cost and shipped worldwide.

ATCS primarily removes soft particulate and biofilm/slime fouling by continuous wiping. It does not replace a water-treatment program for hard mineral scaling, but keeps tubes clean so chemical dosing can be reduced. We recommend running ATCS alongside your existing water treatment.

Standard shell-and-tube condensers for power, HVAC and process chillers with round tubes 12-30 mm ID (up to 45 mm custom). Plate and finned exchangers are not suitable. We confirm fit from your equipment datasheet.

Yes. We supply hydraulic sizing, P&ID, 3D layout, installation drawings and remote or on-site commissioning. A typical skid ships pre-piped; site tie-in takes 1 to 2 days.

The skid and controller carry a 24-month warranty; balls and strainers are consumables. We keep spare parts in Shenzhen and ship worldwide, with remote troubleshooting and a local service-partner network across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
