68-08: Sidestream Filtration with Diatomite

Cooling systems whether of the open of closed types are subject to problems created by the presence of suspended solids in the cir­culating water. The degree of tolerance to suspended solids exhibited by any^stem is dependent upon the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the solids as well as flow velocities in critical areas such as tower basins, inlet and outlet headers, compressor jackets, flow distributions ports and nozzles, heat exchanger heads, tubes and coils.
