company news about Which Conductivity Measuring Range is Best for Cooling Tower and Boiler Water Monitoring?

Managing the water chemistry in cooling towers and boilers is a balancing act between preventing scale and avoiding corrosion. For these applications, the conductivity range of 5 to 2000μS/cm or 0 to 10mS/cm is typically the most effective. These ranges allow operators to monitor the concentration of dissolved minerals; as water evaporates, the TDS increases, and the conductivity rises. By using a single-channel controller to track these levels, the system can automatically trigger "blowdown" valves to release concentrated water and replace it with fresh makeup water, thereby preventing mineral buildup on heat exchanger surfaces.

In high-pressure boiler systems, the sensor must also be able to withstand significant mechanical stress, requiring a pressure rating of up to 17 bar. The housing material, such as stainless steel or PSS, must be chosen based on the chemical additives used for water treatment. Furthermore, because boiler water is often extremely hot, a sensor capable of measuring up to 135°C is a necessity. By displaying resistivity, salinity, and temperature in addition to conductivity, the controller provides a full overview of the water's corrosive potential. This proactive monitoring extends the lifespan of expensive industrial equipment and improves energy efficiency by ensuring optimal heat transfer.、
