10 Tips for Easy Maintenance of Cooling Towers

A well-maintained car can save fuel, and a well-maintained cooling tower can also save on electricity bills. According to calculations, well-maintained equipment can save up to 15% on electricity bills compared to unmaintained equipment. You can save energy by following the 10 simple maintenance tips that have been summed up by our manufacturers for many years of practical experience. The principle of energy-saving electricity bills is that the cooling effect of the cooling tower that ignores maintenance will decrease due to various factors, resulting in an increase in the outlet water temperature. Every time the outlet water temperature increases by 1°C, it will re-enter the entire circulation system, which will increase by 6%. . Maintaining equipment so that cooling towers operate at their original optimal efficiency will keep power and water running low and increase the overall life of the cooling equipment.

Follow these 10 simple maintenance tips to keep your cooling equipment running efficiently.

1. Check the overall condition of the equipment and listen for abnormal noises to eliminate any potential hidden dangers.

2. Before starting any operation, be sure to follow the correct procedures, and disconnect the power switch of the motor for maintenance to ensure the safety of the operator.

3. Check and clean up debris and debris at the inlet and outlet to ensure that the entire circulating water system does not contain impurities and blockages

4. Check the water distribution system, check the area of some vendors of the packing coil, and clean up if there is scale scaling, so as not to increase the burden of the system due to scaling. If the area is not fully wet, check the water distribution system for cracks and blockages.

5. Clean up the dirt and sundries in the bottom basin, and discharge the sewage regularly to ensure that it follows. You can also choose to install a filter system, which can reduce the workload of cleaning.

6. Check whether the amount of water distribution is sufficient to see if it can reach the predetermined water level. After doing it well, it can save water and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

7. Check the fan reducer belt, and solve any tension problems to ensure the best performance of the belt drive system.

8. Check the bearing rotation of the transmission system according to the manufacturer's requirements. It is recommended to replace the fan bearing lubricating oil every three months to ensure normal operation and prolong service life. Equipment that automatically adds bearing oil can also be installed, which reduces bearing maintenance.

9. The maintenance frequency of the cooling tower depends on the circulating water condition and the working environment. Good maintenance habits will keep the equipment in good condition and prolong the life of the equipment.

10. Having key components in the warehouse can also reduce downtime in emergency situations (such as cooling tower motors, cooling tower pumps).
