Additions of organic additives such as Diols have made these programs equal in effectiveness to the classic chromate programs without sacrificing cost

but relatively few owners and specifiers of cooling towers appear to know what preservative treatment entails

It also shows the dramatic effect that mounting has on commonly used high frequency measurements such as Spike Energy and PeakVue that are used for early warning of bearing and gear faults

90-13: Effects of Molybdate in Cooling Water Treatment Programs Thermal Performance This document details the measuredThe effectiveness of molybdate as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems has been studied. The historical comparison to chromate is not appropriate because of chromate's greater oxidizing ability. Molybdate can function as a localized corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. Laboratory studies indicate that molybdate may be effective when used in conjunction with cathodic and other anodic inhibitors. Comparative cooling tower tests with and without
