System and method of evaporative cooling water management

An apparatus for evaporative cooling system water management, the apparatus comprising:

• an evaporative cooling system, a heat source and a water recirculation loop fluidically coupling the evaporative cooling system and the heat source such that the heat source is capable of receiving cooling water supply from the evaporative cooling system via the recirculation loop;
• a purified water feed system having an incoming water inlet for receiving water and fluidically coupled to the evaporative cooling system to provide water to the evaporative cooling system;
• a chemical treatment system fluidically coupled to the evaporative cooling system to provide at least one of corrosion inhibitors, biocides, antiscalants and/or dispersants to water in the evaporative cooling system;
• and
• a water filtration system comprising at least one of a side-stream and a full-stream filter fluidically coupled to an output of the heat source and an input of the evaporative cooling system, for filtering water from the heat source to remove waste and provide the filtered water to the evaporative cooling system.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for evaporative cooling system water management, the non-transitory computer readable medium, when read by at least one processor, is configured to execute operations comprising:

• directing ingress of water at a first amount to a container, wherein the water contains less than 20 ppb of TOC and/or conductive ions in a concentration resulting in resistivity of greater than or equal to 0.02 MΩ·cm according to sensors measuring one or more of the following:
• TOC, conductivity;
• directing addition of one or more treatment chemicals to the water that could include:
• corrosion inhibitors, biocides, antiscalants, or dispersants, according to sensors measuring one or more of the following:
• conductivity, ORP, pH, tracer concentration, silt density index (SDI), turbidity, TOC, and resistivity;
• directing usage of the water to absorb heat, which water evaporates to a second amount less than the first amount;
• and
• directing replenishment of the second amount of water to the first amount without discarding the one or more treatment chemicals that could include:
• corrosion inhibitors, biocides, antiscalants, or dispersants.

An apparatus for treating recirculating water in an evaporative cooling system having a recirculating water condenser loop and side stream, the apparatus comprising at least one controller having circuitry communicatively coupled to the stream having a filter in a stream flow path, which one or more controller is configured to:

• direct ingress of recirculating water from the recirculating water cooling loop;
• direct water stream through the filter to remove contaminants such that the water meets quality criteria of <5 SDI units and turbidity <2 NTU;
• and
• direct the filtered stream water that meets quality criteria to the recirculating water condenser loop.
