Water quality recommendations
Water quality recommendations Water quality is often
overlooked when the cooling system of a water-cooled air
compressor is examined. Water quality determines how
effective the heat transfer rate, as well as the flow rate
will remain during the life of the unit. It should be noted
that the quality of water used in any cooling system does
not remain constant during the operation of the system.
Evaporation, corrosion, chemical and temperature
changes, aeration, scale and biological formations effect
the water makeup. Most problems in a cooling system
show up first in a reduction in the heat transfer rate, then
in a reduced flow rate and finally with damage to the
system.
Scale:
Scale formation inhibits effective heat transfer, yet
it does help prevent corrosion. Therefore, a thin uniform
coating of calcium carbonate is desired on the inner
surface. Perhaps the largest contributor to scale formation
is the precipitation of calcium carbonate out of the water.
This is dependent on temperature and pH. The higher the
pH value, the greater the chance of scale formation. Scale
can be controlled with water treatment.
Corrosion:
In contrast to scale formation is the problem
of corrosion. Chlorides cause problems because of their
size and conductivity. Low pH levels promote corrosion,
as well as high levels of dissolved oxygen.
Fouling:
Biological and organic substances (slime)
can also cause problems, but in elevated temperature
environments such as cooling processes they are not a
major concern. If they create problems with clogging,
commercial shock treatment are available.
To ensure good operation life and performance of
the compressor cooling system, the recommended
acceptable ranges for different water constituents are
