Decsa Service carried out intensive extraordinary maintenance on two of the cooling towers installed at the Palermo Airport.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Decsa Service carried out an intensive extraordinary maintenance intervention on two cooling towers installed at Palermo Airport. Effective and regular ordinary maintenance, combined with timely and targeted extraordinary maintenance activities for cooling towers, plays a fundamental role in ensuring long-term reliability, efficiency, and optimal performance of cooling equipment. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is clearly demonstrated by the Cofinair by Decsa cooling towers installed at the \u201cFalcone Borsellino\u201d Airport in Palermo, where three units of the TVA 34-510 cooling tower model are currently operating. While the most recent unit was purchased and installed in 2023, the other two cooling towers date back to 2014. Despite more than ten years of continuous operation, these units continue to perform their cooling function efficiently, thanks also to the constant preventive maintenance activities carried out over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
