ACTS Supplemental Cooling
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 and providing
you with the supplemental cooling you need.
Rental cooling towers can increase capacity when you need
it
Supplemental Cooling Through Diversion
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 temporary, 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 maximum results.
Aggreko’s temporary cooling towers feature a
unique elevated water basin that can supply up to 14 feet of
positive head. This 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
comes with operating a dual pumping system.
Supplemental Cooling Through Isolation
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 supplemental cooling process not only
provides benefit to the exchanger(s) that is isolated 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.
