Corrosion is one of the most important problems in the cooling tower and causes cost loss and reduced efficiency of the tower. The presence of various factors in the tower makes it easy for corrosion to occur in the cooling tower. The presence of water as an electrolyte and also the presence of metals of different types in the tower as cathode and anode provides the basis for creating a chemical cell on a large scale.

The impact of various factors on corrosion damage are: 1_ Design, material selection and process 2_ Lack of necessary instructions 3_ Human error 4_ Poor inspection 5_ Poor layout, installation and coordination 6_ Failure to anticipate unwanted events 7_ Other cases
