Table 1

The condition of the cooling water before it is treated should be as follows:

• pH: range 6.5 to 8.5
• Total hardness: max. 10 °dH (corresponds to 180 mg/l CaCO3)
• Chlorides: max. 80 mg/l
• Sulphates: max. 150 mg/l

Dosage of active corrosion inhibitors

The handling of the corrosion inhibitors must be in compliance with the general
Wärtsilä recommendations given in the Operating and Maintenance Manuals.
In order to prevent corrosion in the cooling water system, the instructions of the
right dosage and concentration of active corrosion inhibitor and the maintenance
of its concentration in service should be carried out according to the supplier's
instructions, see Table 2.

The supplying company accepts all responsibility for the performance of the
water treatment in service to the exclusion of any liability of Wärtsilä
Switzerland Ltd.

Table 2

Note 1:
For many products the recommended minimum and maximum limits are listed in Table 2. Since the
amount of active corrosion inhibitors, especially nitrites, is decreasing during the service of engines,
the engine manufacturer recommends starting the dosage from the upper level of the indicated
range.

Note 2:
The nitrite content of nitrite-based cooling water additives tends to decrease in use. The risk of local
corrosion increases substantially when the nitrite content falls below the recommended limit.

Note 3:
Cooling water additive manufacturers can indicate the required nitrite content measured either as
sodium nitrite, NaNO2 or as nitrite, NO2.

1 mg/l as NO2 equals to 1.5 mg/l as NaNO2

Note 4:
Nitrite based cooling water additives do not offer good protection against corrosion for aluminium
and its alloys and thus the use of such products cannot be recommended for cooling systems
containing those metals and alloys.
