Discussion on Corrosion and Scale Inhibition Practice of Open Circulation Cooling Water System in Data Center
Scale and corrosion issues are the two main factors affecting the normal operation of open loop cooling water systems in data centers.Currently,the industry mainly adopts the methods of regularly adding corrosion and scale inhibitors and timely discharge for treatment.The author found through research that most data center enterprises have not scientifically planned the dosage of chemicals and the amount of wastewater discharged,resulting in the inability to accurately control the water quality of the cooling water system.The resulting scale or corrosive impurities lead to high power consumption and hidden dangers in the operation of HVAC equipment,posing a threat to the safety of data center operations.Therefore,how to accurately control the water quality of open loop cooling water systems is the key and difficult point for the safe and efficient operation of HVAC systems in current data centers.This article takes the water treatment of a data center in East China as an example to introduce and analyze how to scientifically calculate and implement the corrosion and scale inhibition process of an open circulating water system.
