RAW WATER QUALITY
Raw water quality to be used in the closed cooling water circuits of engines has to meet the following
specification.
Property Unit Limits for
chemical use
Limits for
WWCU*) use
Test method reference
pH 1) - 6,5 – 8,5 6,5 – 8,5 ASTM D 1287 or D 1293
Hardness °dH max. 10 max. 10 ASTM D 1126
Chlorides 1) mg/l max. 80 max. 40 ASTM D 512 or D 4327
Sulphates mg/l max. 150 max. 100 ASTM D 516 or D 4327
*) Wärtsilä Water Conditioner Unit
Use of raw water produced with an evaporator as well as a good quality tap water will normally
ensure that an acceptable raw water quality requirement is fulfilled, but e.g. sea water and rain water
are unsuitable raw water qualities.
1) If a Reverse Osmosis (RO) process is used, min. limit for pH is 6,0 based on the RO process operational
principle. The use of water originating from RO process further presumes that a max. content of 80 mg/l
for chloride content is achieved.

In order to prevent corrosion in the cooling water system, the instructions of right dosage and
concentration of active corrosion inhibitors should always be followed. The information can be found

Note 1: For many products the recommended minimum and maximum limits are listed in the table
above. Since the amount of active corrosion inhibitors, especially nitrites, is decreasing
during the service of engines, the engine manufacturer recommends to start the dosage from
the upper level of 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 nitrite content goes 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 are not offering a good protection against corrosion for
aluminium and its alloys and thus the use of such products can’t recommended for cooling
systems containing those construction materials.
Note 5: Different cooling water additives shall not be mixed with each other, but if it is desired to
start to use another cooling water additive, the one being used shall be drained from the
system before filling another product. If the cooling water system is dirty, it shall be flushed
with good quality water or if needed use additional chemicals to remove possible deposits,
like grease, oil, rust, etc. Though many cooling water additives are chemically compatible
with each other, these can contain e.g. polymers which can loosen existing deposits from the
cooling water system. When the loose deposits become suspended in the cooling water, they
can attach to engine component surfaces, e.g. cylinder head and will then cause detrimental
effects in terms of heat transfer decline, clogging of small diameter water channels and
deposit formation leading to local overheating and corrosion.
VALIDATED COOLING WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS
WÄRTSILÄ WATER CONDITIONER UNIT
As an alternative to the validated cooling water additives, the Wärtsilä Water Conditioner Unit (WWCU) can
also be used to treat cooling water of engines’ closed water circuits. WWCU is based on the Enwamatic EMM
cooling water treatment system, but includes a number of new features based on Wärtsilä design. The WWCU
protects the engine from corrosion without any chemicals. It acts as a side stream filtration and water treatment
unit and includes the following functions: corrosion protection, scale control, filtration, control of bacterial
growth and air separation.
