Automatic Tube Cleaning System Market by Type (Ball, and Brush), Industry (Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Commercial Space, Hospitality), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World) - Global Forecast to 2023

Automatic tube cleaning systems (ATCS) work round the clock to avoid the formation of deposits in heat exchangers and condenser tubes that are installed in industries such as power plants, refinery, hospitality, and commercial space. The periodic cleaning of condenser tube can be done with the help of ball-type automatic tube cleaning systems or brush-type automatic tube cleaning systems. ATCS are, therefore, used for reducing the frequency of costly maintenance shutdowns while optimizing equipment function and increasing energy savings. Improvement in operational efficiency of HVAC systems due to automatic tube cleaning system installation is one of the key factors driving the market growth.

The automatic tube cleaning system (ATCS) market is estimated to grow from USD 104.6 million in 2018 to USD 130.5 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.53% between 2018 and 2023. The problem of fouling and scaling in the tubes of heat exchangers reduces efficiency and causes energy loss, which is resolved by the installation of ATCS. ATCS are, therefore, used for reducing the frequency of costly maintenance shutdowns while optimizing equipment function and increasing energy savings. The growth of this market is propelled by the significance of improvement in operational efficiency of HVAC systems due to automatic tube cleaning system installation.

Ball type tube cleaning system is expected to dominate the market in the near future as the balls are inexpensive and can be easily changed and ball type tube cleaning system is inline cleaning system hence the cleaning can be done without interrupting the operation.

The market for the power generation industry is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Power plants have to deal with an increasingly harsh environment; hence, maintaining the performance of condenser tubes that have an enormous impact on the efficiency of power generation plant is the major issue, which is resolved by the installation of ATCS as the power is generated at maximum efficiency at all times.

The market in APAC is expected to hold the largest share by 2023. The region has a high potential for automatic tube cleaning systems. The growing need for energy saving and improving operational efficiency in refineries and commercial spaces drives the market for automatic tube cleaning systems in APAC. The growing electricity demand backed by rebounded growth in the economy is expected to establish more power plants, which, in turn, is expected to propel the demand for automatic tube cleaning systems in the power generation industry in the next few years.

One of the key factors restraining the growth of the automatic tube cleaning system market is the design-related faults/limitation in some automatic tube cleaning systems . A few automatic tube cleaning systems have design faults/limitations. Sometimes, the heated water leaving the condenser mixes with water re-entering the cold water system, thereby reducing the efficiency of the chiller. Also, the additional energy is needed for heat transfer. Further, after the cleaning process, balls are collected in a ball trap, which includes a strainer or screen, allowing water to flow continuously but preventing balls from escaping downstream. Mechanically actuated clamshell-like screens were used in early designs of ball traps, which are used today as well. However, these designs are sometimes prone to mechanical failure leading to ball loss and decreased condenser efficiency.
