What are the consequences of inadequate water treatment and filtration in refrigeration systems?

Inadequate water treatment and filtration can lead to corrosion, scaling, and biofouling in refrigeration systems, resulting in reduced heat transfer efficiency, increased energy consumption, and higher maintenance costs. If left unchecked, these issues can cause system failure, downtime, and even safety risks. Furthermore, inadequate treatment and filtration can also lead to contamination of the refrigerant, which can compromise the entire system.
