Additives for cooling water used in power units
Thread Content
The new unit is about to be put into operation, and it’s necessary to purchase some additives for cooling water; these are referred to as corrosion inhibitors in the manufacturer’s technical specifications. I would like to ask what parameters, etc., are available for these corrosion inhibitors, so as to obtain quotes from suppliers in the market. Hehe, I used to buy antifreeze for cars, but this time the power plants are quite large – 18 units, each with a capacity of 2900 kW. It’s likely that using antifreeze in small bottles won’t be sufficient in this case.
For the several units we have worked on, ethylene glycol is used as the cooling water additive. I’m not sure if it’s suitable for your crew, just for reference.
