Going to School on Long-term Cooling Tower Solutions
With cooling tower technologies advancing, customers research new advancements
When the time comes to replace a cooling tower, all too often the recommendation is to source an identical replacement, which is ironic because most people wouldn’t settle for old, outdated technology when buying a TV or cell phone. The same logic holds true for HVAC equipment. With cooling tower technologies constantly advancing, it makes sense to research what cutting-edge options offer the biggest return on your investment.
Recently, two institutions received some valuable lessons on cooling tower systems that helped them avoid selecting troublesome technologies in favor of new innovative solutions that provide a much longer service life along with significant, ongoing operational savings. A first-hand examination of the manufacturing process for engineered plastic convinced both buyers to opt out of the repeated cycle of buying metal, and instead choose cooling towers constructed out of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
