The cooling system operation can directly affect reliability, efficiency, and cost of any industrial, institutional, or power industry process. Monitoring and maintaining control of corrosion, deposition, microbial growth, and system operation is essential to provide the optimum Total Cost of Operation (TCO). The first step to achieve minimum TCO is selecting an appropriate treatment program and operating conditions to minimize system stresses.
Abstract – In this project, we will analyse the control system for pH control and also monitor the acid pump’s critical parameters. This information will be stored in cloud through Ethernet. Key Words: pH; Vibration; Winding Temperature; IoT; Ethernet 1.INTRODUCTION
2. EXISTING PROBLEM
Industrial production processes needs cooling water for efficient, proper operation. Refineries, Steel mills, Petrochemical plants, Manufacturing facilities, Food plants, Large buildings, Chemical processing plants and electric utilities all rely on the cooling water system to do its job. Cooling water system controls temperatures and pressures by transferring heat from hot process fluids into the cooling water, which carries the heat away.
Presently the cooling water samples are collected at regular intervals and sent to the central quality laboratory for measurement. Based on the result provided by the central laboratory, the dosage pump discharge hand operated valve is operated. The primary objectives of cooling water treatment are to maintain the operating efficiency of the cooling water system and to protect the equipment that contacts the cooling water. These objectives are accomplished by controlling or minimizing deposition, corrosion, and microbiological growth on the cooling water equipment. The deposits that occur in cooling water systems are usually divided into two categories: scale and fouling. The presence of either type of deposit in the heat exchangers or in the film fill can interfere with heat transfer, thereby reducing the efficiency of operation.
The cooling water heats up and must be either cooled before it can be used again or replaced with fresh makeup water. The total value of the production process will be sustained only if the cooling system can maintain the proper process temperature and pH. The cooling system design, effectiveness and efficiency depends on the type of process being cooled, the characteristics of the water and environmental considerations.
3. DETAILS OF THE WORK 3.1 Our work This project considers various aspects of cooling tower operating parameters. A critical review of common approaches to stable cooling tower operation within facilities has been undertaken examining the advantages and disadvantages. Various sensors will monitor the outlet water and in case if the parameters goes beyond a certain value, then the corrective action will be taken.
