Scaling

Scaling is formed as a result of calcium and magnesium ion deposits on the units of a cooling system. This negatively influences heat transport leading to other complications within the system. A bio film can also be formed in the cooling water system, consequentially leading to clogging of microorganisms which increases scaling. Ozone treatment limits scaling. Ozone is a disinfectant that decomposes bio films and decreases chances of scale formation

Corrosion

Corrosion is mainly caused by microorganisms, which enhance corrosion forming conditions. A residual ozone concentration of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm is in most cases very effective in keeping the cooling tower and the cooling circuit clean by forming a corrosion preventing film on metals. Ozone reduces the corrosion rate of metals, including copper heat exchangers

Ozone Destroys all types of micro-organisms instantly as it is 3,125 times more germicidal than chlorine

Ozone leads to savings of:

• Energy costs by increasing the heat transfer efficiency of the chiller
• Storage and transport costs of chemical biocides
• Anti-scaling and anti-corrosion agents
• Acid dosages
• Water use

Ozone is the most environmentally friendly oxidant that is effective in a wide PH range. It is produced on-site and requires no storage of dangerous chemicals. Ozone requires no additional disinfectants
