Phoenix Cooling Tower: 150% More Conductivity, No Scale

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Phoenix Cooling Tower: 150% More Conductivity, No Scale
Key results
150% conductivity increase
0 scale deposits
9 months chemical-free

Case Study from QEQI® USA

The Challenges

  • Chemical treatment required continuously
  • Risk of scale at high conductivity
  • Cooling tower blowdown limited
  • Scale threatening chiller efficiency

The Solution

One QEQI® unit was fitted to the cooling tower condenser loop between the pump and chiller in March 2017. The signal disrupts the conditions that bond scale to surfaces, so the system ran chemical-free at much higher conductivity without scaling.

Key Outcomes

R

Tower and chiller tubes stayed scale-free

R

Ran 9 months without chemical treatment

R

Conductivity raised to 10,000 microsiemens

R

Annual inspection confirmed clean tubes

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.
