A Cooling Tower uses evaporative cooling; water is pumped up to the top of the tower and trickles back down a fill. At the top of the tower, a large fan pulls air through the fill, cooling the water down. Water runs down the fill and back into the basin, where it goes through the HVAC system. Due to evaporation, a freshwater makeup line feeds the cooling tower and goes to a float valve. As water evaporates, the float drops and causes the freshwater to "top" the water level off. When water evaporates, it leaves deposits on the cooling tower, piping, and fill. Over time, this can cause the tower to lose efficiency and not work as well as it should. Regular maintenance on cooling towers and chemical treatment are key to a long life with your investment.
