2.15.2 Cooling water quality
Oil may contaminate the cooling water if a leak occurs.
➤ A special heat exchanger must be used for heating drinking water.
The specific heat capacity and required flow rate of the cooling water changes if antifreeze is
added.
➤ Consult authorized KAESER Service representative to ensure optimum cooling-system
performance.
It is imperative that measures for cooling water treatment and filtration are implemented.
KAESER can provide the names of companies specializing in cooling water analysis and the supply
of suitable treatment plant.
