What Does BD Stand For?
BD stands for Blowdown
BD, or Blowdown, refers to the process of intentionally removing water from a boiler, cooling tower, or similar system to control the concentration of dissolved solids. This practice is essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing scale formation, corrosion, and other operational issues. Blowdown helps ensure the longevity and efficiency of the system by regulating water quality and enabling consistent heat transfer.
