Calcium and magnesium provide hardness in a solution. By itself, hardness does not present any problems. A calcium solution at a pH of 3 may have hardness, but it is not going to scale. This Section looks at the scaling or precipitation fouling that results when alkalinity is present with the hardness and how this scaling forms on heat-transfer surfaces in cooling systems.
W-index Operating Manual -3- • The Langelier Saturation Index or LSI1 was the first attempt to quantify the tendency to form scale. It is defined simply as the difference between the actual system pH (the measured value) and the saturation pHs.This index provides a simple criterion by which the likelihood
