Three Important Parameters for Cooling Tower Water Treatment

Cooling towers are designed to reject heat from HVAC equipment and industrial plant machinery by utilising water. Therefore, proper water treatment is essential for this cooling device to operate efficiently. In addition, this practice will prevent degradation of the cooling tower components and ensure longevity. Generally, there are different elements which affect the water quality in a cooling tower, and these must be evaluated when creating an ideal maintenance program or system. Read More 

Concrete Cutting: Understanding Factors Affecting Blade Longevity
