Dirty cooling towers can cause a massive loss of efficiency for your HVAC system. Scale build-up in your cooling tower fill will limit the cooling effect, putting a strain on your entire system. Plus, the accumulation of debris, bacteria and other organics in your cooling tower basin can adversely affect your chiller’s performance, requiring frequent cleanings to maintain optimal efficiency and keep energy costs down.
However, a dirty basin can cause more challenges, as it can also cause severe health issues for anyone within proximity. Studies have shown that microdroplets from cooling towers are known to travel up to 5 miles, which means that any visitor within that proximity could be exposed to dangerous bacteria. Cleaning towers of legionella breeding sludge is a smart, simple way to limit bacterial growth.
The Goodway® CTV-1501 cooling tower vacuum allows operators to quickly remove mud, silt and debris from cooling tower basins, reducing the environment where bacteria, like legionella, thrive.
