Ever had your pump start cavitating or your system suddenly shut down right after passing 200°F? If that sounds familiar, chances are water was the problem.
Sound about right?
While water seems harmless, once it boils it transforms into steam and expands roughly 1000 times. This sudden change can wreak havoc on pumps, trigger safety devices, and create serious hazards.
The source of the water could be a leaking heat exchanger, accidental contamination, or even something as simple as condensation. But regardless of where it comes from, just a few ounces is enough to cause big issues.
Unfortunately, getting rid of water isn’t always as straightforward as it might seem. That’s why we’ve put together a short guide to help explain the challenges and outline the best way to deal with water in your heat transfer system.
Give it a read—it could save you plenty of frustration (and downtime).
