How to save energy and reduce consumption in circulating water systems
Thread Content
7,800 cubic meters of circulating water per hour flow through the device; how to reduce energy consumption?
There are generally two ways to save circulating water, one of which is through technical upgrades. Remove the areas where circulating water is not necessary. Another aspect is to control the flow rate reasonably; for example, in winter, reduce the amount of water used for circulation, and turn off the circulation system in areas where it isn’t necessary. Long-term standby pump sets can also have their circulating water turned off when not in use. It is essential to keep good records.

Leave your contact information so we can communicate. Energy savings and cost reduction are achieved by increasing the concentration ratio of the circulating water, thereby saving on water costs; reducing the amount of chemicals used lowers the operating costs of the system. Additionally, the wastewater from the circulating water can be recycled, making it a comprehensive technical improvement solution :)
What was said upstairs is correct; for circulating water, the main components are makeup water, chemicals, and electricity, among others. Use highly efficient chemicals to increase the concentration factor and reduce the amount of chemical applied. Use variable-frequency fans, etc
This is pretty much the same as what we do now
Be aware that the circulating water flow rate in the heat exchanger should not be too low, as this can lead to scaling and even under-scale corrosion. When making adjustments, be careful to avoid causing bigger problems.
The formation of scale is mainly due to poor water quality. For heat-exchange water cooling systems, a maintenance period usually arrives every three years, during which the core needs to be removed and cleaned. Moreover, during winter, the water cooling valve is usually set at a low level.
According to the process requirements, while ensuring effective cooling and maintaining a minimum flow rate of 0.5 m/s in the water cooler, the valve is closed to slightly increase the temperature rise.
Take shortcuts and use large Y-elbows to reduce pipe losses.
