\nDepending on its composition, it can protect systems \u2013 or gradually destroy them.<\/p>\n
In order to be able to assess heating and cooling water correctly, it is worth taking a closer look at the most important parameters: In heating and cooling systems, water is not a consumable medium, but a permanently circulating operating material<\/strong>. Unsuitable water quality leads, among other things, to:<\/p>\n The good news: Electrical conductivity describes how many dissolved ions are present in the water. In practice, this means:<\/p>\n Conductivity plays a key role, especially with mixed materials (e.g., steel, copper, aluminum). Note:<\/strong> Water hardness describes the content of calcium and magnesium ions. High water hardness can lead to:<\/p>\n However, it is important to note that soft water is not automatically suitable either<\/strong>. Hardness is therefore only part of the truth \u2014not the whole picture.<\/p>\n The pH value determines whether water reacts acidically, neutrally, or alkalinely. An incorrect pH value can:<\/p>\n Particularly important: Salts in water are often the main driver for:<\/p>\n They enter the system through:<\/p>\n Once in the system, salts can only be removed again by taking specific measures.<\/p>\n Drinking water is subject to strict legal requirements\u2014but with a completely different goal: What is harmless to humans can be problematic for heating systems:<\/p>\n Therefore, the following applies: If you know and correctly classify conductivity, hardness, pH value, etc., you can:<\/p>\n Heating water quality is not an abstract specialist topic \u2013 it is the base of professional plant engineering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Like all concepts from UWS Technologie, we never consider water quality in isolation. in the system.<\/p>\n A single good value is not enough \u2013 the overall water system<\/strong> is what matters.<\/p>\n
\nconductivity, hardness, pH value, and salt content.<\/strong><\/p>\nWhy water quality is so crucial in technical systems<\/h2>\n
\nEverything that is introduced into the system remains there \u2013 and continues to have an effect for years.<\/p>\n\n
\nThese effects are not a coincidence<\/strong>, but can be specifically avoided \u2013 if you understand the water parameters.<\/p>\nConductivity \u2013 the most important indicator of risks in the system<\/h3>\n
\nThe higher the conductivity, the more “active” substances are present in the system.<\/p>\n\n
\nIt is therefore one of the most important measured values in heating water analysis.<\/p>\n
\nConductivity is not an abstract laboratory value\u2014it is a direct risk factor for the system.<\/p>\n![\"WaterBoy](\"https:\/\/uws-technologie.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Messkoffer-Set_WaterBoy-300x200.webp\")
