Cooling Tower Long Term Storage
Library, White Papers When placing a cooling tower into long term storage (generally considered one month or longer) there are some basic but critical maintenance steps.

Visible plume is a cloud of pure water vapor produced by a cooling tower. It occurs when warm, moist discharge air is cooled by the ambient air.
Crossflow vs. Counterflow Cooling Towers
Library, White Papers Crossflow and counterflow are two ways to describe how air moving through a cooling tower interacts with the process water being cooled and their fundamental differences.

It is critical to the operational life of a transmission to utilize a satisfactory lubricant that includes the correct viscosity grade and additives.
Cooling Tower Component Storage – Prior to Assembly
Library, White Papers These storage guidelines are for field-erected cooling towers and other “knockdown” (KD) cooling towers to be stored at the jobsite beyond three weeks before being assembled.
Cooling Tower Performance – Drift
Library, White Papers All evaporative cooling products, where air and water come into direct contact, experience some level of drift. Drift is defined as liquid water droplets from the recirculating flow entrained in the discharge air stream.

Water consumed by cooling towers due to evaporation, drift and blowdown can be a concern.
Variable Flow over Cooling Towers
Library, White Papers There may be significant energy savings opportunities if the cooling tower can be operated under variable flow in off-peak conditions. Variable flow is a way to maximize the effectiveness of the installed tower capacity for whatever flow the process has.

Maintenance procedures that prevent amplification and dissemination of Legionella and other airborne bacteria should be formulated and implemented BEFORE systems are operated and continued regularly thereafter to avoid the risk of sickness or death.
