Cost Savings with AES Efficiency Experts
No More Dirty Tubes Affecting Condenser Performance
When you have dirty tubes, you are losing money and efficiency. Dirty tubes reduce the heat transfer, which lessens efficient cooling. This results in increased back pressure, which lowers the condenser performance. You’ll end up spending more due to lowered efficiency, watching your costs go up over time, sometimes year after year.
Don’t let dirty tubes be the reason your condenser has a poor performance. With our tube cleaning services, you can see a dramatic change in improvement.
Reducing the Costs of Air Inleakge
How much do you think air inleakage is costing you? Would you believe us if we told you it could be a difference of $616,500?
The average annual cost for one 400 MW unit operating with a 0.5″ Hg of backpressure deviation without identifying and repairing leaks can be $625,000. Yet the average annual inspection cost from AES is only $8,500.
Annual leak detection can dramatically improve the efficiency of your equipment, reducing downtime and lowering costs. We make inspections easy, so you can save money and stop worrying about downtime.
Helium Leak Detection Guarantee
AES never stops improving, whether it’s addressing tube leaks, safety, communication, or team building. All of this comes together to say goodbye to the method of finding a tube leak with shaving cream and luck from the 20th century, and instead, upgrading to helium leak detection and giving you a guarantee.
Helium leak detection technology allows us to quickly locate condenser tube leaks. This allows us to eliminate condensate contamination and improve performance to get your plant operating back to full power.
Peek Behind the Insulation
You may not want to look behind the insulation, but for our crew, it’s the only way to confirm our suspected findings. We work to provide temporary solutions until permanent repairs can be made when we find leaks hiding behind insulation.
Leaks behind insulation can cost you money, staying out of sight for a long length of time without you knowing. Getting behind the insulation and tackling everything improves plant performance for better peace of mind and cost savings.
Preventative Maintenance for Your Condenser Steam Inlet Expansion Joint
Recurring inspections for your condenser steam inlet expansion joint allow plant personnel to conduct trend analyses. This can greatly help you make informed decisions about the condition of the material and is far less costly over time to be proactive.
Only waiting to react to a catastrophic failure vs being proactive with scheduled maintenance can greatly impact costs. Always err on the side of avoiding an unexpected shutdown that could lead to unforeseen economic impacts. Regular maintenance helps prevent those costly shutdowns while giving you critical data about the performance of your condenser steam inlet expansion joint.
