Indiana State Graduates to Engineered Plastic Cooling Towers
Universities and colleges are seeing dramatically rising costs on every front. One of the areas where overhead can be contained or reduced is in the operation of the chilled water systems that support air conditioning throughout college campuses, specifically the cooling towers.
Some colleges are upgrading their cooling towers from the conventional designs constructed with galvanized steel-sheeted shells to models based on shells constructed of engineered plastics. These newer designs, particularly those constructed with seamless, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shells, have been designed to require less maintenance, be more energy efficient, and reduce costly downtime.
