Page: 215 | Report Code: SE241009 | Research Suite: Report (PDF) & Market Data (Excel)
Automatic tube cleaning system (ATCS) is an automated
technology which cleans the tubes from the dirt or debris that is deposited due
to operations. It utilizes sponge balls or brushes that enters the tubes,
timely set by the user, and cleans the interior of the tubes.
MARKET
OVERVIEW
The market valuation of the automatic tube cleaning System (ATCS) market was valued at approximately USD 117.0 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 164.9 million in 2034 exhibiting a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period of 2024-2034. Automatic tube cleaning system (ATCS) efficiently cleans the tubes without any downtime in the operations. The market is aligned with diverse sectors, which makes it a sustainable and growing market.
GROWTH
DRIVERS
The rise in demand for energy efficiency is one of the significant drivers of the market, where International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights the rise in the energy consumption in HVAC system globally, leading to growing pressure to improve energy efficiency. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) which is an American professional association seeking to advance heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems design and construction, also puts emphasis on energy efficient cooling solutions.
ATCS plays a critical role in maintaining HVAC systems by preventing the buildup of dirt and dust by cleaning it on intervals, reducing the energy consumption and extending the lifespan of the equipment. Government and regulatory bodies worldwide implement stringent regulations focused at reduction on carbon emissions. For instance, EU Energy Efficiency Directive in Europe and US Department of Energy's Building Energy Code Program in North America have set targets for industrial cooling systems, where compliance with these regulations drives the adoption of the market.
The
rapid industrialization and urbanization worldwide supported by the United
Nations report, mainly in the countries in the Asia Pacific region, leads to
the increase in energy consumption in various sectors including manufacturing
and power generation drives the demand of the market.

Tube Cleaning System (ATCS) Market Segment By
System Type Review:
The ball based ATCS uses small sponge and abrasive balls that are inserted automatically in to the tubes of the system at preset intervals. The balls cleans the interior surfaces of the tubes in the heat exchangers and chillers, preventing the fouling, scaling and maintaining the thermal efficiency of the equipment. The brush-based ATCS operates in the similar way as ball based ATCS but they use mechanical brushes that moves back and forth inside the tubes, scrubbing away the debris and scale build up.

Tube Cleaning System (ATCS) Market Segment By
Application Review:
Chillers are the crucial part of the industrial and
commercial cooling systems, removing the heat from a liquid via a vapor
compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. Overtime the tubes of the
chillers accumulate sediment due to continuous operation where ATCS prevents
the buildup and cleans the tubes. Cooling towers are widely used in power
plants and refineries in order to remove the heat from the water, similar to
the chillers due to heavy duty operations it experiences fouling where ATCS is
utilized to prevent the buildup and cleans the system. HVAC systems are widely
used in residential, commercial and industrial settings for controlling the
temperature and are highly incident to fouling because of airborne particles
and dust where ATCS enables proper functioning by removing the buildup.
Automatic
Tube Cleaning System (ATCS) Market Segment By End
Users Review:
The pharmaceutical industry relies on ATCS as they extensively use heat exchangers and chillers that are incident to fouling which may lead to inefficiencies and increase in operational cost. In the manufacturing sector, the chillers and HVAC systems are very common where ATCS are vital for longtime operations of the equipment and reducing the operation downtime. The hospitality industry including hotels, resorts, etc. are the prominent users cooling systems and therefore, they highly rely on ATCS for efficient operation.
Power plants
utilize steam or water-cooling systems where fouling can drastically reduce the
efficiency of the system, leading to the increase in the fuel consumption and
operational costs, ATCS provides a solution by automatically cleaning the
system. Oil and gas industry involves cooling and heat exchangers operating on
large scale in refineries or petrochemical plants and are highly prone to
fouling, leading to the costly downtime and reduced productivity. ATCS plays a
critical role in maintaining the performance and integrity of the machines
