Using Ozone in Cooling Towers

Ozone Advantages

• 3,125 times more germicidal than chlorine
• eliminates the use of chemicals except for pH balancing
• ends discharge liabilities and chemical storage record keeping
• destroys all types of microorganisms instantly
• minimizes condenser fouling
• decomposes organic waste by oxidation
• removes existing calcium carbonate scale by destroying the biomass glue bonding agent
• low maintenance costs
• the most environmentally friendly oxidant
• no persistent chemicals or disinfectants in bleed - ozone breaks down to oxygen
• reduces the corrosion rate of metals, including copper heat exchangers
• saves on energy costs by increasing the heat transfer efficiency of the chiller

Ozone Reduces Costs in the Following Ways:

• Reducing makeup water to the cooling tower by permitting more cycles between blowdowns
• Eliminating the cost and problems in ordering, shipping, handling, storage, and disposal of regular chemicals
• Reducing power consumption by keeping the chiller heat transfer efficiency high through cleaner condenser tubes
