The role of baffling in a chlorine contact chamber is to prevent short-circuiting and ensure that the water receives adequate contact time with the chlorine disinfectant to achieve effective pathogen inactivation. A chlorine contact chamber is designed to provide sufficient time for the chlorine to react with and kill or inactivate microorganisms in the water. Short-circuiting occurs when some of the water passes through the chamber more quickly than other water, reducing the contact time and potentially allowing pathogens to survive. Baffles are walls or ba....
