DATA CENTERS - COOLING WATER & HEAT REJECTION
Keep Heat Rejection Systems Running Cleaner, Longer
Cooling and heat rejection systems depend on controlled water quality, protected flow paths, and filtration support for the equipment that keeps heat moving out of the facility.

What Filtration Helps Keep Out of Cooling Water Systems
What starts in the water can reach critical cooling equipment. Sediment, rust, scale, biological debris, and suspended solids can move through towers, basins, pumps, heat exchangers, and piping. King helps source filtration matched to the contaminant, system location, and protection goal.
Sediment, Sand & Debris
Can settle in basins, circulate through piping, and contribute to wear, plugging, or buildup.
Support:
Cartridge filters, bag vessels, side-stream filtration
Rust & Corrosion Debris
Can break loose from piping and equipment surfaces, then travel downstream into pumps, valves, and heat exchangers.
Support:
Cartridge filters, bag vessels, side-stream filtration
Scale, Fouling & Bio Growth
Can reduce heat transfer performance, increase cleaning demands, and affect cooling tower or basin cleanliness.
Support:
Side-stream filtration, cartridge filters, bag filters
Makeup Water Particulates
Can enter the system before recirculation, RO, pretreatment, or cooling tower operation.
Support:
Prefilters, cartridges, high-capacity bag filters
Small Water-Side Contaminants Can Create System-Wide Problems.
Sediment, rust, scale, and biological debris can move through towers, basins, pumps, heat exchangers, and piping. Controlling suspended solids and organic load is also a critical foundation for Legionella risk management programs. King helps source filtration matched to the contaminant, system location, and protection goal.
Filtration Support Across the Cooling Water System
Cooling water filtration needs vary by contaminant load, system location, flow rate, water chemistry, and equipment protection goals. King helps source practical filtration options for cooling towers, pumps, heat exchangers, makeup water, side-stream loops, and commissioning needs.
Cooling Tower Basin / Recirculating Loop
Remove suspended solids before they continue through the cooling loop.
Support:
Side-stream filters, basin filtration, bag filters, cartridge filters, and self-cleaning filters.
Pump Suction & Equipment Protection
Protect pumps, valves, and downstream equipment from debris, scale, and large solids.
Support:
Basket strainers, Y-strainers, duplex strainers, and temporary startup strainers.
Heat Exchanger Protection
Reduce fouling risk and help protect heat transfer surfaces from debris buildup.
Support:
Inline/duplex strainers, cartridge housings, bag housings, and side-stream filtration.
Makeup Water Pretreatment
Help condition incoming water before it enters critical cooling systems.
Support:
Sediment filters, cartridge filters, RO pretreatment filters, and high-capacity bag filters.
Side-Stream Solids Removal
Continuously clean a portion of the system flow without filtering the full loop volume.
Support:
Side-stream filtration skids, bag vessels, cartridge vessels, and automatic filters.
Startup / Commissioning Protection
Capture construction debris, pipe scale, and installation residue before normal operation.
Support:
Temporary strainers, flush-loop filters, high-dirt-loading bags, and replacement startup elements.
Common Cooling Water Filtration Applications

Cooling & Heat
Rejection Loops
