Cooling Tower Water Testing

Why should Cooling Tower Water Testing Must be done in Corporate?

Water containing chemicals can corrode pipes, tube bundles, or pumps. Curved scale chips are present because of the corroded pipe. (Calcium carbonate is a frequent example; other scales such as magnesium hydroxide, calcium phosphate, or scales containing silica can occur.)

Water containing deposits of sand, silt, or organic material blown into the system by the wind do not meet specifications if these materials clog piping, strainers, cooling tower distribution holes, or tower fill or pumps. Profuse growth of microorganisms can prevent a cooling system from meeting heat-transfer specification.

Cooling towers used in open recirculating evaporative cooling water systems, domestic hot water systems, fountains, and similar disseminators that tap into a public water supply. Natural sources include freshwater ponds and creeks may increase risk of legionellosis and other diseases. The various Legionella species are the cause of Legionnaires’ disease in humans and transmission is via exposure to aerosols—the inhalation of mist droplets containing the bacteria. A variety of rod-shaped bacteria and two protozoans are found in a recirculating cooling system. Green algae with some bacteria found in a recirculating cooling system.
