Why does scaling occur in circulating water systems?

Direct Conclusion

When water temperature rises and concentration increases, calcium and magnesium ions combined with carbonate exceed solubility limits, crystallize, and deposit on heat exchange surfaces.

Judgment Criteria

  1. 01

    The heat transfer surface temperature exceeds that of the water body, causing local supersaturation to occur first.

  2. 02

    Crystallization is more likely to initiate at locations with low flow rates and rough surfaces.
