DONT LET YOUR Cooling Water work at cross-purposes
Transcript of DONT LET YOUR Cooling Water work at cross-purposes
φ Cooling water nearly always contains microorganisms that threaten to defeat its cooling power. These organisms are the "slime-formers" that multiply at warm temperatures and form mucilaginous films on the water-side surfaces of condensers.
Particles of inorganic matter become imbedded in the slime, producing a tough, insulating coating that greatly retards heat transfer, often to such an extent that condensers cannot function at rated capacity.
To clean out such deposits by any mechanical means requires expensive shutdowns periodically.
for the slime immediately begins to accumulate again after every cleaning. Chlorination, however, destroys slime growths already present, and prevents recurrence by killing the slime-forming organisms in the water supply, so that water-side surfaces of condensers remain clean month in and month out.
Every cooling water system requires individual treatment to assure satisfactory slime control at minimum expense. W&T engineers will gladly make a survey and recommend the method of chlorine application best adapted to the particular needs of your plant.
