ACTS Supplemental Cooling
Rental cooling towers can increase capacity and reduce cold
water temps
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 and providing you with the supplemental cooling you
need.
Two Ways Aggreko Can Provide 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.
Our experienced technical sales personal are
equipped with the necessary software to model the performance of
the existing tower and precisely determine the amount of
augmentation required to achieve the desired results. The
water and thermal balance between the primary and rental cooling
towers are crucial to achieving maximum results.
Aggreko’s unique elevated water basin can
supply up to 14 feet of positive head that allows us to return the
cooled water to the basin of the primary cooling tower without the
need for additional pumping or the balancing and reliability
nightmares that comes with operating a dual pumping system.
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 supplemental cooling process not only
provides benefit to the exchanger(s) that is isolated 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.
