What’s Covered In Our Closed System Courses
Basic Water Chemistry in Closed Systems
A clear introduction to how water behaves inside heating and cooling systems, including how water quality affects system longevity and efficiency.
Scale Formation
Learn why scale forms inside pipework and heat exchangers, and how it can reduce energy efficiency and system performance if left untreated.
Corrosion Control
Understand how corrosion develops in closed water systems and how corrosion inhibitors can be used to protect pipework, pumps and heat exchangers.
Deposits and Fouling
Learn how deposits build up in systems and the steps to prevent blockages, inefficiencies, and long-term system damage.
Microbial Growth
Learn how microbial contamination can occur in closed circuits and how targeted chemical treatments help maintain system hygiene.
Chemical Treatments
The course also explores the key treatment chemicals used to maintain system performance, including:
- Polyamines and their role in water treatment
- Biocides used to control microbial activity
- Corrosion inhibitors and how to select the correct product
- Glycol-based antifreeze used within closed circuits
- Flushing chemicals and pre-commission cleaners
These sessions provide practical guidance on when and how each chemical treatment can or should be used within a closed water system.
Industry Guidance and British Standards
Our closed water systems training course also covers the main industry guidance documents and standards used across the UK water treatment sector.
This includes an overview of:
- BSRIA BG29: Pre-commission cleaning of pipework systems
- BS8552:2012: Sampling and monitoring water in building services
- BSRIA BG50: Water treatment for closed heating and cooling systems
- Codes of practice for the management and treatment of closed-circuit systems
Understanding these standards helps engineers ensure systems are commissioned, monitored and maintained in line with industry best practice.
