Foaming Problem in Cooling Tower

A cooling tower in the operational stage come across lots of issue which need to be attended immediately. One common query is 'foaming'.  The foaming can be caused by the concentrations of certain combinations of dissolved solids, or by the contamination of the circulating water with foam-causing compounds. This type of foaming is often alleviated by increasing the rate of blowdown.

In extreme cases, foam depressant chemicals must be added to the system, which can be availed from a number of chemical suppliers'. 

Now, one must be careful while buying chemical for cooling tower. Often poor quality chemicals result in long-term consequences.

Meanwhile, Cooling Tower Manufacturers mentioned that combination of foaming and discolored water can result in discharge of the fan cylinders. In such cases, operation of the fans should be avoided until the foaming is controlled.

It is advisable to seek suggestions before taking any action. You may ask our experts at info@casepl.com

Tips to Save Electricity During Cooling Tower Use

Do you know, your cooling tower can show great saving in the annual electricity bill? Yes, a well-

maintained cooling tower will continue to function with optimum energy efficiency. It will consume less electricity will giving high-end performance all the year round.

Take a note at the following tips to make your cooling tower efficient for saving electric energy.

• Keep the interior of cooling tower clean by removing debris from strainers.
• Inspect the overall condition of the tower and check, if, any uncommon noise is establishing.
• Check water distribution system and dry areas over the fill coil sections. Sometime, scale formation takes places in the dry space which decrease the system capacity.
• Clean dirt from the cold water basin to maintain water filtration. Experts says that installing basin sweeper piping in addition to filtration system will function as automatic maintenance.
• Check water supply for appropriate water level and to conserve water.
• Inspect if there is problem on the belt and ensure optimal belt-drive system performance.
• It is necessary to lubricate fan shaft bearings every three months. This helps to maintain proper operation. As per expert reviews, installing automatic bearing greasers an eliminate monthly maintenance cost.
• Check oil level, oil quality and shaft alignment at regular interval of time.
• Use cooling towers with multi-cell provision.
• Last but not the least, be sure to follow proper lock-out procedures and disconnect motor switches before beginning any work.
