Note
Deionized water (for Cooling water specications tables)
We recommend using deionized water with reduced conductivity (5 ... 10 µS/cm). If necessary,
ask your water utility to provide the values. According to 98/83/EC, drinking water may contain
up to 2500ppm of chloride!
Manufacturers of chemical additives can provide support when analyzing the water that is
available on the plant side.
