Cooling Tower Mechanical Equipment Changeout
The mechanical moving parts of cooling towers are exposed to conditions causing potential problems such as blockages, wear and tear, and corrosion. Mechanical equipment should be inspected regularly to manage such problems and keep them in check whenever possible.
Equipment that experiences the most wear and tear and whose malfunction can have a major effect on the overall functioning of the cooling tower include:
- Gearbox
- Drive Shafts
- Supports
- Fan Stacks
The atmosphere within a cooling tower is wet and humid by nature . That moisture combined with metal parts and the presence of Oxygen combine to develop corrosion. It’s important to preserve any protective coatings as much as possible to ensure that the metal is resistant to corrosion. If a piece of equipment experiences any alignment issues that may cause friction, this could be a hotbed for corrosion. Welded seams in particular tend to attract corrosion, as do pieces of hardware that connect the gearbox, drive shafts, supports, etc.
