Frequently Asked Questions

How does a cooling tower work?

The cooling tower works as a water-to-air heat exchanger in which the water mass is cooled by exchange with the ambient air.

In the case of cooling towers at open circuit, the direct encounter of air with process water allows a small amount of water to evaporate, and the remaining part to cool to a lower temperature, which will be recirculated in the industrial process.

In closed-circuit cooling towers, while still relying on the principle of evaporative cooling, process water remains inside a heat exchanger without coming into contact with ambient air, thus remaining free from possible contamination.

By performing proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooling tower, the proliferation of bacteria, including Legionella, can be prevented. High water temperature inside the system and humidity can result in the proliferation of bacteria that are very dangerous to humans. Good maintenance and appropriate water treatment programs help preserve the cooling tower and keep it safe and efficient in performance.

Choosing original components in cooling towers ensures the proper operation of the equipment over time, while ensuring the thermal performance provided at the design stage. Original spare parts make it possible to:

  • Reduce the downtime of the cooling tower/evaporative condenser;
  • Maintaining predetermined performance;
  • Reliability and safety of equipment;
  • Improved performance.
