5.5 Cooling water requirement
General
NOTICE!
Cooling water needs to fulfill certain requirements in order to avoid problems of scaling, fouling,
corrosion or bacterial growth.
In open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must be taken to avoid the growth of harmful
bacteria such as legionella pneumophila when there is a risk of inhalation of the water droplets
.
NOTICE!
For cooling water flows, see 9.4 vacuum pump data.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds,
solids and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials. Therefore the
recommendations formulated in our Cooling Water Specifications are a general guide line for acceptable
coolant quality. However, where strict limits apply, a statement is made in the specification.
The water requirements refer to untreated water. When water is treated, some parameters will change.
Water treatments should be carried out by a specialized water treatment company, taking the responsibility
for the performance of the treated cooling water and the compatibility with the materials in the cooling
circuit. This includes not only th,e selection of the appropriate additives, but also the correct application,
monitoring of concentrations and properties, prevention of sludge formation and maintenance of the
system. This applies also to treatment with antifreeze products. They must be provided with suitable
stabilizers and inhibitors. Specifications are also depending on the type of cooling circuit (open, once
through / recirculating with tower / closed) and on the application (Standard - max 65 °C cooling water
temperature at the outlet) or Energy Recovery (water temperature up to 95 °C).
In case water is not in line with recommended values or if any doubt, consult the manufacturer.
Cooling water parameters

The effect of pH is already included in the Ryznar Stability Index (RSI - see item 4 below), but also the pH
itself is subject to limitations:
