Which chemical use in cooling tower

 There are several chemicals used in cooling towers to maintain efficiency, prevent corrosion, and control microbial growth. Here are some common ones: 1. Biocides (e.g., chlorine, bromine, ozone): to control bacteria, algae, and fungi growth. 2. Corrosion inhibitors (e.g., zinc, phosphonates, molybdates): to protect metal components from corrosion. 3. Scale inhibitors  (e.g., phosphonates, polymers): to prevent mineral scaling and deposition. 4. pH adjusters  (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide): to maintain optimal pH levels. 5. Dispersants  (e.g., polymers): to prevent fouling and maintain water clarity. 6. Algaecides  (e.g., copper, silver): to control algae growth. 7. Fungicides  (e.g., isothiazolines): to control fungal growth. Some specific chemicals used in cooling towers include: - Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) - Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) - Calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2) - Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) - Molybdate-based corrosion inhibitors - Phosphon...
