Cooling Towers & Evaporative Condensers.

Cooling towers and evaporative condensers are used to remove excess heat from a cooling system when the heat cannot be utilised for other purposes, with the excess heat removed by evaporating water.

Often “out of sight, out of mind” in remote areas of the site or on the roof, they are critical process assets where failures can have significant impact on energy consumption, site operations or control of L8. Whilst relatively simple, the fans and motors operate in a wet environment exposed to the weather, and traditional condition monitoring techniques are unsuitable.

Maintenance

Monitor leading indicators of failure:

  • Current & Torque: Drive and Gearbox loading
  • Vibration: Lubrication failure, bearing wear and asset movement & stability

Indicative Savings.

Energy

A Degradation in the heat transfer efficiency of the cooling tower will directly impact energy consumption of the heat source. Due to the wide range of potential loads on a cooling tower, you cannot quote a typical saving.

Maintenance

Due to the wide variation of cooling tower and evaporative condenser types and deployments, indicative estimates of maintenance cost savings are difficult to create
