HydroFLOW `C` Series Flyer

Cooling Tower Site: Ki Mei Hospital, Taiwan Ki Mei Hospital is a prestigious hospital in Taiwan. Water hardness above 150ppm. HydroFLOW installed June 2002. Permanent magnet type water conditioners were used in some hospitals in Taiwan before, without success. Result: The condenser was operated at its full efficiency after HydroFLOW was installed. Blow down at the cooling tower was carried out once a month in the winter season and once a week in the summer. Chemical dosage was totally eliminated. The hospital authority was so pleased with Hydro-FLOW‘s per-formance, that t h e y r e c o m -mended Hydro-FLOW to other hospitals in Tai-wan. Plated Heat Exchanger Site: Shanxi Coal Building is an office and hotel complex. Three-plated heat exchangers connected in series supplying hot water to the complex. Water hardness - 200-250ppm. Before HydroFLOW was installed, traces of scale were seen on two-plated heat exchangers. Routine monthly clean-ing was needed to maintain the heat exchanger’s efficiency and to provide enough hot water supply for the complex. Result: One C-100 was installed on Oct. 2002. On Jan 2003 the customer reported that the plated heat exchangers did not need cleaning. All traces of scale on the two plated heat ex-changers disappeared. Paper Pulp Industry Site: Phoenix Paper Mill Factory, Nanning, China. Every two weeks, production at the factory had to be stopped for 1 day for cleaning due to hard scale formation at different parts of the production line. A Chinese made electronic descaler was used previously, and proved to be a total failure. HydroFLOW installed April 2001. Result: Five months after installation, there was no need to stop the production because of scale. The fac-tory estimated that it saved $85,000 on cleaning and work stoppage. HydroFLOW models provide complete flexibility for the effective treatment of hard scale in water systems of every type and size, with both industrial and domestic units. HydroFLOW generates a powerful conditioning effect over long distances of pipe networks without water having to flow past the signal generator. Before After Buddhist Tze Chi General Hospital (Taiwan) Hydropath In 1992 British Gas, along with the inventor, de-veloped and funded new western technology to treat scale. Within the first two years British Gas, along with the inventor, installed 4000 units.

Ltd. (Thailand) 6) Steel Factory in Shangdong (China) Solution for Biofouling a Power Station Site: Da Lin Power Station, Taiwan. Seawater was used as a coolant in the heat exchanger. Scaling was not a big problem. The problem was biofouling. Stud-ies show that a layer of 250 microns thick micro foul-ing can reduce heat transfer efficiency by up to 25%. Micro fouling also reduces water flow and increases corrosion. At Da Lin Power Station, each exchanger operated for two months, then it took three days or more for cleaning. Result: November 2003, HydroFLOW installed. After two months, the heat exchanger was opened for inspection. Biofouling was eliminated. Cleaning was done by spraying water and took one hour. Heat Exchanger on Production Line Site: Salaya Industrial Co. Ltd. (Thailand) There were 10 injection machines in the Salaya plastic fac-tory. Water hardness in the area was 380ppm and chemicals were used to prevent scaling. The cool-ing tower and heat ex-changer had to be cleaned bi–weekly. A Hydro-FLOW C-60 was installed in June 2002. Result: Water hardness in the system was monitored during blow down at the cooling tower. Water sof-tener chemicals were elimi-nated. One month after installation, old scale in brown sediment form was found in the cooling tower. It took only 10 minutes to clean the dust in the cooling tower every month. There was no hard scale within the heat exchanger and no more overheating occurred among the injection machines. Furnace Cover in the Steel Factory Site: Jinan Steel Factory, China. The steel furnace cover, shown in picture A, has 160 pipes at 3.8mm diameter inside the cover. Temperature at the furnace is at 18000. Water passed through these pipes to re-duce the heat. When hard water was used, pipes be-came blocked with scale. Production had to be stopped and the blocked pipes had to be by-passed. It was a routine practice to stop production every week to by-pass the blocked pipes. It was estimated that it cost more than $6,000 for each interruption in pro-duction. In addition, a new cover had to be installed every 6 months. Water hardness - 320-380ppm. Result: There were three production lines in the fac-tory and one HydroFLOW C-160 was installed for each line. After 6 months of installation, two produc-tion lines never had to be stopped because of scale blockage. The third line was only stopped twice dur-ing the same period.
