Water Treatments of Cooling Systems

This course is designed to give a basic understanding of the main water treatment principles used for cooling systems. The course gives you first the classification of cooling systems as

• Closed Cooling Systems

• Open Cooling Systems

• Integrated Cooling Systems

• Once through Cooling Systems

This classification is followed by a basic explanation of water chemistry parameters that should be known when you operate a cooling system including

• Water Properties

• Water pH

• Electrical Conductivity (EC)

• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

• Water Hardness

• Water Alkalinity

• Salts Solubility in Water

• Total Suspended Solids (TSS)

• Langelier Saturation Index (LSI)

Note: if you already have good water chemistry knowledge, you can override this chapter. However, it is worth always refreshing your chemistry knowledge.

Then, we discuss important topics related to cooling systems which include

• Heat Exchangers

• Cooling Towers

• Chillers

• Water Mass Balance

• Definitions

• Calculations for Cooling Systems

Finally, we are going to highlight the most common problems found in cooling systems and their method of control including

Corrosion Control in Cooling Systems

Scaling Control in Cooling Systems

Biofouling Control in Cooling Systems

Finally, we will conclude the course together and discuss a summary, and then you deserve to get the certificate.

Always I will be close to you during the learning sessions, and ready to answer all your concerns and questions through the Q and A part or through private messages.

Hope you enjoy the course ..

Best Wishes ..
