Maintenance of Atlas air compressors in hydrogen peroxide production systems
Thread Content
What are the specific requirements for the quality of circulating water used in Atlas air compressors, and is it due to poor water quality that the coolers tend to trigger over-temperature alarms?
The quality of the circulating cooling water is too poor; chemicals need to be added to it to prevent scaling and ensure effective cooling.
Wherever possible, use chilled water for cooling during spring, summer, and autumn; this ensures that the cooler does not scale and maintains effective cooling performance.
Scale inhibitors should be added to the circulating water, but the amount must not be excessive, as this can easily cause corrosion of pipes and equipment.
