Cooling Tower Safety and Maintenance

Every technician who works around cooling towers knows the risks aren’t always obvious. Slippery platforms, chemical fumes, or a missed lockout step, any of these can cause serious injury if safety precautions aren’t part of the daily routine. Add poor maintenance to the mix, and you’re not putting workers at risk; you’re also cutting the […]

How to Choose the Right Cooling Tower Filtration

When maintained correctly, a cooling tower filtration system cleans water, helps your equipment last longer, perform better, and reduces maintenance costs. But poor filtration can lead to scaling, algae growth, and clogs that slow everything down or, worse, cause unexpected downtime. A 2024 case study found that installing a side-stream filtration system in a thermoplastics […]

Cooling Tower Preventive Maintenance Checklist

Cooling towers not only support HVAC but also contribute to safety, uptime, and regulatory compliance. When neglected, they can turn into breeding grounds for bacteria, corrosion, and mechanical issues that affect the whole facility. A 2024 CDC report revealed that 85% of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks linked to cooling towers were due to preventable maintenance lapses, […]

Understanding Cooling Tower Parts and How They Function

A cooling tower looks like a single unit, but inside, it’s a collection of parts working in sync. Each part helps move air, circulate water, and remove heat. When cooling tower components work together, the system stays efficient and reliable. If you’re in charge of keeping things running, it’s worth knowing how cooling tower parts […]

How Often Should Cooling Towers Be Inspected?

Cooling towers control temperatures and maintain efficiency, not just in industrial facilities, but also residential and commercial buildings. Regular checks and maintenance helps keep everything running smoothly, safely, and in compliance with regulations. With proactive cooling tower maintenance, you can boost your system’s energy efficiency by 5–10%. And inspections are an important aspect of this […]

7 Steps to Better Cooling Tower Descaling

As water flows through the cooling towers, minerals settle and create scale on internal surfaces, which can reduce efficiency. This scale can reduce efficiency, damage parts, and impact air and water quality. Descaling keeps your system running longer, more efficiently, and safer for everyone around it. A 2024 study published in Frontiers in Water found […]

How Do Forced Draft Cooling Towers Work?

Keeping industrial systems cool is important for safe and smooth operation. This job often depends on one piece of equipment that does not get much attention: the cooling tower.  You will typically find it in power plants, HVAC systems, and food processing sites. One type of cooling tower that works especially well in these settings […]

How Do Crossflow Cooling Towers Work?

Although not silently, cooling towers do work in the background, keeping your systems from overheating. However, not all cooling towers are created equal. While some systems can work without breaking the bank, others can be energy hogs, burning through power just to stay running. When that happens, your energy bills go through the roof, and […]
