Top Reasons To Conduct Regular Cooling Tower Inspections

June 20, 2022, by Tower Water

They function as heat exchangers, helping water stay cool while managing the proper functioning of the building’s air conditioning system.

If you want to optimize your cooling tower’s performance, it is essential to maintain it on a regular schedule. This ensures the cooling tower’s longevity and performance efficiency.

What is a Cooling Tower?

A cooling tower uses water and vapor to maintain the temperature of cold-environment machinery. Many industrial cooling towers remove heat from water by evaporating some of the water that circulates through the unit.

For a cooling tower to work and enjoy a long lifespan, they need proper maintenance. Cooling towers are used due to their electrical efficiency and small footprint producing massive heat transfer in a small space with low energy requirements. Because these units are giant air scrubbers and operate at the perfect temperature to breed bacteria and can affect health and safety to those around them. Therefore it is unwise to neglect regular maintenance and inspections.

There are many benefits to putting your cooling tower on a regular maintenance schedule. Below, we explain several of them.

Create a Detailed Update of the Status of the Machinery

If you don’t conduct regular cooling tower inspections, it’s likely that you have no information about the tower’s status, performance, and maintenance needs. The first thing a cooling tower inspector will do is create a detailed report about the cooling tower’s cleanliness, and functional status, so you can be up to date on its current state and overall mechanical health.

Prevent Harmful Bacteria Buildup

Legionella and other harmful, water-borne bacteria can become a grave danger to an infected cooling tower. Performing routine maintenance, cleaning and inspections can prevent bacterial infestations. Likewise, routine maintenance can ensure that you find evidence of bacteria before it propagates and becomes a major health hazard.

Improve Lifespan

If a cooling tower is neglected, its function can degrade over time. As a result, the cooling tower’s operational lifespan shortens. This can cost thousands of dollars in repairs. Moreover, it can result in a total cooling tower replacement. Regular inspections can ensure that proper protocols are followed and necessary services are kept up with.

Increase Efficiency

Inspections ensure that a cooling tower is able to run at peak performance. Removing blockages, performing repairs and cleaning machinery components will optimize the cooling tower’s functionality. A professional cooling tower inspector understands how these towers work and look for ways to maximize efficiency – and save you money.

Maintain Compliance

Cooling towers must be compliant with all government guidelines and regulations.These regulations are put in place in order to protect individuals who work inside these facilities, and prevent excessive bacteria and other malfunctions that can damage the facility or impact water quality and safety. Routine inspections make it easier to keep your cooling tower compliant.

Use Regular Inspections to Save Money and Operate More Efficiently

This will not only ensure the health and safety of everyone involved in your business or operation, but it will also help to save you thousands in repairs, fines, and maintenance costs in the long run.
