The Vulcan Online Condenser Cleaning System is an automatic tube cleaning system that uses Vulcan condenser cleaning sponge rubber balls to prevent any micro fouling building up on the inner walls of the heat exchanger tube. VOCCSYS is completely automatic and runs parallel to the heat exchanger such that the cleaning takes place while the heat exchanger in in operation.

​

During operation, Vulcan Condenser Cleaning Balls (VCCB), slightly larger than the tube ID, are injected on the inlet side of the heat exchanger from the Ball Collector. These Cleaning balls are introduced in a manner such that they form a random distribution. The velocity of the water compresses the balls as they enter a tube. The system velocity propels the balls through the tubes, thus wiping the inner walls to remove impurities, silt, and filming, and prevent buildup. Upon discharge, the cleaning balls are captured and retained in the condenser discharge line in a Ball Trap. The cleaning balls are pumped back to the Ball Collector for rinsing and re-circulation. VOCCSYS utilizes an HMI touch screen control interface, allowing for easy monitoring. Individual or multiple systems can be controlled from a common panel.
