TP24-04 Design Guide: Compatibility of Materials of Construction for Cooling Water Systems Environmental Impact Revised February 2023Engineering designers often lack the required knowledge and or water quality information to accurately specify compatible materials of construction in heat exchangers in evaporative cooling water systems. The consequences of this knowledge gap include compromised heat transfer efficiency, corrosion, and premature failure. Climate change, sustainability initiatives and supply chain issues have increased the complexity of successful selection of
