How to Order Replacement Parts for an Older Cooling Tower An older cooling tower can remain useful long after its original part numbers disappear from current catalogues. The difficulty begins when a facility manager needs fill, drift eliminators, louvers, nozzles or another component and the equipment nameplate is faded, incomplete or tied to a…
Cooling tower fill media does a large share of the heat transfer work inside a tower. It spreads circulating water across a greater surface area so air and water can interact more effectively. When the fill becomes blocked, brittle or distorted, the tower may continue running while delivering less cooling and using more energy. Replacement…
Cooling towers do not get much of a break in Arizona during July. By the time a facility manager notices poor cooling, unusual noise, overflow, poor water flow, or higher operating costs, the tower may have been struggling for weeks. Most cooling tower problems do not begin with one dramatic failure. They usually start…
Summer is when small cooling tower problems tend to show themselves. A tower may run well enough in mild weather, then struggle once the heat load goes up and the system has to work harder for longer hours. That is why June is a good time for facility managers, building owners, plant operators, and maintenance…
Cooling tower louvers are easy to overlook. They are not the biggest part of the tower, and they are not usually the first thing anyone asks about. But when they start cracking, sagging, clogging, or disappearing altogether, the tower can become harder to manage. Louvers help guide air into the tower. They also reduce splash…
If you own or manage a commercial property in Arizona, it is fair to ask how long a cooling tower should really last. The honest answer is that most cooling towers average about 15 to 20 years, but that number is not set in stone. In Arizona, some towers wear out sooner because the climate…
Cooling towers are a piece of equipment that many buildings use every day, but they don’t attract much attention unless something goes wrong. Your cooling tower is always working to remove heat and keep systems functioning smoothly, whether you own an industrial plant, a commercial building, or a manufacturing facility. Cooling towers move a lot…
Cooling towers have a hard task. They have to work for long hours, frequently in tough conditions, and they have to do it every year without fail. The truth is that most major cooling tower issues don’t emerge all at once; they happen slowly when normal maintenance is put off or missed. One of the…
Cooling towers are still quite important for many businesses, factories, and commercial buildings, especially those that use a lot of energy and are in hot areas. As we get closer to 2026, the prices of cooling towers will alter based on new materials, efficiency regulations, labor costs, and the need for long-term maintenance. Average Cooling…
What Are Air Intake Louvers and Why Are They Important? Air intake louvers are the slatted panels that you can find on the air inlet holes of a cooling tower. In theory, their job is easy: they let air into the tower in a way that is both efficient and under control. In real life,…
