Cooling Systems are not the first part which comes into mind when thinking about processes and machinery. But for sure they often are a crucial part. A cooling liquid is used to cool down a product, process step or even room. Usually it circulates between its "point of use" where it is heated up by the process and a cooling tower to be cooled for example.

In all cooling systems water is circulated by a pump through a pipe system to remove the heat from consumers like heat exchangers or machines. Two different main types of cooling water systems are used. First the so called open cooling water systems, where the water is open against the atmosphere, either the water is cooled in a cooling tower, or by using already cold river- or seawater.

In many parts of the world it is difficult to get access to clean drinking water. Even bore well water needs a lot of treatment before you can drink it unhesitatingly. One reason is the over use of the bore well water. One have to go deeper and deeper to find water and the water holds more and more TDS. Often reverse osmosis systems (RO) are used to filter foreign substances out of the raw water and gain drinking water. In Saudia Arabia our customer runs several RO systems to produce clean water.

In this article we will limit ourselves to water-filled fire suppression systems. There are systems that use gas such as halon or other agents to suppress the fire. Merus is a watertreatment company and we address corrosion in water-based systems.
