3.6.3 Water quality
In order to ensure long trouble-free operation the cooling water must not
contain any oils, greases and suspended solids. Moreover, we recommend
compliance with the following limit values:
Appearance Clear, free of oils and greases
Suspended matter < 250 mg/l
Particle size < 150 µm
Electrical conductivity < 700 µS/cm
pH value 7.0 to 9.0
Total hardness (total alkaline earths) < 8 °dH
Aggressive carbon dioxide None, not detectable
Chloride < 100 mg/l
Sulphates < 150 mg/l
Nitrate ≤ 50 mg/l
Iron < 0.2 mg/l
Manganese < 0.1 mg/l
Ammonium < 1.0 mg/l
Free chlorine < 0.2 mg/l
8 °dH (degrees German hardness) = 1.4mmol/l
= 10 °e (degrees English hardness)
= 14 °f (degrees French hardness)
If there is the danger of frost, you may use a water glycol mixture of up to 30 %.
DS water (softened or fully desalinated water) can be used for cooling the pump, if
the pH value corresponds to the range indicated above.
