A Guide to Cooling Tower Maintenance

The 3 kEys  Reducing maintenance frequency can be risky. Over time, debris, scaling, and fouling can accumulate unnoticed, mechanical components may wear out due to undetected issues, and energy consumption can increase as a result of inefficiencies.  Simple approaches, like being alert while walking around the cooling tower to identify obstructions or debris in air

Operating Strategies for Enhancing Cooling Tower Efficiency

The 3 kEys Manage blowdown—the intentional discharge of water to control dissolved solids and prevent scaling and fouling. Excessive blowdown leads to unnecessary water and energy waste, while insufficient blowdown can cause scaling and fouling, reducing system efficiency. Adjust setpoints and operational schedules based on real-time cooling demand can prevent this waste. During periods of
