Cooling Tower Inspections

VAND Cooling Tower Inc. provides comprehensive and thorough inspections of wood, fiberglass, steel and concrete cooling towers.

The strength of cooling tower structural members decrease with prolonged exposure to wet or dry atmospheric conditions and exposure to treatment/process chemicals.

If you are in doubt about the soundness of the structure of your cooling tower then a thorough inspection and a structural analysis may be needed. Cooling tower structures can be damaged by high winds, vibration, biological or chemical agents, seismic events or age.

A professional cooling tower inspection insures that any structural or mechanical difficulties are identified and addressed before they become structural or mechanical disasters.

Mechanical Repairs

VAND Cooling Tower Inc. uses only the highest quality parts to ensure the highest level of performance for our customers. We use products such as Amarillo gear reducers, Addax drive shafts and Hudson high efficiency fan assemblies to insure the highest quality and customer satisfaction in performing mechanical repairs.

Thermal Components

The contact point between air and water is where the heat transfer occurs. This makes the heat transfer media, or “fills” the heart of a cooling tower. Various factors such as performance requirements and water quality are taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate replacement fill. The proper drift eliminators can virtually eliminate drift. This will not only improve your towers performance, but will also help to prevent costly future repairs due to corrosion of mechanical equipment and its supporting structure.

Thermal Evaluation and Upgrade

VAND Cooling Tower Inc. can provide a full thermal evaluation of your cooling tower’s thermal performance and recommend options for improving performance. The thermal performance evaluation begins with establishing a Baseline performance level which is the original performance of the cooling tower. VAND Cooling Tower Inc. will then establish a predicted level of performance at which the tower currently operates. The comparison of the original and the current level of thermal capacity provides a clear indication of the amount of thermal degradation that has occurred over the operating life of the tower. Then multiple performance upgrade options will be offered with specific improvement levels and associated costs. All data is presented clearly and logically and tailored to each customer's specific needs so that you can make an informed decision.
