Hudson has been the leader in chiller decontamination services for nearly three decades and we have raised the bar considerably in decontamination services utilizing our fast, thorough processes to remove contaminants that would otherwise be left behind by other methods. In fact, our unique and proprietary ZugiBeast® equipment performs up to 10 times faster than anything else in the industry for both online and offline services.
Moisture Reduction
ISSUE
Moisture reductions can be performed on wet systems that are not completely saturated with water. Depending on the current level of moisture, your refrigerant may require moisture reduction.
HUDSON SOLUTION
- On-site moisture reduction can be performed using our unique and proprietary ZugiBeast®
- Reduces chiller downtime
- Frees your technicians for other profitable work, thereby increasing your service revenues
- Salvages the maximum amount of refrigerant, saving on the cost of replacement refrigerant
System Dehydration
ISSUE
Moisture has fully entered your system, requiring a dehydration. Our process can reduce the presence of residual contaminants, which can be left in the system when using traditional methods such as vacuum pumps and air-drying.
HUDSON SOLUTION
- Equipment and knowledge to cut weeks off the dehydration process
- Reduces chiller downtime
- Rapidly dehydrates air-cooled units
- Frees your technicians for other profitable work
- Reduce residual contaminants
- Minimizes the chance of rust or corrosion
- Salvages the maximum amount of refrigerant
Rust or Particulate Reduction
ISSUE
With so many ways for moisture to enter a system, rust and related particulate contamination has always been a problem for chiller and refrigeration systems. Tubing with rust buildup can degrade chillers performance so much that it must be shut down.
HUDSON SOLUTION
- Reduces rust and other particulates from tube surfaces,
- In some cases, may eliminate the time and expense of re-tubing
- Regains lost system capacity
- Restores heat transfer efficiency
Chemical Decontamination
ISSUE
Chemicals, acids, and other contaminants in your refrigerant ultimately affect efficiency, can lead to downtime, and possible catastrophic failure. Contaminated refrigerants cause a variety of issues that may range from decreased cooling performance and increased energy use, to significantly reducing the operating life of the equipment, and even equipment failures.
HUDSON SOLUTION
- Restores system efficiency
- Effectively reduces chemical contaminants
- Salvages the maximum refrigerant, saving on the cost of replacement refrigerant
- Avoids lengthy downtime and repairs normally associated with this problem
Hermetic Motor Burnout
ISSUE
Hermetic motor burnout is one of the most time consuming and expensive repairs chiller owners face. If the contaminants are not thoroughly removed, a costly secondary burnout becomes more likely.
HUDSON SOLUTION
- Decontaminates centrifugal screw or reciprocating chillers in hours not days
- Reduces all contaminants the first time
- Reduces the need for cleanup kits, extra filter cores and suction dryers
- Reduces chance of a second premature burnout
Excess Oil Reduction
ISSUE
Over time, oil can build up in your chiller. This causes your chiller capacity to decline, degrading your energy efficiency. As more oil contaminates the refrigerant, the more efficiency is lost, and the more money is spent on energy. A decrease in capacity increases the risk of a potential breakdown.
HUDSON SOLUTION
- Restores lost chiller capacity and energy efficiency
- Minimizes or eliminate downtime
- Targets all refrigerant and system contaminants including acids, oil, moisture, and particulates
