Closed Loop Testing and Treatment Technology

Closed loop systems are a type of HVAC system that uses circulating water to transfer heat for applications in industrial processes, air conditioning and heating. The system works by passing water through an air handler coil, where it is heated or cooled. After this, the water is exposed to the incoming air to lower its humidity or a hot loop to control temperature.

Each of the three kinds of loops in an HVAC system — refrigerant gas, cooling tower water and chilled water — may leak and cause bacteria growth, corrosion and fouling. If you don’t seek closed loop treatment to correct the issue, it can lead to system damage or failure and a costly repair or replacement.

Our closed loop water treatment services in Cincinnati, Ohio, will help prevent microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and other factors from damaging your closed loops. We’ll take a tailored approach to tackle each issue with your system. Our service starts with various tests that will evaluate its health, including testing for bacteria, pH, corrosion inhibitors, conductance and iron. Our treatment options include cleaning and flushing to eliminate microbiological particles.

Our closed loop service also includes these preventative maintenance procedures:

• Flushing and cleaning
• Equipment replacement
• pH and conductivity testing
• Filter changes

Cooling Tower Water Treatment Services in Cincinnati, Ohio

A cooling tower is a type of heat exchanger that enables water and air to make contact to reduce the water’s temperature. This design makes cooling towers a cost-effective cooling system for HVAC and industrial applications.

Since the cooling tower is exposed to outside air, it can be easily contaminated. The tower water loop captures airborne particles, and the evaporation process concentrates the mineral content. If left untreated, organic growth, fouling, scaling, white rust and corrosion can limit the cooling tower’s efficiency, cause damage and downtime, and promote Legionella growth.

Our treatment service for cooling towers will identify and eliminate these factors from your water supply. We’ll test and examine your system to determine its condition, then establish a custom treatment plan that will cover all of your issues. Our service technicians will decide which of our many treatment options will best serve your system and apply them to begin eradicating the microparticles. Our chemical solutions include scale and corrosion inhibitors, white rust preventatives and microbiological inhibitors, which will treat existing conditions and prevent future problems.

Boiler Water Treatment

A boiler is a machine that produces steam to create heat and regulate temperatures. Because of how they work, boilers are prone to problems that may decrease their efficiency, including:

• Corrosion: Corrosion is caused by a chemical reaction between the chemicals in the air and water. It causes the metal components of the boiler tube to pit and wear out, reducing lifespan and efficiency and increasing operational costs. A boiler may have general corrosion spread across the surface of its metal parts or more concentrated pitting corrosion, which is destructive damage that can severely weaken metal.
• Scale: Scale is made of iron, silica and calcium impurities from the water that have adhered to the boiler’s heat transfer surfaces. Scale insulates the boiler, so it is less efficient at warming the water. It also warps and ruptures the tubes. When there is significant scale buildup, it may detach and enter the stream, causing flow interruptions and potentially leading to boiler overheating and failure.

A regularly treated boiler will last for years for industrial applications, so boiler services for your Cincinnati business are essential to maximizing equipment value and uptime. The boiler water treatment services from Chardon will use expert methods to eliminate the scale and corrosion in your boiler. Our blowdown process will limit mineral concentration to reduce scale by regulating concentration cycles via draining the boiler’s feedwater. Chemical solutions will absorb dissolved oxygen and disperse the crystals, preventing the formation of corrosive pits.

Cincinnati Boiler Treatment

Corrosion and scale can damage your boiler and impair its efficiency. Since your boiler is essential to your business functions, you need adequate protection with a boiler treatment plan. This plan may involve using boiler chemicals.

Chardon Labs has a vast selection of boiler chemicals that will eliminate issues in your boiler system to extend its life and increase its efficiency. Your custom boiler treatment plan may include using one or more of these chemicals to address your issues — our technicians will determine what you need. We have:

• Boiler inhibitors: This chemical protects the metal components from oxygen pitting. We have varieties that are food-safe for food processing applications.
• pH control boiler chemicals: pH control chemicals neutralize the acids and increase the water’s pH level to regulate it.
• Return line boiler chemicals: These chemicals treat the return line to maintain consistent pressure and make the metal corrosion-resistant.
• Scale prevention boiler chemicals: Our scale prevention chemical is a phosphonate blend that inhibits scale formation. Tracers, polymers, conditioners and agents prevent overfeeding.
