Cooling Tower Long Term Storage
Technical PapersWhen placing a cooling tower into long term storage (generally considered one month or longer) there are some basic but critical maintenance steps. Completing the steps ensures the tower will be ready to perform as designed when the cooling season arrives.

Cooling Tower Performance Basic Theory and Practice
Technical Papers, PopularA cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which two fluids (air and water) are brought into direct contact with each other to affect the transfer of heat.

Cooling Tower Range
White PapersThe range is determined by the water flow rate and heat load at the exchanger in the process. The cooling tower is neither a heat sink nor heat source and thus the heat load is always constant.

Cooling Towers and Salt Water
White Papers, Technical PapersFor cooling tower service, any circulating water with more than 750 parts per million chloride expressed as NaCl is generally considered as salt water. However, the effects of chlorides will be much less severe at 750 ppm than they will at higher concentrations.

Corrosion Protection for Cooling Towers
White Papers, Technical PapersThe forces of corrosion (as the term is being used in this paper) are those elements or compounds whose natural tendency is to chemically or electrolytically react with a metal, given the opportunity and a proper set of circumstances.

External Influences on Cooling Tower Performance
White Papers, Technical PapersA cooling tower reacts much like a human being to its air supply. If it is caused to reinhale its own exhaust, it begins to smother. If that air supply is restricted, it begins to choke.

Fan Motor Overamping
White PapersOveramping occurs when the amperage drawn by the fan motor exceeds the fan motor nameplate amperage. In other words, more horsepower is required than the recommended maximum for the motor.
