Cooling and Process Water Analysis

The cooling process can be expressed as the transfer of thermal energy from one medium to another. Especially in industrial applications, cooling systems are used to prevent equipment and products from overheating.

The quality of the cooling water may differ depending on the characteristics of the heat exchanger or engine to be cooled. Cooling waters can be evaluated in terms of many chemical, physical and microbiological properties and it can be determined whether they are suitable or not.

The physical and chemical analyzes performed in cooling waters are as follows:

• Determination of Sensory Properties
• Permanganate Index Determination
• pH Determination
• Phosphate Determination
• Smell (Sensory)
• Determination of Potassium
• Color Determination
• Determination of Sulfate
• Determination of Copper (Cu)
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
• Fluoride Determination
• Determination of Suspended Solids (AKM)
• Determination of Iron
• Determination of Total Hardness
• Lead Determination
• Determination of Total Alkalinity
• Determination of Manganese
• Determination of Turbidity
• Nitrate Determination
• Determination of Chloride
• Nitrite Determination
• Determination of Zinc

Microbiological analyzes performed in cooling waters are as follows:

• Total Bacteria Count
• Total Coliform Bacteria Count (22ºC)
• Total Coliform Bacteria Count (37ºC)
