What effects might ozone have on cooling tower components?
Whilst ozone, at high concentrations in air, will break down certain materials which contain carbon-carbon double bonds, such as nylon acetyl resins etc. (PVC, ABS plastic, viton rubber, PTFE and most engineering plastics are unaffected). When dissolved in water at the levels of ozone employed by Waterwise in cooling water treatment, it will have no adverse affect on the materials used in cooling towers, as confirmed by cooling tower manufacturers.
