Supplemental Cooling Tower Rentals
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.
There are two basic ways Aggreko provides 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 cooling 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 the best 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 come 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 process not only provides benefit to the isolated
exchanger(s), 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.
