Abstract:
A system for cleaning water in a cooling tower comprising:a conduit for moving water from said cooling tower past a cathode and an anode and back to said cooling tower;an electronically controlled stepped DC power supply to provide a DC potential between said cathode and said anode;an ionization chamber including said cathode and said anode for cleaning said water; at least one sensor placed within said conduit for measuring a level of ionization in the water; an electronic control system for altering said DC potential from the power supply responsive to the measured level of ionization;at least one sensor placed within said conduit for measuring the pH of the water;a controllable gas supply for injecting a gas into said water based upon the sensed pH of the water;a filtering device to remove particulate matter from said water.
