This comprehensive book is the only onethat addresses theory, practice,management, purchasing and marketingof cooling water systems in one volume.

The approach of this essential reference ispractical and international, and it is basedon 30 years of professional experience.

Profusely illustrated, this handbook willenable professionals to understand thefactors that may interfere and compromisethe optimal functioning of cooling watersystems, used in every industrial andcommercial premise in the world (e.g.,industrial plants, large office towers;hospitals, hotels, etc.).

Maintenance of cooling water systems isbased on specialty chemicals, and thisinvaluable handbook containsinformation on chemical formulations andprogramming, considered “taboo” andnever published before.

Scaling, corrosion, micro-biologicaldeposits, among others, interfere with thetransfer of heat, a key element to achievea cost-effective operation of cooling watersystems, examined in chapters on CoolingSystem & Heat Exchange Essentials;Make-Up Water Sources & TheirImpurities; and Corrosion, Fouling &Deposition.Different treatments, pre-treatmentequipment, devices; application ofdifferent chemicals; and computersoftware programs are analyzed in thechapters on Chemical Treatments &Programs for Cooling Water Systems; andMicrobiological Control Programs.

Specially important to decision-makers,water treatment field personnel, andcooling water systems marketingpersonnel are the chapters on Buying andSelling Cooling Water Programs; Surveys,Inspections and Cooling Water ProgramSelection.

The chapters on Managing CoolingSystems and Monitoring and Control,address the importance of improving andmaintaining the quality of the coolingwater systems process and of optimizingoperating costs.
