QEQI / COOLING WATER
Cooling towers & HVAC
Assess scale control and solids removal separately, then define how they fit into the existing cooling-water system.
Discuss your system01 / THE ASSESSMENT
Two problems. Different treatment roles.
Scale, settled solids and a connected treatment plan.
01
Scale on connected equipment
Assess electronic treatment against deposits, pipework and equipment conditions.
02
Settled and suspended solids
Assess basin sweeping and filtration against basin layout and hydraulic conditions.
02 / SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Products to assess for this application.
Basin sweeping & filtration
QEQI-booster
Basin sweeping and centrifugal filtration have a different role from electronic scale control. Configuration depends on the basin layout and operating conditions.
View product03 / VALIDATION
Agree on what to measure.
Record the baseline and compare equivalent operating conditions over an agreed period.
- Cleaning intervals and deposits
- Heat-transfer behaviour and pressure drop
- Make-up water, blowdown and chemical use
Treatment boundaries
Keep necessary water-chemistry, hygiene and blowdown controls. Each retrofit needs its own operating baseline.
04 / PROJECT CONTEXT
Start a useful conversation.
- Tower and basin layout
- Pipe size, material and flow
- Water quality and existing treatment
A useful project record includes equipment configuration, operating baseline and the agreed monitoring period.
05 / APPLICATION FAQ
From configuration to daily operation.
Practical considerations for this application, its existing treatment and performance review.
Does every cooling tower need the same configuration?
Identify the dominant problem first: deposits on connected equipment, basin sediment or suspended solids. Review the main loop, basin and side-stream path separately. Basin geometry, load and existing treatment determine whether electronic treatment, sweeping, separation or a combination should be evaluated.
Can dosing and blowdown be reduced immediately?
Retain existing water-chemistry and microbial controls during initial evaluation. Any adjustment to dosing, blowdown or concentration cycles needs water-quality data and a site-specific review. Record makeup and discharge volumes alongside load and weather before attributing a water-use change to equipment.
How should tower and heat-exchanger results be separated?
Inspect basin deposits and collection records for solids management. Separately assess exchanger deposits, pressure drop, cleaning and heat-transfer behaviour. Cleaner basin water alone does not demonstrate restored heat-transfer performance; use records for each treatment task.
ENGINEERING INPUT / SELECTION CRITERIA
A specification is only the starting point.
A useful configuration connects product ratings to the actual operating environment.
| Assessment area | Site information | Engineering decision |
|---|---|---|
| Pipework & connectivity | Outside / nominal diameter, material, branches and closed electrical loops | Model fit, clearance and signal conditions |
| Hydraulic conditions | Flow, circulation path, pump position and available pressure | Installation location and filtration configuration |
| Water & process | Hardness, suspended solids, temperature and existing treatment | Treatment roles and processes to retain |
| Operation & maintenance | Load profile, cleaning history, inspection and discharge access | Comparable baseline and practical service access |
Electronic scale control, particle separation and water-quality compliance are separate responsibilities. A site may need several coordinated processes. Neither scale control nor filtration universally replaces softening, membrane treatment, disinfection or chemical management.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION / MEASUREMENT
Make the operating evidence comparable.
Establish a baseline
Record equipment, deposits, cleaning intervals and existing water-treatment practice before changes.
Track operating conditions
Record load, flow, temperature, water quality and any parallel process changes during the observation period.
Review defined indicators
Compare cleaning records, pressure drop, heat-transfer behaviour or solids collection as appropriate to the application.
Attribute results carefully
Separate measured results, operator observations and financial estimates. Do not assume every change comes from one device.
