Zhongyuan GKN Cylinder is the largest manufacturer of cylinder liners in Asia, which is a joint venture established by GKN Industrial Group (Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds), one of the world’s top 500 companies. It mainly produces high-horsepower cylinder liners for trucks, construction machinery, marine engines and generator sets, and has an annual production capacity of 3 million cylinder liners.

To solve the scaling problems in the cooling towers of the molding factory.

1. Even with a water softener, the outer walls of the cooling towers were still badly scaled reducing the heat exchange efficiency.

2. Summer was especially bad; when the cooling effect did not meet the standard requirement, the alarm would ring.

3. Every time when the alarm rang, workers needed to manually clean the scale with sandpaper.

In order to verify the Vulcan effect, the water softener was stopped and no other water treatment was used during the testing period.

Vulcan S25 was installed on the main inlet of the cooling towers for the molding factory.

The cooling tower before Vulcan was installed
The pipe with a cable tie was cleaned as a note.

Vulcan S25 has been installed for 1 month
During the period, the scale has fallen off without any other water treatment.
