Deposition characteristics of magnesium silicate and calcium carbonate in cooling tower water

Creator:

Lee, Sai Heep

Abstract:

Deposition characteristics of magnesium silicate and calcium carbonate on a heated surface in cooling tower water using city water as make-up was investigated. Flow velocity, bulk temperature and calcium hardness were maintained constant at 5.3 ft/ sec, 95°F and 150 ppm as CaCO₃ respectively whereas surface temperature varied from 105°F...

Calcium carbonate scaling characteristics of cooling tower water

Creator:

Coates, Kenneth Edwin

Abstract:

Scaling characteristics of calcium carbonate on a heated surface in cooling tower water was investigated. Bulk temperature was maintained constant at 95°F. Flow velocities and surface temperatures ranged from 3 ft/sec to 10.3 ft/sec and from 105°F to 170°F respectively. City water was used as make-up for two different water...
