- Cooling towers are an integral
component
of many refrigeration systems, providing
comfort or process cooling across a broad
range of applications. They are the point
in the system where heat is dissipated to
the atmosphere through the evaporative
process, and are common in industries
such as oil refining, chemical processing,
power plants, steel mills, and many
different manufacturing processes where
process cooling is required. They are
also commonly used to provide comfort
cooling for large commercial buildings
including airports, office buildings,
conference centers, hospitals, and hotels.
- By design, cooling towers
consume large
volumes of water through the evaporation
process to maintain comfort cooling
or process cooling needs
- “Green” chemistry programs exist
primarily to replace traditional treatments that have been deemed
harmful for environmental reasons.
“Green” chemistries often don’t result in
improved thermal efficiency or reduced water consumption, but provide
environmental
compliance and reduced discharge of harmful or illegal substances.
- Traditionally, to eliminate scale
build-up, most cooling towers throughout industry use chemicals
that are increasingly hazardous to the environment and adversely affect
wastewater treatment facilities.
- Chemical free water treatment for
cooling towers are required to enhance the quality of water thereby
reducing energy consumption of air conditioning chiller and improving
COC (Cycle of concentration) for cooling tower
without affecting its efficiency.
- There are a number of chemical free
water treatment technologies available today
- Non-chemical devices (NCD) have been
marketed in the water treatment industry to control or eliminate scale,
corrosion, deposition and microbiological growths in cooling tower and
boiler systems
- Technologies need to be evaluated for
particular application after studying & comparison
- There are good number companies
supplying these technology details & equipments
- Water consumption, Power consumption
and Maintenance of these systems are to be assessed to make the Choice
- The initial expense of the “green”
technology is considerably higher than the tried-and-true chemical
treatment program
- Therefore Cost Benefit analysis can
help decide the final choice
