CHEMICAL DOSING POTS
Liquid and QuickStick® Dosing Pots
Dosing pots are required in order to feed liquid chemicals such as corrosion inhibitors into closed systems.
We offer both liquid and QuickStick dosing pots.

Dosing pots - for Closed Loop cooling Systems
Dosing pots are highly recommended and necessary in data centres for maintaining closed-loop cooling systems. They are used to safely introduce corrosion inhibitors and glycol, ensuring water quality, mitigating microbial growth, and extending the life of HVAC components.
Key Aspects of Dosing Pots in Data Centres:
- Corrosion Protection: Dosing pots allow for the introduction of chemicals that create a protective layer on metal surfaces to prevent oxidation and leakage.
- Microbiological Growth Control: Stagnant or warm water in cooling circuits can promote bacterial growth, such as biofilm, which reduces heat transfer efficiency. Dosing pots are used to add biocides to treat this.
- Preventing Scale and Fouling: Water-based cooling systems can suffer from mineral buildup (scaling) or debris (fouling), which acts as an insulating layer, reducing heat exchanger performance. Chemical treatment added via pots breaks down these contaminants and keeps the water clean.
- Adding Anti-Freeze (Glycol): In colder climates or specific cooling setups, glycol is added to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, which would result in massive, long-term downtime.
