Key Cooling Tower Parts You Will Want To Keep On Hand
by Willie Horton
If your industrial business uses a boiler system or any other kind of machinery that makes use of a cooling tower in order to keep things operating safely and at the optimal temperature, you may want to stock up on some spare cooling tower parts. Here are some of the parts you might want to look into and why it's a good idea to have these spare parts on hand.
Look Into Stocking Up on a Spare Motor, Fan, and Any Applicable Switches, Valves, or Tower Fill
A cooling tower has a lot of different working parts, and if even one part goes down, you might have to stop operation of the entire tower. A cooling tower without a motor isn't going to be able to get anything done at all, a cooling tower without working fans will not be able to distribute the cool air properly, and if any switch, valve, nozzle, or another part that helps redirect the flow of the air or the coolant stops working, you are going to end up with an ineffective system. You should also stock up on whatever kind of fill you are using for your tower as the fill can accumulate wear and tear over time. Talk to a cooling tower parts manufacturer or supplier if you have questions about the parts that you might need for your specific tower.
Having Spare Parts on Hand Can Ensure a Quick Fix Instead of Having to Wait for Someone to Come Out to Your Property
When you stock up on tower parts and keep them at the ready, you may be able to have one of your own employees swap out a broken or malfunctioning part as soon as you notice the problem. This will allow whatever the tower is cooling to continue operating without issue, allowing you to continue production. If you don't have parts at the ready, you might have to wait for the part to come in or hire a professional and wait for them to come to you to fix the problem.
Stocking Up on Replacement Parts and Fixing Tower Issues Yourself Can Keep Long-Term Repair Costs Down
When you stock up on replacement parts before you need them and train employees on how to install a new part, you can avoid paying someone else for their labor. You may also be able to get a discount from the tower parts supplier if you buy in bulk or buy more than one kind of part at the same time, further reducing your long-term maintenance and repair expenses.
