Types of chemicals used in cooling towers are Scale inhibitors, Corrosion inhibitors, Biocides and pH adjusters. Here will discuss Biocides and pH adjusters. Click here for Scale inhibitors and Corrosion inhibitors.
Biocides
Injection quills are used to inject biocides into cooling towers to control the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, and fungi, that can cause fouling and corrosion of the cooling tower and associated piping. Biocides are chemicals that are toxic to microorganisms and they work by killing or inhibiting their growth.
The quills are typically located near the base of the tower and are designed to ensure that the chemical solution is evenly distributed throughout the water in the tower. They have small holes or nozzles that allow for a controlled flow of the biocide solution into the water flow.
The biocide solution is injected into the water system of the cooling tower through the quills. As the water flows through the tower, it comes into contact with the biocide, which kills or inhibits the growth of the microorganisms. This can help to prevent the buildup of microorganisms, which can block the heat transfer surfaces in the tower, reducing the overall heat transfer efficiency and leading to corrosion of the metal surfaces.
The quills can be adjusted to control the flow rate of the biocide solution, allowing for precise control of the dosing. The flow rate can be adjusted depending on the water conditions, such as temperature, pH, and microbial activity. This can help to ensure that the appropriate amount of biocide is being added to the water, helping to control the growth of microorganisms and preventing fouling and corrosion.
In summary, Injection quills are used to inject biocides into cooling towers by introducing a controlled flow of biocide solution into the water system of the cooling tower through the quills, which kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms, preventing fouling and corrosion, and by adjusting the flow rate of the biocide solution to ensure the appropriate amount of biocide is being added to the water, helping to control the growth of microorganisms and preventing fouling and corrosion.
pH adjusters
Injection quills are used to inject pH adjusters into cooling towers to control the acidity or basicity of the water in the system. pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution and it is an important factor in maintaining the proper operation of a cooling tower.
The pH of the water in the cooling tower should be maintained within a specific range to prevent corrosion of the metal surfaces and to ensure that the biocides and other chemicals added to the water are effective. For example, some biocides and corrosion inhibitors work best within a specific pH range.
The quills are typically located near the base of the tower and are designed to ensure that the chemical solution is evenly distributed throughout the water in the tower. They have small holes or nozzles that allow for a controlled flow of the pH adjuster solution into the water flow.
The pH adjuster solution is injected into the water system of the cooling tower through the quills. As the water flows through the tower, it comes into contact with the pH adjuster, which raises or lowers the pH of the water to the desired level. This can help to prevent corrosion of the metal surfaces and to ensure that the biocides and other chemicals added to the water are effective.
The quills can be adjusted to control the flow rate of the pH adjuster solution, allowing for precise control of the dosing. The flow rate can be adjusted depending on the water conditions, such as temperature, pH, and microbial activity. This can help to ensure that the appropriate amount of pH adjuster is being added to the water, helping to maintain the pH within the desired range.
In summary, Injection quills are used to inject pH adjusters into cooling towers by introducing a controlled flow of pH adjuster solution into the water system of the cooling tower through the quills, which raises or lowers the pH of the water to the desired level, preventing corrosion of the metal surfaces and ensuring that the biocides and other chemicals added to the water are effective, and by adjusting the flow rate of the pH adjuster solution to ensure the appropriate amount of pH adjuster is being added to the water, helping to maintain the pH within the desired range.
