Introduction to Water Technologies

Water is a truly remarkable resource. It's abundance, high heat capacity and relatively low cost make it the perfect medium for heat transfer in HVAC systems, well...maybe not quite perfect. This introduction to water treatment explores the "good, the bad and the ugly" as it relates to water's intrinsic properties and the part impurities play in corrosion, scaling and fouling of equipment. We'll explore how to control and avoid these costly situations by implementing sound chemical applications while recognizing the mechanical effects on water treatment efficacy.
