Vibration isolators are used with cooling towers as a method to reduce the transmission of vibration, produced by rotating mechanical equipment or water flow, into or within a building structure.
Pump Flow vs. Gravity Flow
Is the cooling tower operating on pump flow or gravity flow? This question is often misunderstood and sometimes results in hydraulic or scope issues that could have been easily avoided.
Fluid Cooler Cold Weather Operation
Preparing a fluid cooler for cold weather operation or shutdown season is similar to an open cooling tower, but with additional requirements. This paper discusses special considerations needed for cold weather operation and freeze protection for fluid coolers.
Basin Heater Steam Injection
Penberthy NWH bronze steam jet heaters are available for freeze protection (installation by others) in cooling tower cold water basins.
Sound Power Impacts per CTI Code Revision
The most common code for measuring and reporting cooling tower sound in North America is Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) ATC-128, Test Code for Measurement of Sound from Water-Cooling Towers.
