What storms do to cooling towers
High winds, flying debris and flood water can take a cooling tower out of service in a single night.
Fan decks and fan stacks
High winds can blow fan decks and fan stacks off the tower, leaving cells unable to move air.
Damaged fill
Wind and debris can damage or dislodge fill, so the tower can’t reject as much heat.
Flooded motors and pumps
Flood water can reach fan motors and circulation pumps, putting them out of service.
Power loss
Without power, fans and pumps stop, and your cooling water stops with them.
Temporary cooling bridges the gap
Rental Towers, Pumps, Heat Exchangers carry the load while the permanent tower is repaired.
Replacement parts after the storm
Get the parts that hurricanes break most, without waiting on long lead times.
Critical parts on hand
We stock a substantial inventory of the most critical parts needed to keep large cooling towers up and running: fan stacks, gearboxes, motors and structural FRP parts. These are the parts that can suffer long lead times, which is exactly when you can’t afford to wait.
