Take care to avoid these scenarios and we promise that everyone (from your equipment suppliers to your chemical treatment specialist) will be much happier.Įvery cooling tower has a minimum flow requirement, which is defined by the allowable turndown. We’ve touched on all of these in the previous blogs, but we see them so often and the consequences can be so profound that each bears a final warning.
We’ve finally reached the end of our cooling tower series! But before we leave the topic behind we thought it would be a good idea to review some of the most common pitfalls in cooling tower/condenser water design and how to avoid them.
