Cooling systems require appropriate water treatment to minimize the risk of corrosion, scale and microbiological accumulations.
Otherwise, they lead to reduced plant productivity, cause unplanned downtime, and require expensive equipment replacements if conditions spiral out of control.
In air conditioning, for cooling engines, cooling processes, heat exchangers, etc., cooling water is conditioned on a cooling tower or cooling device and pumped through consumers through a cold water loop. Usually these consumers are some kind of heat exchanger.
In order for all parts of the cooling water system to function, a good cooling water treatment is required.
Water conditioning of cooling systems often involves a combination of physical (filtration) and chemical treatment (dosing of antiscalants, inhibitors, biocides, etc.).
