enhanced cooling tower performance with the Zeta Rod™

scale detection

Scale formation is not observed in Zeta Rod™ systems as long as the physical and electrical integrity of the power supplies and electrodes and their connectors are intact. The Zeta Rod™ system is self-monitoring in this respect.

Inspection for any deposits should be done on a monthly to quarterly basis. Scale is seen early in the tower fill and deck and system condition can be determined by periodic observations coupled with the annual condenser inspections. Other data relative to heat transfer are provided by the system efficiency readings commonly reported in central energy management and equipment monitoring systems.
