Cooling system scale is a matter of concern because of the efficiency and safety of the system
Dangerous effects of scale on the cooling tower system – Cooling Tower
- Scale reduces heat exchange efficiency and creates different batteries.
- It is these batteries that speed up corrosion and lead to device errors.
- The initially thin layer of scale will adhere tightly to the surface of the system, forming a thin film. Over time, many impurities will continue to accumulate in gel form, depending on the type of residue and interaction ability. of each device and each location.
- Metal surfaces are ideal places for crystal nucleation of impurities.
- Corrosion of batteries on metal surfaces creates areas with high pH and these are favorable conditions for the formation of precipitated salts in the cooling system.

Causes of scale deposits in cooling tower systems
Common reactions that create scale in the system are:
Ca2+ + CO32- -> Ca CO3 ↓ (1)
Mg2+ + CO32- -> MgCO3 ↓ (2)
2Fe3+ + 3SO42- -> Fe2(SO4)3 ↓ (3)
Ca2+ + SO42- -> CaSO4 ↓ (4)
Ca2+ + SiO32- -> CaSiO3 ↓ (5)
Common causes of scale:
- Hard residue;
- Impurities;
- Organic residue;
- Microbiological residue

Common types of scale in cooling tower systems
Types of deposits commonly found in cooling systems include:
Hard residue: CaCO3, CaSO4, MgCO3, MgSO4, CaSiO3: these residues are often difficult to dissolve in water
Soft residue: old dead cells of microorganisms, membranes of microorganisms, algae, fungi.
Crystalsal salt: often appears in dry air and high temperature conditions, in places with salty water sources, this ingredient can be found in The pipe is quite high
Types of colloids in water: due to different physicochemical reactions, charged particles are formed, in this state they have the ability to attract other molecules to create form a long chain and form scale in the system.
