Project Description
According to The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Technical Manual, cooling tower cleaning and chlorination should be performed a minimum of twice a year. These towers require regular cleaning to remove dirt, pollen, dust, insects, and other debris that has built up over time. These contaminants not only affect energy efficiency but can cause a wide array of additional problems, as well, including:
- Microorganism Growth, which can cause under-deposit corrosion and premature basin failure.
- Water Treatment Costs can begin to skyrocket.
- Scale Deposits and algae can begin to grow inside the system, posing health risks to maintenance personnel.
As you can clearly see, regular cooling tower cleaning is important for several reasons. But that reason you care most about, the reason affecting your bottom line, is energy efficiency. You see, as calcium deposits grow, they begin to restrict and/or divert water and air flow, affecting the natural evaporation and efficiency of the cooling tower.
Unfortunately, cooling tower cleaning is often neglected or performed improperly. Cooling tower cleaning is a labor-intensive process that requires expertise, training, and specialized equipment. At Clear Air Enviro-Services, our service technicians have the experience and expertise to perform a wide range of maintenance services on your mechanical and HVAC equipment.
Regular cooling tower cleaning and maintenance is essential to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, and prolong cooling tower life. Therefore, we recommend a preventive maintenance plan. It will more than pay for itself in the long run.
Our customized HVAC preventive maintenance contracts help property management companies enhance their property’s value and retain tenants.
