Systematic and thorough attention to the fan and motor assemblies is essential to avoid the unexpected interruption of service. Most catastrophic system failures are easily avoidable because they are linked to a negligent lack of maintenance. Evaporative cooling equipment, like a mechanical unit of machinery, requires preventative maintenance to maximize its utility. Simple maintenance procedures provide enormous benefits to connected systems and equipment, manufacturing processes and plant personnel. Benefits include the reduction of operating costs, downtime and capital expenses as well as

Commercial contractors utilize alternative technology in today’s buildings It is estimated that HVAC systems account for approximately 40 percent of the energy used in commercial buildings, which is why many building owners and managers are looking for ways to cut these costs. One way to do that may be to utilize evaporative cooling systems, which can be relatively inexpensive to purchase and often require much less energy than other forms of cooling. Evaporative cooling technology is already becoming more integrated in data centers, thanks to revised design guidelines from ASHRAE, but coolers

The approach of summer is a good time to check the performance and, more importantly, the physical condition of your cooling towers. After all, it’s easier to repair a tower when weather conditions don’t put a strain on its cooling capacity. A cooling tower passes air over tiny droplets or the exposed surface of a water film. In both cases, a small amount of water is vaporized, drawing the latent heat from the remaining liquid water, reducing its temperature. Splash fill continuously breaks up droplets of water dropping down the tower; the fill is arranged so the droplets fall from one splash
