04-11: Thorough Inspections Reduce Cooling Tower Mechanical and Performance ManualIdentification of cooling tower problems prior to resultant failures allows avoidance of unexpected major repair costs. Periodic inspections of mechanical and structural components by knowledgeable personnel are critical in maintaining and performance of the tower. By performing thorough annual inspections as described, corrective action can be initiated and repairs can be budgeted.

This paper describes how the application of a newly developed high cycle cooling water treatment program directly resulted in a substantial savings in water use and overall cooling water treatment costs while maintaining scale and corrosion control

In the majority of cooling towers

As with any new material

This new inhibitor performs well across a wide range of hardness conditions and pH values
