Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Cooling Towers by Lekwa Cooling Tower Services
Cooling tower maintenance is crucial to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the cooling system. It helps prevent issues such as scaling, corrosion, and biological growth, which can compromise performance and lead to costly repairs.
The frequency of cooling tower maintenance depends on factors such as the type of cooling tower, environmental conditions, and usage. However, as a general guideline, regular preventative maintenance should be performed at least twice a year.
Cleaning involves the removal of debris, scale, and biological growth from various components such as water distribution piping, sprayers, drift eliminators, air inlet louvres, and fill. This ensures optimal heat exchange and prevents blockages.
Mechanical services may include the refurbishment or replacement of impellers, electric motors, gearboxes, shafts, and v-belts. These components are critical for the mechanical functioning of the cooling tower.
Many cooling towers have components made of glass reinforced plastic (GRP). Repairing and maintaining these components are essential to preserving the structural integrity of the cooling tower and preventing issues like leaks.
Signs of potential issues include reduced heat exchange efficiency, unusual noises, visible corrosion, or increased water consumption. If any of these signs are observed, it is advisable to schedule maintenance promptly.
