PH level of water and chemical solution - Descaling
Dear Friends ,
How much PH value of solution of water and chemical should be maintained while doing the De-scaling of condensers. If the solution is more acidic , it will damage the copper tubes and if its less then will not remove the scale effectively.

I think that it may depend on the product being used, the following link refers to a particular brand but shows PH levels between 0.5 and 0.7 for the different options.
Perhaps ask your chemical supplier.

Re: PH level of water and chemical solution - Descaling
While plant operates , maintain the following parameters to avoid regular de-scaling
1) maintain alkaline ph .. 7+
2) address dissolved oxygen issue by additives ...... To avoid tubes pitting
3) maintain commercial hardness of cooling water around 5
4) provide tower bleed-off
5) maintain tower hygene
this will give you exceleent results on condenser life & plant perfformance . This will avoid sudden failures
