After many years of operation, cooling towers may require more than routine maintenance and component replacement to achieve the thermal performance necessary to support plant processes. In addition to achieving proper thermal performance, plants also must address the...
The next generation of factory-assembled cooling towers can be delivered up to 60 percent faster than field-erected towers and installed 80 percent faster. Recent developments in factory-assembled cooling tower technology are increasing the applications for...
When water flow is temporarily suspended, as in the event of a fire, some cooling towers that contain combustible materials and dry areas may be at risk. Some organizations practice loss prevention by considering an FM APPROVED cooling tower to potentially reduce...
When planning and evaluating a cooling tower repair and maintenance program, few cooling tower owners and operators conduct a thorough economic evaluation. And while simple repairs and modifications can be done at minimal expense, more extensive cooling tower...
Heavy industrial applications such as manufacturing, chemical processing and oil-and-gas refining use cooling towers and other equipment to cool the water integral to their operations. As environmental regulations and challenging market conditions place higher demands...
Gearboxes are used as speed reducers to slow rotational speed from the incoming motor to the outgoing fan of a cooling tower. Industries that require process heat rejection often use field-erected cooling towers to keep pace with their heat load. Cooling towers have...
