Water Control
 |
Water is the most fundamental part of the cooling tower system. It is used to cool chillers, air-conditioning equipment, or other process equipment. |
Water leaves a cooling tower system in any one of four ways:
- Evaporation: This is the primary function of the tower and is the method that transfers heat from water to the air.
- Drift: A small quantity of water may be lost from the tower as mist or small droplets.
- Blow down: When water evaporates from the cooling tower, dissolved solids (such as calcium, choride, magnesium, silica, etc.) are left behind. As more water evaporates, the concentration of dissolved solids increases. If the concentration gets too high, the solids can come out of solution and cause scale to form within the system and can lead to corrosion problems.
- Basin leaks or overflows: Under normal circumstances, there should not have leaks or overflows.
Synergy complete system and engineers helps control water wastage by reducing dirt and controlling conductivity of the cooling tower.
