Controlling corrosion and water quality issues in HVAC installations

Case study
Challenge

A commercial HVAC installation equipped with high-efficiency gas boilers experienced several water-quality related issues affecting both performance and system reliability.

The installation suffered from multiple operational risks:

  • Excessive hardness of the make-up water, causing limescale formation and efficiency loss
  • High pH levels in the system, leading to corrosion of the aluminium boiler block
  • Presence of oxygen in the circuit, accelerating corrosion and chemical instability
  • Anaerobic bacterial activity, increasing localized corrosion risks
  • Formation of sludge and deposits, reducing heat transfer and potentially damaging the installation

Additionally, the customer required:

  • Long-term protection of mixed-metal HVAC components
  • Stable and controlled water chemistry
  • Prevention of recurring maintenance issues

Improved operational efficiency and installation lifespan.

Results
  • Stable and controlled water quality

    The installation maintained balanced and chemically stable system water over time.

  • Elimination of active corrosion problems

    Metal surfaces and sensitive aluminium components remained protected against further deterioration.

  • Significant reduction in sludge and scaling

    Cleaner pipework and heat exchangers improved circulation and reduced contamination buildup.

  • Improved heat transfer performance

    The system operated more efficiently due to cleaner internal surfaces and reduced insulating deposits.

  • Increased efficiency of the HVAC installation

    Lower energy losses contributed to improved operational performance and energy savings.

  • Extended service life of boilers and pipework

    Reduced chemical and mechanical stress helped preserve critical installation components.

  • Lower maintenance frequency and operational costs

    Fewer corrective interventions and system cleanings reduced overall maintenance expenses.
