    Pure Efficiency

    Cleaning Balls

    Efficiency in the Shape of a Ball.

    TAPROGGE cleaning balls form the process-technological


    basis of our tube cleaning systems. To yield the maximum
    benefit of a TAPROGGE system, it is important to select the
    adequate cleaning ball and its optimal operational mode. For
    every tube material, every type of cooling water and debris,
    as well as the plant-specific hydraulic conditions, place special
    demands upon the relevant ball. Our integrated service concept
    IN-TA-S provides you with the safety always to work with
    the optimal cleaning ball. IN-TA-S is based upon our knowhow in application technology, gathered by the operation of
    more than 10,000 TAPROGGE systems.

    Support

    IN-TA-S centres in 10 regions the world over provide you throughout the year
    with all that is necessary for the right ball selection, its timely availability, and the
    optimized operation of a tube cleaning system.
    Special TAPROGGE programmes ensure the professional management of your
    requirement. The result: transparent evaluation of needs, stockpiling at favourable
    cost, as well as timely availability of the parts on site.
    Of course, you may also receive optimization support by remote monitoring and
    control of your systems from our IN-TA-S Remote Centre. This is particularly fast
    and cost-saving.

    Benefit

    How much the right ball selection and continued optimization by TAPROGGE
    experts translates into thermal and financial benefits is shown by the following
    practical example:
    For a power station with 300 MW turbine capacity and 6,000 base load hours
    per year, a turbine efficiency gain of 1 % and more can be reckoned with, which given an electricity price of 0.03 9 per kWh - results in economies of 540,000 9
    per year. If, for reasons of faulty ball selection or insufficient ball optimization, the
    efficiency gain is only 0.9 %, the annual economy is only 486,000 9 - which is
    by 54,000 9 less than in case of optimal recommendation. Conclusion:
    the optimal ball selection magnifies the benefit to millions (based on the total lifetime
    of the power station).

    Interesting Facts around the Cleaning Ball.

    For the determination of the type of cleaning ball and the mode of operation,
    TAPROGGE uses special in-house software that reflects the application experience
    of meanwhile more than 5,000 TAPROGGE cleaning systems. Essential parameters
    of calculation are: tube material, tube geometry, water velocity and temperature, water
    biology and chemistry, as well as hydraulic and design data of the installed system.

    Ball Selection and


    Optimization

    If necessary, those calculating instruments are complemented by the special,


    additional IN-TA-S modules:
    diagnostics on site (condenser inspection and ball distribution tests)
    diagnostics in the TAPROGGE Technological Centre (tube examination)
    consultancy in application engineering (with solutions to special questions of
    fouling, scaling, and corrosion), and performance of client-specific schemes
    (abrasive ball cleaning, ferrous sulfate dosing, monitoring of cooling tube
    conditions).
    TAPROGGEs standard range of products includes balls in diameters from 14 - 44
    mm. Approx. 6 million cleaning balls are permanently ready for delivery. Other
    sizes can be supplied on request.

    Available Range of
    Cleaning Balls

    The different tube materials tend to typical appearances of fouling, scaling and
    corrosion. The ball types respond to those appearances by their recipes and coatings. The following assignments are usually made:

    Ball Types and Tube


    Material

    for CuNi and brass tubes:


    - P150 (standard), S160 respectively. To optimize the ball distribution:
    addition of 50 % P130
    - L160 and PL130 for prolongation of ball lifetime
    - P150 / PL150 with rough tubes
    for tubes of stainless steel and titanium:
    - P150, G100 resp.
    - short-term application of T160 / T300
    for seawater desalination plants:
    - Heat-resistant balls S200 and S220
    for air conditioning plants:
    - irrespective of tube material: S110

    Nominal Ball Diameter


    The nominal ball diameter depends on the inner tube diameter and the cooling
    water velocity within the tubes. The nominal ball diameter exceeds the inner tube
    diameter by 1 to 3 mm.

    Ball Hardness Degree


    The degree of hardness of the cleaning ball is determined in dependence on the
    water velocity in the tube, the gap width of the strainer section, and the screen angle.

    Cleaning Frequency
    Proven successful with stainless steel and titanium tubes has an average cleaning
    frequency of 12 cleaning balls per hour and tube. Detailed, basic recommendations for the specific ball types are given on the following pages.

    Interesting Facts around the Cleaning Ball.

    Ball Distribution

    The distribution of the cleaning balls and thus the cleaning frequency of the individual
    cooling tubes are influenced by the ball distribution in the cooling water inlet pipe,
    the flow conditions in the waterboxes and especially by the properties of the
    TAPROGGE balls adapted to those parameters. Through mixtures of different ball
    types with adjusted sinking velocity the distribution is optimized even further.

    Ball Lifetime

    Essential factors of influence for the ball life are: tube roughness, degree of fouling
    of the tubes, as well as type of fouling. That is why the degree of wear of a cleaning
    ball fluctuates between a few days and approx. 4 weeks, depending on tube condition.

    Cleaning frequency:
    see items 6 and 7
    Due to its larger surface contact the T type corundum ball cleans the tubes faster
    and more evenly than the R type ball. On the other hand, the application of the
    R ball is advisable with harder deposits because of its higher contact pressure. As
    to its application with stainless steel and titanium tubes, this is safe with regard to
    material wear and tube corrosion. The microscopically visible scoring resulting
    thereof is even smaller than the scoring that originates from the production of the
    tubes. For copper-alloy tubes, the aspects of cover film formation in the tubes are
    to be considered.
