Cooling Towers

Ozone Advantages

  • 3,125 times more germicidal than chlorine
  • Eliminates the use of chemicals (except for pH balancing)
  • Ends discharge liabilities and chemical storage record keeping
  • Destroys all types of micro-organisms instantly
  • Minimizes condenser fouling
  • Decomposes organic waste through oxidation
  • Removes existing calcium carbonate scale by destroying the biomass glue bonding agent
  • Low maintenance costs
  • The most environmentally friendly oxidant
  • No persistent chemicals or disinfectants in bleed – ozone breaks down to oxygen
  • Reduces the corrosion rate of metals, including copper heat exchangers
  • Saves on energy costs by increasing the heat transfer efficiency of the chiller

Ozone Reduces Cost in the Following Ways:

  • Reducing makeup water to the cooling tower by permitting more cycles between blowdowns
  • Eliminating the cost and problems in ordering, shipping, handling, storage, and disposal of regular chemicals
  • Reducing power consumption by keeping the chiller heat transfer efficiency high through cleaner condenser tubes
