It’s been a warm winter. When will you need to use your cooling systems? Whether you have cooling towers, heat exchanger coils or roof top air handling units, the time to start thinking about spring cleaning is now.
Think back to last season. Did you have any problems or challenges with your systems? They haven’t gotten any better over the winter. Make sure your systems are working at peak performance; it is a necessary part of your process and system optimization.
Cleaning cooling towers and associated cooling systems reduces the build-up of accumulated nutrients, airborne dirt and debris. In addition, water that contains salts such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate are less soluble in hot water than they are in cold. These deposits, along with the scum that accumulates in cooling systems, can drastically reduce the efficiency, which could affect production processes and chiller operations.
Fouled cooling towers and systems have been shown to reduce efficiency by 40% to 50%. To keep them performing efficiently your cooling towers should be cleaned twice a year, in the fall at the end of the operational season, and again in the spring before being placed back into service.
