What is the impact of system volume on circulating water?
The larger the volume, the longer the cycle time! If the disinfection and sterilization process is slow, it will facilitate the growth of algae.
A large system volume means a larger proportion of the circulating water, which prolongs the circulation cycle and raises the water temperature, thereby hindering cooling.
The system has a large volume, requiring a large amount of fungicide to be added. With a constant amount of wastewater, the residence time of the chemical agent is longer. If the residence time of the chemical is too long, it can lead to the degradation of the scale inhibitor, resulting in a decrease in its effective concentration. In particular, polyphosphates and organic phosphonates, upon degradation to orthophosphorus, increase the formation of calcium phosphate scale and exacerbate the growth of bacteria and algae. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to maintain a water level of 1/3 to 1/5 of the circulation volume.
