Why Are Bio Balls Good For Aquarium Biological Filtration?

 As we all know those good bacteria in fish tank can concert ammonia into nitrite and then turn into nitrate. Those good bacteria form an essential part of the nitrogen cycle. So we need to provie enough spaces for them. Bio balls are perfect for them.

Bio Balls


Let me tell you why?


Think of bio alls as small plastic houses for nitrifying bacteria. Bacteria likes to cling to the surface of objects, and plastic Bio Balls have been designed to provide as much surface area as possible for the bacteria to cling to.

Some bio balls even have small pieces of ceramic or foam hiding inside--even more surface area for bacteria to cling to. Check the following picture:

The foam is perfect for growing large colonies of nitrifying bacteria. It’s water makes a sponge filter so good at biolocial filtration--the process of ammonia and nitrites being converted to nitrates.

How do cooling towers work explanation?

图片
Our company is  cooling tower fill manufacturer  in China. Here we want to introduce the work explanation of cooling tower. What are cooling towers? Cooling towers are a special type of heat exchanger that allows water and air to come in contact with each other to lower the temperature of the hot water. During this process, small volumes of water evaporate, lowering the temperature of the water that's being circulated throughout the cooling tower. In a short summary, a cooling tower cools down water that gets over heated by industrial equipment and processes. The hot water is usually caused by air conditioning condensers or other industrial processes. That water is pumped through pipes directly into the cooling tower. Cooling tower nozzles are used to spray the water onto to the " cooling tower filler ", which slows the water flow down and exposes the maximum amount of water surface area possible for the best air-water contact. The water is exposed to air as it...

What Size Does PVC Fill for The Cooling Tower?

图片
Cooling towers are used in various industrial applications to remove waste heat from industrial processes, power generation, and air conditioning systems. One of the essential components of a cooling tower is the PVC fill, which is responsible for maximizing the heat transfer between the water and air. In this article, we will discuss what size PVC fills are suitable for cooling towers and the factors that affect their selection.   What are PVC Fills?   PVC fills  are a type of heat exchange media used in cooling towers. They are made from high-quality PVC materials that are designed to enhance heat transfer by increasing the surface area between the water and air. The PVC fill is positioned in the cooling tower to create a large wetted surface area, allowing the water to flow over it and come into contact with the air.   Factors That Affect PVC Fill Selection   When selecting PVC fills for cooling towers, there are several factors to consider, including:  ...
