One of the areas of application of ITS WATER™ products is to ensure efficient and uninterrupted operation of cooling systems.
Circulating water supply is the most progressive and economical way of providing enterprises with water, which contributes to the maximum conservation of natural water resources.
Open cooling systems take heat away from a heat source by means of heat exchangers, heat is then released to the atmosphere by direct contact with environment, some water is evaporated during this process. Typical problems that occur during this process are as following:
- Corrosion and scale formation in heat exchanges and pipe work;
- Biological fouling.
To ensure efficient and uninterrupted operation of cooling systems, it is recommended to use ITS WATERTM chemicals that maintain a constant water-chemical regime, namely:
- Biocides;
- Defoamers;
- Complex chemicals based on organic compounds.
Places of application:
- Turbine condenser cooling circuits at thermal power stations;
- Water-cooling cycles of technological equipment;
- “Dirty” water circulation cycles.
Problem solving:
- Prevention of scale deposition formation in heat exchangers;
- Slowing down of corrosion processes;
- Prevention of biofouling;
- Intensification of water clarification.
