  • What is a chemical treatment program for a cooling tower?
  • The chemical treatment program for these cooling tower systems (typically greater than 88 kilowatts [25 tons]) requires sufficient, regular testing as well as water and chemical control to protect the equipment in contact with the cooling water. Usually treatment includes control of scale, fouling, microbiological growth, and corrosion.
  • Should a cooling tower be chemically treated?
  • If the cooling tower is not chemically treated, the COC should be adjusted to be slightly less than the lowest allowable COC value based on all scale-forming water ingredients. The use of chemical treatment permits a higher COC, which is usually limited by either the chemical effectiveness or the water treatment control.
  • How does a cooling tower cool water?
  • At its core, a cooling tower cools water by facilitating heat exchange between water and air. This process can either be done through an evaporative method where water is exposed to the air, allowing it to cool as it evaporates, or a closed-circuit system that relies on a heat exchanger.
  • What is a cooling water treatment system?
  • Cooling systems are the backbone of any power plant or industrial processes and are necessary for releasing the heat from the process or equipment. The main aspect of the cooling water treatment is to ensure the water quality according to the requirements irrespective of the type of cooling system installed.
