Inspection
The reconstruction process begins
with a thorough inspection of your
tower. These inspections ascertain the
current condition of your cooling tower
and identify operational and structural
problems. Recommendations are made
in regard to the scope of work, including
re-use or replacement of primary
components.
■
Analysis
To determine the structural integrity
and actual thermal performance
capability of your cooling tower, SPX
Cooling Technologies encourages CTI
performance status testing. Analysis of
your tower is supported by the research
and development laboratory and testing
facilities of SPX Cooling Technologies’
industry leading R&D center. Resulting
recommendations reflect either the
minimum work necessary to satisfy your
thermal performance requirements or
indicate the maximum effort needed to
bring your cooling tower to achieving
your requirements.
■
Engineering
Once the necessary work has
been determined and your thermal
performance objectives established,
our engineers apply the same design
standards to reconstruction as we
do to new tower construction. This
ensures that all changes made to
the cooling tower are designed to
work together to achieve the thermal
performance objectives.
The predictable performance
of a cooling tower depends on the
interdependence of various components
working together as a system. Because
alteration of any one component can
alter the entire system, it may be
necessary to modify one or more of the
remaining components in the system
to restore balance. No mix and match
combinations of components are used
which have not been previously tested as
a system.
