Cooling Water Treatment
Overview
Water is used widely as a cooling medium in processes for many industries and public buildings. The use of an evaporative cooling tower is still the most effective method of heat transfer. Heat is transferred from hot process fluids into the cooling water through a heat exchange surface; consequently, the cooling water heats up. The evaporation of a small percentage of this cooling water in a cooling tower, then reduces the temperature of the cooling water, allowing it to be used for cooling again. Make-up water is used to replace the evaporated water.
To ensure such cooling towers are correctly maintained and operate at optimum efficiency it is essential that the correct cooling water conditions are established and then maintained at all times. This can be achieved using carefully selected cooling tower water treatment chemicals. Klover’s comprehensive range of high performance cooling water treatment chemicals have been scientifically formulated to deliver significant operational benefits and performance improvements to cooling towers, and open and closed cooling systems that use water as a primary coolant.
Cooling Tower Chemicals
Klover’s technically advanced Cooling water treatment chemicals have been scientifically formulated to improve the operation and maintenance of industrial water Cooling systems.
The unwanted accumulation of scale and detrimental impact of metallic corrosion can be significant issues that affect the operation and maintenance of open and closed cooling water systems including evaporative condensers.
Corrosion is a chemical process that involves the oxidation of the construction material of cooling water systems. Corrosion causes premature failure of metals; deposits of corrosion products reduce both heat transfer and water flow rates.
The water within a cooling system provides optimal growth conditions for many species of bacteria, including Legionella spp. The warm environment and high levels of organic debris make for a particularly pleasant environment for rapid bacterial growth if this is left uncontrolled.
Over time, these towers can accumulate scale deposits, which reduce efficiency and potentially lead to equipment damage. Descaling and passivation chemicals are used to remove scale deposits and protect the surfaces of cooling tower systems
