- Cooling Towers
Hard water in cooling towers can cause a number of problems, including.
Scaling
Hard water with high calcium levels can cause the water to form scales, which can reduce the cooling tower’s efficiency.
Corrosion
Hard water can cause corrosion in the cooling tower, which can lead to costly repairs or even replacement of the tower.
Fouling
Hard water can contribute to fouling and bacterial contamination, which can eat away at the piping surfaces.
Reduced heat transfer
Hard water can reduce the effectiveness of heat transfer, which can increase running & energy costs.
But simple and perfect Solution is Care-Free Water Conditioners.
Consider the benefits
You see a Care-Free Water Conditioner will…
Stops hard water scale and corrosion
Reduces chemical usage
Maintains low bacteria levels by eliminating biofilm
Does not contribute to toxic aerosis
Improves the longevity and performance of your equipment
Reduce energy costs
Fit in your existing pipeline & is inexpensive to install
Lasts you a lifetime with No maintenance
Keeps cooling towers, piping and condensers clean thereby saving downtime and maintenance costs
Care-Free Water Conditioner compliments
any industrial or commercial application where water is used
BEFORE WITH CHEMICALS
A chemically treated cooling tower prior to installation.
AFTER EIGHT MONTHS, WITHOUT CHEMICALS
Note the water clarity of the cooling tower sump. Care-Free virtually eliminated the biofilm maintenance is required to keep the tower in a ‘clean’ condition.
RANGE OF SIZES TO SUIT YOUR FLOWRATE
Flowrates: 12 lit/min to 15300 lit/min
Test Result at Aquatic Environment of Cooling Towers!
What was of major significance, and is possibly the most important point of this test, is that during the two-year experiment:
a) The cooling tower is dispersing neither Legionella or biocide aerosols.
b) The cooling tower no longer requires cleaning except for the requirement to de-sludge the water pan.
c) The shell and tube condensers attached to the refrigeration machinery no longer require cleaning or brushing.
d) An additional benefit of item (b) is that the compressor efficiency is not impaired or reduced because of dirty or scaled condenser tubes.
e) The use of cooling tower chemicals has been eliminated subject to the Total Bacterial and Legionella counts remaining below a specified limit.
Throughout this time, the test results as provided by a NATA certified testing agency have identified the lowest detectable levels of all legionella. This is an excellent result for cooling towers which are using chemicals, but is an exceptional result from cooling towers which are using no biocide or algaecide chemicals
