An improperly maintained cooling tower will produce warmer cooling water, resulting in a condenser temperature 5-10 F higher than a properly maintained tower – reducing efficiency and reliability of the chiller while wasting energy, increasing costs, and shortening tower operating life. Many power plant operators tend to overlook the importance…

HVAC is the abbreviated term for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning and finds its use in environments where humidity and temperature must be closely regulated while providing safe and healthy working conditions. HVAC operates on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. In order to maintain comfortable…
