Supplemental Cooling Tower
Rentals
Productivity can suffer due to the limited capacity of permanent
cooling towers, especially during the hot summer months. Aggreko’s
temporary cooling towers can be used along with
your permanent cooling towers to increase capacity and reduce cold
water temperatures, keeping productivity at maximum levels.
There are two basic ways Aggreko provides supplemental
cooling. The first way to augment cooling tower capacity
is by diverting a portion of the hot water from the primary cooling
tower, sending it to the rental tower(s) where it is then cooled
and redeposited into the cold water basin of the primary tower.
The second way Aggreko provides supplemental cooling is by
isolating a particular exchanger or group of exchangers from the
primary cooling tower and placing it on a rental tower(s) that is
sized specifically to achieve the ideal temperatures. When a
particular exchanger, or group of exchangers, is limited by
temperatures and water flow, temporary cooling towers can supply
the cool water needed for optimum performance. ACTS can isolate
those units and complement them with temporary cooling
towers so that the lack of cool water is not an issue.
This process not only provides benefit to the isolated
exchanger(s), but, by reducing the heat load and water flow
requirements of the primary cooling tower and pumps, the water
temperature to the remaining exchanger(s) is reduced and water
flows are improved, achieving a more desirable operating
condition.
