Notice:
Danger of corrosion of heat exchanger due to unsuitable quality of
cooling water.
• Due to its high content of lime hart water is not suitable for cooling
and causes calcination of the heat exchanger.
• Ferrous water or water containing ferrous particles will cause
formation of rust even in heat exchangers made of stainless steel.
• Chlorous water will cause pitting corrosion in heat exchangers made
of stainless steel.
• Due to its corrosive characteristics distilled and deionized water is
unsuitable and will cause corrosion of the bath. .
• Due to its corrosive characteristics sea water is not suitable.
• Due to its microbiological (bacteria) components which settle in the
heat exchanger untreated and unpurified river water and water from
cooling towers is unsuitable.
• Avoid particulate matter in cooling water.
• 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.
