With increased usage of recycled or reclaimed water, cooling systems have become even more dynamic in nature. These sources of makeup water experience wide variability in water quality. As a result, the deposition stress seen in the cooling system heat exchangers can vary widely. This paper outlines a novel patented technology that is used to monitor deposition stress in cooling systems. The technology is able to operate at multiple temperatures simultaneously giving insight into the stress seen across a range of heat exchangers in a cooling system. Information will be provided from laboratory testing as well as applications in the field.
