Why use ION Generation for Cooling Towers ?
The use of water ionization as a maintenance treatment
for cooling towers has good potential for operation and maintenance savings.
Water ionization acts as a powerful blocide that eliminates the need to
remove quantities of water from the cooling tower in order to decrease
the concentration of organic and mineral solids in the system. Water ionization
can also eliminate the need for chemical additives added to the cooling
tower water. In a properly installed and operating system, bacterial counts
are reduced, with a subsequent minimization of the buildup of biofilm.
on heat exchanger surfaces.
The resulting reduction in energy use, increased
cooling tower operating efficiency, and reduced maintenance effort provide
cost savings as well as environmental benefit and regulatory compliance
with respect to discharge of wastewater from blowdown. Cooling towers associated
with chillers for air-conditioning are good candidates for a water ionization
application.
