90-13: Effects of Molybdate in Cooling Water Treatment Programs Thermal Performance Tests using mixed-oxidant solution instead

Tests using mixed-oxidant solution instead of oxidizing biocides (chlorine or bromine) for cooling tower maintenance

Additions of organic additives such as Diols have made these programs equal in effectiveness to the classic chromate programs without sacrificing cost

It also shows the dramatic effect that mounting has on commonly used high frequency measurements such as Spike Energy and PeakVue that are used for early warning of bearing and gear faults

Cooling tower water distribution piping is typically designed for normal water flow rates and low operating pressures

” Such considerations include building codes

90-13: Effects of Molybdate in Cooling Water Treatment Programs Thermal Performance Tests using mixed-oxidant solution insteadThe effectiveness of molybdate as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems has been studied. The historical comparison to chromate is not appropriate because of chromate's greater oxidizing ability. Molybdate can function as a localized corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. Laboratory studies indicate that molybdate may be effective when used in conjunction with cathodic and other anodic inhibitors. Comparative cooling tower tests with and without
