A smart way of spending in any technology is to do the homework nicely. HVAC systems are designed to offer utmost comfort in harsh conditions, so as cooling towers. They were designed with a motive to uproot discomfort in industrial units but due to some setbacks they may fall under “less-efficient” category. Never compromise while bidding on experienced company. Artech Cooling Towers is a renowned Cooling Towers Manufacturer, working along supreme quality installation. This is a small attempt to catch up maximum issues and their way out. 



Corrosion:
Corrosion in the cooling tower can be an environmental effect or intense toxins usage. Sooner or later corrosion set-up its place and start diminishing the structural strength of the tower along with working capability of the machinery. If not taken care at primary stage corrosion may get worse. There'll be substantial need of replacement than repairing and might lead to operational errors. Small factors like water leakage or overflow can trigger corrosion. 
Regular inspection can be a sure shot solution to it. It helps in addressing problems at initial stage. If needed, polymeric coating can do wonders. 

Scaling:
These are the hard deposits that are leftover compounds (calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium silicate and silica) of water turned vapour. It can damage the piping and internal surface of the heat exchanger. Water treatment, pH control and chemical scale inhibitors can be the ideal ways to fight back scaling

Fouling:
Accumulation of dust, dirt, debris and other unwanted materials is known as Fouling. It can lead to efficiency reduction, system damage and high energy consumption. Collectively can say, it will increase expenses. 
Water treatment, chemical dispersants usage, side-stream filtration and periodic blow down are effectively measures to control fouling. 

Microbiological Contamination:
Warm environment is ideal for microorganisms to breed and grow. These microbes enters into the system either by air or make-up water. This is harmful for the cooling tower as well as human health. The chemical and microbiological analysis helps in detecting microbes’ presence so that they can be removed.
