Cooling water systems remove heat generated from a variety of industrial processes. There are three basic types of cooling water systems: once-through, open recirculating, and closed recirculating cooling water systems. This publication describes water treatment requirements for the most common systems, once-through and open recirculating. Course Outline 1. TYPES OF COOLING WATER SYSTEMS 2. COOLING TOWER WATER CALCULATIONS 3. OBJECTIVES OF COOLING WATER TREATMENT 4. MICROBIOLOGICAL DEPOSITS AND CONTROL 5. CORROSION IN COOLING SYSTEMS 6. DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE COOLING WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM 7. COOLING WATER SYSTEM START-UP AND LAYUP REQUIREMENTS This course will give you professional tools that will allow you to address water treatment issues associated with cooling towers in industrial applications.
Learning Objectives
At the successful conclusion of this course, you’ll be able to identify and discuss:-
- Learn about once through cooling water systems;
- Learn about open recirculating cooling water systems;
- Learn about natural draft, induced draft, and forced draft cooling towers;
- Learn what the components of typical cooling towers are and their functions;
- Learn about drift eliminators and fill;
- Learn about water treatment requirements for enhanced and super-enhanced chiller condenser tubing ;
- Learn about the importance of controlling legionella bacteria;
- learn the relationship between evaporation, blowdown, and makeup; and
- Learn about cycles of concentration and how they are employed in cooling water treatment.
Many of us have driven by a nuclear power plant or seen the large cooling units outside or on the roof of an industrial facility. This course provided insight into how those systems work and what it takes to keep them functioning efficiently. Maintaining the cooling water efficiency is a bit more complex than I had appreciated due to the potential for biological contamination, improper PH, excess suspended solids, corrosion and other aspects. This course provides insight into those concerns and expands on the approaches used in industry to address.
