    Water Treatment of Evaporative Condensers

    Uploaded by

    Fred Sibug
    The document discusses water treatment for evaporative condensers. Evaporative condensers use water to cool and condense hot refrigerant gas. Untreated water can cause scale formation, corrosion, and biological growth in evaporative condensers. An effective water treatment program uses chemicals like sequesterin and algannon, as well as bleed control, chemical feeding and monitoring, flushing, and descaling to control scale, corrosion, and microbiological growth. The treatment program is designed to keep water parameters like pH, TDS, hardness, sulfates, and silica within specified limits to protect evaporative condensers.

    WATER TREATMENT

    OF EVAPORATIVE
    CONDENSERS
    Presented by:

    Engr. Mark Joseph Orias Engr. Frederico Sibug, Jr


    Water Treatment Engineer Asst. Operations Head
    EVAPORATIVE CONDENSER

    An evaporative
    condenser is a type of
    cooling tower used to
    cool and condense hot
    refrigerant gas by
    circulating it through a
    condensing coil over
    which water is
    continuously sprayed.
    WATER RELATED PROBLEMS IN
    EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS

    SCALE FORMATION CORROSION

    BIOLOGICAL GROWTH
    SCALE FORMATION

    Scale is formed from


    overly concentrated
    dissolved solids.
    CORROSION
    Evaporative condensers
    and condenser coils are
    primarily constructed of
    galvanized steel, which is
    prone to a unique
    corrosion phenomenon
    known as white rust.
    MICROBIOLOGICAL GROWTH

    Uncontrolled
    microbiological growth can
    cause major corrosion and
    deposit problems in
    evaporative condensers.
    WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM
    The water treatment program consists of:

    Bleed Control
    Chemical Feed and Control
    Maintenance
    SEQUESTRIN
    ALGANON
    SCOPE OF THE TREATMENT
    Monthly supply of required chemicals
    Weekly visit and water analysis
    Chemical feeding and control
    Monthly flushing
    Annual Descaling (during the treatment, CDO
    will be responsible for initial descaling)
    Assigned water treatment technician (8 hours /
    day, 6 days / week)
    EVAPORATIVE CONDENSER WATER
    PARAMETER LIMITS

    pH 6.5 9.0
    TDS 1,500 ppm max
    Hardness 50 600 ppm as CaCO3
    Sulfates 250 ppm max
    Silica 150 ppm max
