Publication number: 20220203304Abstract: A circulating water preparation system for cooling plants, a cooling system, in particular a recooling system, and a method for operating such a cooling system. In such a cooling system a surface of a heat exchanger is cooled by wetting with water, the water is collected in a collecting tank and returned by means of a water circuit for the renewed wetting of the surface of the heat exchanger. The method is characterised in that the water is purified by means of a filter, in particular a membrane filter. As a result considerably less biocide is needed to keep the water free of germs, in particular legionella, compared to conventional cooling systems or methods for operating such cooling systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Robert FÄRBER, Konrad Falko WUTSCHER, Simon JABORNIG, Franz URSTÖGER, Roland MAYER
