Protecting Your HVAC Investment

Turbulent flow can disrupt the smooth movement of water, reducing the efficiency of heat transfer in heat exchangers and evaporator coils. This can lead to higher energy consumption and reduced system performance.

Turbulent flow can cause increased noise and vibration in the system, which can be problematic in environments where noise levels need to be controlled. 

 Air pockets or bubbles created by turbulence in the water (air volume) can lead to cavitation, which can cause damage to pumps and other components. Additionally, air in the system can reduce the effective flow rate of water, leading to inefficiencies. 

Large air volumes in the water can cause fluctuations in pressure and flow rates, leading to system instability and potential operational issues. 

Managing turbulence and air volume requires regular maintenance to ensure that air separators and deaerators are functioning properly, adding to the overall maintenance burden.  

Oil fouling creates a film on heat transfer surfaces, acting as an insulator and hindering heat transfer. This can lead to a significant loss in system efficiency, sometimes up to 30% over time. 

As the system struggles to maintain the desired temperature, it has to work harder, drawing more power and increasing energy consumption. 

The increased energy consumption and reduced efficiency result in higher operating costs for running the HVAC system or chiller.

Oil fouling necessitates more frequent maintenance to clean the affected components, adding to the overall maintenance costs and downtime. 

The cumulative effects of reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential equipment damage can lead to decreased system reliability and a shorter lifespan for the equipment. 

Filtration systems enhance water quality by ensuring that all dissolved impurities are removed, not just the minerals that cause limescale. This results in better overall water quality for your HVAC system. 

Water filtration systems can remove a wide range of dissolved solids, including minerals that cause limescale, as well as other impurities like chlorine, sediment, and organic matter. This comprehensive approach ensures cleaner water overall. 

By reducing a broader array of dissolved solids, a water filtration system can further minimize the risk of corrosion beyond what a limescale eliminator can achieve. This helps protect the entire HVAC system more effectively. 

While limescale eliminators specifically target scale buildup, a water filtration system ensures that other forms of deposits and impurities do not affect the system’s efficiency. This dual approach maintains optimal performance and energy efficiency over the long term. 

Limescale acts as an insulator, hindering heat transfer in heat exchangers and evaporator coils. This forces the system to work harder, consuming more energy and increasing operational costs.

As limescale builds up, it can clog pipes, valves, and other components, restricting water flow and reducing system performance. 

Over time, limescale can cause corrosion of metal parts, leading to leaks and potential system failures. 

Regular descaling and maintenance are required to remove limescale buildup, adding to the operational costs and downtime of the system. 

The cumulative effects of reduced efficiency, clogging, and corrosion can significantly shorten the lifespan of HVAC equipment and chillers.
