Cooling towers
are very effective air washers. Atmospheric dust able
to pass through the air inlet will enter the circulating
water or air pollution, such cases as corrosion, scale
and algae growth which impeded the performance of air
conditioning equipments are surprisingly increasing.
To prevent such trouble, it is not enough to depend
entirely upon chemicals or equipments. Check the water
quality and also on environment factors as well.
1.
Make quality analysis of
circulating water and supplementing water and
take appropriate action to control the quality.
2.
When the trouble is anticipated
owing to the condensed circultion water, we
recommend the use of chemicals, periodic blow
down to keep the operation within the regulate
water quality.
3.
For scale and alpha, clean
with chemicals.
4.
Use strainer or filter
depending on quality and mixture of the water.

WARNING:
Water treatment must be supplied
and / or applied by a professional in the field in order
to avoid fill damage. It is the user's/ owner/s responsibility
to treat the water in order to stop biological contaminants
and avoid among other bacterium, the legionnella bacteria,
which is known to cause legionnaire disease.
