Air flows horizontally across the rooftop. You might not see it, but it’s doing the heavy lifting: helping keep every floor inside cool and steady.  At the heart of that work in modern commercial buildings are HVAC cooling towers, quietly rejecting heat so chillers don’t run flat out. In fact, in commercial buildings today, HVAC […]

HVAC cooling towers play a vital role in regulating building temperatures and protecting critical equipment. However, the discharge practices used during cleaning and blowdown cycles are often overlooked, despite their potential to trigger compliance issues and environmental harm. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through the Clean Water Act, requires facilities to treat and discharge […]

A cooling tower is only as efficient as the water running through it. Think of it as the system’s bloodstream: when it’s contaminated, everything downstream suffers. Untreated water can quietly wreck performance through scaling, corrosion, and microbial growth. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that improving water cycles of concentration (from three to six) can […]

A typical industrial cooling tower can circulate tens of thousands of gallons of water every day. As water circulates through these towers, it collects minerals, dirt, and biological growth that can lower efficiency and contribute to corrosion.  By the time cleaning is due, that water has become heavily contaminated, which needs to be drained and […]

Whether you maintain one of the skyscrapers overlooking Manhattan’s skyline or an industrial plant in Pittsburgh, all of them have one thing in common: cooling towers. Using the principle of heat transfer, these systems maintain the desired temperature in your facility.  But without regular cleaning, cooling towers can’t run efficiently and safely. Regular cleaning keeps […]

Cooling towers are the beating heart of many industrial and commercial systems, including HVAC systems. Most cooling systems rely on water for heat transfer because it’s one of the best and readily available media.  But have you ever wondered what keeps the water in your cooling tower clean and functioning properly? That’s where cooling tower […]

Cooling tower performance directly affects air conditioning and process cooling, which can make or break operations in manufacturing, healthcare, commercial real estate, and countless other industries.  With energy costs climbing and regulations getting stricter, you’ve to look closely at your cooling tower repair or replacement options. The wrong choice can mean longer downtime and repeated […]

Cooling towers are the perfect breeding ground for algae, with warm water, constant moisture, and sunlight. Besides looking bad, algae growth can lower your system’s cooling efficiency, clog pipes, lead to corrosion, and increase the risk of harmful bacteria like Legionella. But you can help stop algae before it spreads with a simple cooling tower […]

From homeowners to warehouse managers, people are choosing evaporative cooling towers. These devices are an energy-efficient alternative to conventional air conditioning, particularly in dry, hot areas where air conditioners typically struggle. In the right settings, evaporative coolers can use 50% to 75% less energy than standard AC units. They help lower both costs and your […]

Cooling tower maintenance isn’t just about avoiding breakdowns. It can lower your monthly energy and water bills while extending the life of your equipment. Whether you’re running the HVAC system for an office complex or managing a factory, timely maintenance can make a noticeable impact. For example, cleaning debris from the fill and basin, treating […]
