Cooling Tower
Cooling water is used in beverage manufacturing to dissipate heat from air compressors, chillers, and heat-intensive processes throughout the plant.
Cooling towers are crucial for removing this unwanted heat, ensuring efficient operation. They work by transferring heat to the atmosphere through a combination of convection and evaporation.
Typical concerns that plants have regarding cooling tower operations include
- Scaling, deposition and microbiological growth which decreases heat transfer efficiency, restricts water flow and causes equipment corrosion
- Higher energy consumption
- Mechanical failures of motors, fans and pumps
- Water loss and increased makeup water consumption
Our Solution:
The holistic solution from Forbes Marshall encompasses
TDS based blow down control and pH monitoring and dosing to precisely maintain water quality, eliminating issues that cause corrosion, scaling and deposition.
Optimised blowdown also helps reduce water loss.
Flow monitoring and control of makeup and process water.
Level based makeup water control further helps to optimise water consumption.
Level based makeup water control further helps to optimise water consumption.
Water temperature and delta based control of the cooling tower fan and cooling water pumps not only ensures that process requirements are achieved but also helps reduce cooling tower electrical consumption.
Vibration monitoring system for motors and pumps helps capture anomalies in operation providing valuable timely information to help prevent unplanned downtime by facilitating effective preventive and predictive maintenance.
