The sump pump float switch was designed to be used within basements, and many homes equipped them. A sump pit is a basin or container which collects the water that enters the home in the event a flood occurs. The sump pump is alerted by the float switch which causes it to begin pumping the…
Two of the most common reasons for cooling tower immersion heater failure: Immersion Heaters with Stainless Steel elements are awesome, but if exposed to high concentrations of cleaning agents which typically contain chlorine, once the elements are energized the corrosive nature of chlorine may rapidly accelerate corrosion to the elements and shorten the life of…
Different types of cooling towers are designed for different types of purposes. Each individual type of cooling tower is made for a different application or industrial process. In this article, we will discover the different types of cooling towers and what type of applications for each cooling tower is made for. Let’s start by examining,…
Constantly keeping tabs on the condition of your cooling towers is a great way to avoid and sort of component failure or neglected degradation. Doing this will also set baselines for the behavior of your tower so you can set up more efficient maintenance schedules that can significantly reduce interruptions to your daily operations. Whenever…
Closed circuit cooling towers are commonly known as evaporative fluid coolers. These towers will keep your system cool and contaminant-free thanks to its closed loop. Within this model, two separate fluid circuits are created, which results in spray water mixing with outside air. Closed Circuit Cooling Tower Operation With a similar operation to open cooling…
Dry cooling towers differ from many traditional cooling applications in several ways. What Are Cooling Towers? Simply put, a cooling tower is a device that rejects heat. It takes in heat and puts that air into the atmosphere at a much cooler temperature, thanks to the cooling process of a water stream. You will generally find these…
On average, a cooling tower replacement costs $125,000 in the year 2022. Typical full replacements range from $50,000-$200,000. How Much Does A Cooling Tower Cost? Here are a few of the typical costs associated with cooling towers: Blowdown system: $30,000 Feeder water system: $50,000-$250,000 Circulation water system: $50,000-$300,000 Blowdown System Cost On…
Often placed atop a large building, cooling towers operate as large-scale heat exchangers. These models will blow air across coils to remove heat. Meanwhile, chillers are large pieces of industrial equipment found within a building. How Do Cooling Towers And Chillers Work Together? Together, both chillers and cooling towers make it possible to condition…
There are many similarities and differences between forced and induced draft cooling towers. To figure out which application is best for your industry, follow our guide below. Forced Draft Cooling Towers Industrial plants and factories continually opt for these cooling tower models for their many benefits. These towers remove low-potential heat that is generated…
What are the similarities and differences between crossflow and counterflow cooling towers? Let’s take a look! Crossflow Cooling Towers A crossflow cooling tower, because of its design, makes the hot process water flow down the fill media due to the force of gravity. This occurs while the air blows horizontally across the falling water, which…
