Rust & Residue
Rust formation within
chiller and refrigeration system shells and
piping or the accumulation of various forms of
residue on refrigeration systems may have no
immediate impact on the operation or
efficiency of a system. Unfortunately, this
condition will not remain static for long. In
due course, the rust or residue will begin to
flake off and circulate with the refrigerant
throughout the system. The negative effect of
this condition on a system's functionality is
both serious and certain. The existence of
particulates circulating throughout the
refrigerant-side of an operating chiller or
refrigeration system will undoubtedly lead to
myriad problems including reduced performance,
chiller degradation and/or complete shutdown
and failure.

If the rust or residue condition is detected
prior to the release of
particulate into the refrigerant, effective
preventive measures are available. Hudson's
engineering and chemistry based
decontamination process will thoroughly remove
rust or accumulated residue from shells and
piping before it becomes liberated in the
refrigerant-side of an operating system.

If the condition has progressed to a stage
where particulate has been released into the
refrigerant, the problem may be more serious
than you can imagine. The consequences may be
dire when the particulate accumulates on tube
surfaces, particularly the enhanced fin tubes,
and other system components. The effect may
ultimately include reduced performance and
capacity, chiller degradation and/or complete
shutdown and failure. Please refer to Hudson's

and Particulate Decontamination Solution.
