Cooling Tower Maintenance

High quality, clean and regular air flow is critical for any commercial & industrial business. The latest evidence suggests an optimum working temperature of around 22°C (71.6F). This range allows for better levels of concentration, and all round well being. 

Environments that prove too warm can lead to low productivity, dissatisfied customers, or uncomfortable staff. Environments that prove too cold can present health and safety hazards especially in industrial settings; for example, the loss of grip whilst operating an industrial machine in a workshop can lead to the loss of a finger, or worse! Separately, faults affecting a tower’s ability to sanitise its airflow can risk the spread of bacteria and viruses, something of supreme importance during our recent pandemic. Regular declogging of built up dirt, fungus or sludge from a tower’s filtering system can greatly help with optimum hygiene.

At Alpha Electrics we place a heavy emphasis on prevention rather than cure, so the type of issues that typically plague a cooling tower can be easily prevented with regular inspection and maintenance programs. Regular maintenance keeps drive belts and bearings free of excessive wear and tear, and adds longevity to water seals preventing corrosion and water damage. 

Another service Alpha Electrics specialise in is improving a tower’s energy efficiency rating through usage (eg. varying the consumption levels of different floors of a building) with the use of IE3 efficiency motors and drives. We can replace older motors with more energy efficient ones helping your business energy efficient.
