We live in a world that is constantly in need of more and more energy in order to meet consumer demands or government regulations. So it’s not surprising that people are looking for a way to make industrial cooling systems more advanced and energy efficient, not only for the sake of the environment but in order to be able to satisfy everyone’s demands. Additionally, more efficiency means more money that your company will be saving.
Many industrial environments need cooling systems to custom fit their size and design, so it’s important to consider your situation in order to determine what will be most important. The electronic and chemical industries are some that may need precision control of heat and humidity in order to avoid bad chemical reactions or bacterial growth. This can damage items and lead to inefficient business practices, so it’s important to have the right cooling solutions to avoid the chance of damage. For many corporations, this can result in cooling systems running at full power all the time, eating away at the company’s budget, and harming the environment.
In this blog, we’re going to talk about how you can make your cooling towers more efficient so that you don’t have to worry about if you’re saving enough money or not. Here are several ways to save money with your industrial cooling tower.
GREEN Energy Management System (GEMS)
Cooling towers are designed to meet cooling demands on the hottest days of the year and therefore rarely need to be running at full power to maintain design cold water output. In fact, most of the time, a properly designed and maintained cooling tower is over performing at off-peak weather conditions & in evening or early morning hours. ICS’s intelligent GEMS System is designed to modulate the cooling tower energy consumption and therefore performance to keep the cold water temperatures within a predetermined temperature range. This results in substantial energy savings and reduced wear on mechanical equipment & lower noise emissions during off-peak operations.
GEMS will help you save money by optimizing the cooling tower operations and reduce fan energy. If you have any questions about how to save money and increase efficiency with your cooling tower, don’t hesitate to contact Industrial Cooling Solutions today. GEMS can help make your plant operations more energy efficient & environmentally friendly. A Win-Win solution for you and the planet.
Having the Right Filtration System
Like a standard in-home HVAC system, industrial cooling towers require a good filtration system in order to be energy efficient. Once water is evaporated in a cooling tower, dissolved solids are left behind. These solids include magnesium, calcium, silica, and more. If these aren’t removed properly or avoided with a good filtration system, they can start to take a toll on your cooling tower efficiency and even damage it. In the long run, this could result in thousands of dollars worth of damages. In addition to taking a look at your water treatment company to see if they’re providing you with an adequate water supply, you should consider an alternate filtration system like a side stream sand filter.
Consider All the Cooling Tower Options Available
You always want to choose a cooling tower that meets ASHRAE 90.1 standards. This standard provides the minimum energy-efficiency requirements for whatever building you’re trying to cool. Not only should you be complying with the regulations, but it can help you run a more efficient cooling tower if that’s ever a concern to you. If you have any questions about this process, you should contact Industrial Cooling Solutions. We offer complete evaporative cooling tower services ranging from cooling tower engineering to tower repair that is custom fit to each customer’s needs.
