Notice:
Danger of corrosion of heat exchanger due to unsuitable quality of cooling
water.
x Due to its high content of lime hart water is not suitable for cooling and causes
calcination of the heat exchanger.
x Ferrous water or water containing ferrous particles will cause formation of rust
even in heat exchangers made of stainless steel.
x Chlorous water will cause pitting corrosion in heat exchangers made of stainless
steel.
x Due to its corrosive characteristics distilled and deionized water is unsuitable and
will cause corrosion of the bath. .
x Due to its corrosive characteristics sea water is not suitable.
x Due to its microbiological (bacteria) components which settle in the heat
exchanger untreated and unpurified river water and water from cooling towers is
unsuitable.
x Avoid particulate matter in cooling water.
x Avoid putrid water.
Notice: Cooling water circuit
Risk of oil leaking from the cooling circuit (compressor) of the recirculating cooler into
the cooling water in case of a fault in the circuit!
Observe the laws and regulations of the water distribution company valid in the location
where the unit is operated.
