The Perfect Atmosphere for Cooling Towers

Cooling towers - the name itself gives the air of the opposition to shoot. Its existence is for the soul purpose of removing heat . However, cooling towers contain very real dangers of fire : olyvinyl chloride ! "C # filler $ Fi%erglass &einforced lastic ! F& # walls ! F& often mista'en as an acronym of heat-resistant plastic # , %attery fan , fan covers , fan %lades, shutters, walls and sin's , acrylonitrile -%utadiene- styrene ! ()*# and polypropylene no++les and wood. Cooling towers are suscepti%le to fire when they are online or not. ,hen a cooling tower is online, there are several dry areas within the %uilding fire ris' availa%le to feed a fire. ,hen cooling towers are offline, are at greater ris' of fire with a larger volume of dry space to invade . -o not wait until fire %rea's out in a cooling tower to find the fire sprin'ler pipes have failed. ,ooden cooling tower Causes: Impairment Cooling Tower ipe ipe corrosion and scale formation is part of the life cycle of the pipes within a cooling tower . Humid conditions of life these tu%es are the perfect si+e for the deterioration of fire tu%es catalyst. In fact, without the pipe and metal components generally 'eep- up is estimated to have a cooling tower to %e completely demolished and re%uilt approximately every twenty years. There are three main triggers of pipe failure in a cooling tower . .. olluted water /any cooling towers are open and exposed to the outside environment . articulate air pollution and dissolved gases pollute the water. ,hen the evaporation ta'es place , pure water vapor enters the atmosphere , while the contaminated water remaining in the cooling tower in a concentrated state. This speeds up the corrosion process . The corrosion process is dictated %y the speed of the water . High velocity water volume increases corrosion and oxygen transport the particles to the metal pipes at a rapid rate , providing the opportunity to contaminate a larger volume of the pipe . ,hen the velocity of the water is low , the distri%ution of particles is found, causing further damage to a smaller area . The deterioration matter sitting in one place , giving you the chance to eat out on the line in a concentrated way .

olluted water affects the pH %alance of the water, providing new opportunities for the deterioration and corrosion. 0. H %alance The water in the cooling towers comes from a variety of sources, and the source will dictate the pH %alance of the water. The damage caused %y the particles is exasperated when the water loses its %alance and pH %ecomes too acidic or too al'aline. H im%alance may cause either formation or corrosion , depending on the num%er that arrives on the pH scale . Tim%er cooling tower The water that is six e1uili%rium pH is acidic or lower and increases corrosion. The acid solution is mixed with oxygen and contaminants such as chloride or sulfate will cause corrosion . Corrosion is the deterioration of metal %y chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment . The water has a pH %alance of 2 or higher is too al'aline , causing scales to form . (l'aline water has high concentrations of calcium and 3 or magnesium. Calcium car%onate or magnesium is deposited on the pipes, scales creation . ,hen the scales accumulate, it can trap oxygen, causing corrosion . 4o annual inspection , testing and maintenance , installation of the pipeline would not 'now until it happens deterioration a fire event , leaving water supply facilities for their fire protection sprin'ler . *cale %uildup can cause micro%ial growth %etween scales and pipes. This can cause corrosion of pipes called micro%ial induced corrosion ! /IC # in addition to the pro%lems already present scale. There are three different types of attac's against metal : 5 general attac' : Corrosion is distri%uted evenly over the surface of the metal. 5 itting (ttac' : The small areas of the metal corrodes , as in the case of /IC . 5 6alvanic (ttac' : corrosion when two dissimilar metals are in contact. 7. warm The warm atmosphere is the perfect environment for micro%es to thrive . /icro%ial growth results in differential aeration. -ifferential aeration , also 'nown as oxygen concentration cells , occurs when oxygen is trapped %etween the scale and metal pipe . This trapping will not allow oxygen to diffuse naturally and evenly. ,ithout the a%ility to spread evenly , oxygen concentration %ecomes a cell , causing the cell concentration to eat away at the pipe where it is trapped . 8ach increase of 09 to 7: degree temperature corrosion velocity dou%les. counter flow cooling tower Contaminated water , pH %alance , and a warm atmosphere all act in com%ination to corrode pipes or fire scale.

8nsuring security in the event of a fire -ue to the nature of a cooling tower , it is difficult to find an appropriate time to ta'e it offline for inspection, testing or maintenance . However, annual inspections could lead to a longer life for cooling the fire tower . The environment of a cooling tower is ideal for pipeline decomposition formula . Can not stop , %ut it may %e delayed . To delay the decay pipe , annual inspection and testing must %e completed %y a provider of fire protection rated . If corrosion or scale %uildup is detected early , can %e corrected when it is only a small pro%lem and delay the need for a completely new system . If the formation of scale or corrosion and maintenance is re1uired , the pipe system may %e replaced with stainless steel , which decays at a much slower rate than standard steel . -o not delay the replacement of a fire protection system when it has %een corroded %eyond repair point. Cooling systems fire tower , in general, need to %e replaced every ;-.: years due to corrosion. 4o annual inspection , the only way for a facility to learn the system of fire protection piping corrode or scale formation is significant if there is a fire and no fire protection solution . ,hen a replacement fire sprin'ler system is re1uired, choose a provider of fire protection solutions that can meet the accelerated cooling towers re1uire calendar. /any aspects of the installation can %e done %efore or offsite to minimi+e disruption : the design, the survey material spillage outside , safety training , and manufacturing of custom tu%ing.
