Steps for Cooling Tower Maintenance

Steps for Cooling Tower Maintenance

What is a cooling tower?

Cooling towers are designed to remove heat from a building.  This heat is removed by cooling a stream of water to a lower temperature using evaporation. Cooling towers provide large scale air-conditioning. They range in size and structure.  Cooling towers provide a cost-effective and energy efficient operation of systems in need of cooling.

Cooling Tower Maintenance

Routine operational maintenance is imperative to achieve consistent throughput from your cooling towers. Maintenance programs can simplify both time and money for your operational expenses. These procedures can prevent loss of efficiency in the heat transfer section by maintaining proper water flow and airflow, as well as preventing corrosion in the cooling tower.

Maintenance frequency depends on the type of the tower, the size and external factors like geographical location of your building. The engineers at IWC have basic steps they take when a cooling tower is already setup and functioning properly.

 

What are the Steps for Cooling Tower Maintenance?

1) Sample collection

2) Analysis

3) Equipment cleaning and calibration.

4) Equipment adjustment based on results of analysis.

5) Recheck of sampling if needed

6) Replace pails if needed.

7) Record all results for reporting
