Cooling Towers Efficiency Checklist to Reduce Water Usage

Cooling Towers Efficiency is paramount in industries that employ HVAC systems. By optimizing cooling tower efficiency, we not only increase the longevity of the system but also conserve water significantly. This checklist covers all aspects involved in achieving that efficiency, including fill media inspection, water distribution check, fan and drive assessment, basin condition verification, water treatment verification, drift eliminator inspection, air intake assessment, and water level control checks.
