Precautions for using closed-circuit cooling towers in winter: (1) To better prevent the freezing of air conditioning copper pipes and circulating water, the following aspects must be noted: (2) Antifreeze should be added to the closed-circuit cooling tower circulation system water, or auxiliary anti-freezing electric water heaters can be added to the pipeline; this can prevent the freezing of the cooling circulating water.
Precautions for using closed-circuit cooling towers in winter:
(1) To better prevent the freezing of air conditioning copper pipes and circulating water, pay attention to the following aspects:
(2) Add antifreeze to the closed-circuit cooling tower system water, or add auxiliary anti-freezing electric water heaters in the pipeline; this can prevent the freezing of the cooling circulating water.
(3) After adding antifreeze to the circulating water in the closed-circuit cooling tower, the freezing temperature is lowered, making freezing less likely. The higher the concentration of antifreeze, the lower the freezing temperature, but the heat transfer rate will decrease. Therefore, this should be considered when selecting a closed-circuit cooling tower; also, if there is leakage, replenishing water will dilute the antifreeze, raising the freezing temperature.
(4) When the circulating pump of the closed-circuit cooling tower is operating, the anti-freezing electric water heater heats the water, preventing it from freezing. If there are places where the circulating pump stops, an auxiliary circulating pump is needed; a complete anti-freezing device is recommended.
(5) The closed-circuit cooling tower's water circulation system is designed with a three-way valve. Where the cooling circulating water controls the volume through a bypass valve, increasing the flow rate of the bypass valve will reduce the flow rate in the air conditioning copper pipes, potentially causing freezing even under load. Please adjust the fiberglass cooling tower to a smaller circulating water flow rate.
(6) To prevent the freezing of the sprinkler centrifugal pump and sprinkler pipelines in the closed-circuit cooling tower, please use an anti-freezing electric water heater to maintain the temperature of the stainless steel water tank below.
