Embedding in a Seawater Cooling Tower

Jun 10, 2024

Scale formation in seawater circulation includes hard scale and dirt. Hard scale is a solid deposit formed by the crystallization and precipitation of some salts dissolved in water. Pollution is caused by the adhesion of marine mud and sediments of marine organisms in seawater to the filling surface and structural surface of the cooling tower. During the seawater circulation process, the carbonate concentration increases with evaporation and concentration. When its concentration reaches a supersaturated state, or when the water temperature increases after passing through the surface of the heat exchanger, CaCO3 will be produced on the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger. Deposit to form dense calcium carbonate scales. If scale forms in the heat exchanger, the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger will decrease. If scale forms on the water spray gasket, it will block the narrow air flow and affect the. Cooling tower efficiency. Therefore, anti-limescale is a problem that needs to be solved in seawater towers.
