Cooling Tower Cleaning / Inspection
Restore your system’s pipes to a like new condition on the inside. Regular plumbing pipes stay relatively clean on the inside because the water flow helps prevent build up of corrosive minerals and substances. The piping system in a cooling tower, though, often carry steam or mist particularly in a commercial evaporative cooling system. When the water evaporates it leaves behind any minerals or impurities that cannot convert to a gaseous state. These impurities settle to low points in your pipes or cling to the pipe walls in the form of a rocky build up. Basically, miniature stalactites, just like those found in caves, are forming in your pipes. This reduces your system’s efficiency in several ways. Water flow through the pipes is slowed, the thicker pipe walls do not exchange heat as well and this mineral build up can also corrode your pipes. The Energy Options crew can negate this process with a thorough cleaning call.
Cooling Tower Repairs and Maintenance
Reduce your overall repair and maintenance costs by arranging for a detailed on site inspection to identify potential problems before they cause money wasting breakdowns. A less dramatic, but no less important, result of inspections is the identification of all of the small things, the overlooked factors, that combine to rob your system of overall efficiency. A second strategy is to schedule a thorough cleaning. Over time, mineral deposits and sediment can gather in your pipes. This reduces the amount of fluid that can move through your system and robs its efficiency. This also makes your system less efficient by thickening the walls of your cooling pipes with calcified deposits that insulate against the heat exchange. Finally, by upgrading certain systems you can help your system run better. Adding a cooling tower sand filter like a PEP media filter, for example, will decrease the amount of impurities in the water supply and slow the mineral deposit formation.
