Why Businesses Need Cooling Towers?

Why Businesses Need Cooling Towers?

Did you know that cooling towers are used in various industries to cool liquids and gases? They are often found in power plants, refineries, and petrochemical plants. Below, we will discuss what a cooling tower is, how they are used and what businesses may need a cooling tower.

What Is a Cooling Tower?

A cooling tower is a distinctive heat exchanger structure that removes heat from water on a massive scale. During operation, hot water comes in contact with the cold air, which cools down the water through evaporative and heat transfer. Cooling towers are designed as heat transfer systems, but contact between cold air and hot water also cools the water through evaporation. A cooling tower aims to cool hot water used by industrial processes like machines and HVAC systems.

How Is It Used?

The most common use for cooling towers is to remove heat from water-cooled chillers. In these systems, the water is circulated through a chiller, which removes heat from the process water or machinery coolant. The chilled water is then sent back to the cooling tower and cooled by contact with the air. The cooled water is then recirculated back to the chiller.

What Businesses Need Cooling Towers?

Any commercial setup that uses water-cooled chillers or HVAC systems will need a cooling tower. This includes those in various industries, such as power generation, manufacturing, food processing, shopping centers, and pharmaceuticals. Power plants, for example, use cooling towers to remove heat from the circulating water used to cool the steam turbines.

Small businesses use cooling towers to remove heat from the circulating water, and cool machinery, and equipment. Food processing businesses use cooling towers to remove heat from the circulating water, and cool food products. Clinics and pharmacies use cooling towers to constantly cool premises with pharmaceutical products.

Cooling towers are a critical component of many commercial cooling systems. They remove heat from water-cooled chillers, HVAC systems, and machinery. Without cooling towers, many businesses would not be able to operate.

FAQ

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.  

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!

  • Most common Boiler Issues

    - Boiler fails to ignite
    - Low pressure
    - Strange Noises
    - Boiler is not responding to the thermostat
    - Cold Radiators
    - Boiler leaking or dripping
    - Boiler cycling very fast
    - Available Hot water but No Heat
