Coolclean Cooling Tower Service Benefits

Coolclean carry out comprehensive cooling tower servicing to not just clean, but to also ensure that the cooling tower cools to its maximin efficiency, to reduce water and chemical usage, to reduce electrical power consumption, to reduce environmental damage, to control bacteria growth, and comply with State and Federal Government, law, regulations, and standards.

This is not a water treatment program designed by chemists. Coolclean carries out cooling tower services and clean mechanical & maintenance programs using trained cooling tower equipment specialists.

A cooling tower is equipment that requires a full service and maintenance including:

  • Remove all access hatches and all removable components such as drift eliminators, water distribution nozzles, air intake louvres and fill pack.
  • Interior clean of all interior surfaces and components – Physical – Not a chemical wash
  • Component inspection and report with photographs. One report for each cooling tower cell – not system.
  • Mechanical inspection and report with photographs. One report for each cooling tower cell – not system.
  • Performance optimisation by ensuring that the cooling tower components can provide cooling efficiency at the original 100% design capacity.
  • Disinfection and re-disinfection in line with Victoria State and Government Regulations.
  • Power wash cleaning to remove interior build-up of dirt, scale, bacteria, and biofilm. This is a physical process that water treatment chemicals cannot do.

If you only carry out disinfections, clean with just a hose, do not remove all components, do not inspect, and maintain all components, your cooling tower is never being serviced.

What must take place for an effective service of any cooling tower – at least six monthly.

  • Victorian State Government regulated disinfection and cleaning procedure.
  • Power wash of all interior surfaces (all access panels off) to comply with Victorian State Government regulations.
  • Mechanical and component inspection and report.
  • Drift eliminator removal – Compliance inspection and condition report.
  • Manufacturer’s logbook service of all parts.
  • Full insurance to carry- out cooling tower cleaning – Legionella cover not excluded.
  • Service report for each cooling tower cell with photos (not just the system).
  • Performance optimising – Water distribution – Air flow – Water flow
  • Experienced cooling tower equipment service technicians to carry out this work.

Super clean and Deep Clean

A super clean or a seep clean of a cooling tower is basically, dismantling, removing, and power washing, the fill pack. The fill pack is the heat transfer medium which transfers the heat from the water into the air.

Over time, cooling towers build up deposits of dirt, scale & debris, and allowing the growth of bacteria, slime, and biofilm. This reduces the system efficiency of the cooling tower and the equipment that it is designed to provide cooled water for, such as a chiller. Dirty and scaled fill pack provides a haven for bacterial growth which increases the chance of a Legionnaires Disease outbreak.

Clean cooling tower correctly to reduce illness

A professional cooling tower clean takes TIME

  • Measure the quality of your cooling tower by how long it takes to complete the clean correctly.
  • Ask your current cleaning supplier: How long will the clean take and how many people will be required? Confirm this against the actual time on site.
  • Ask will all the access hatches be removed, and will all the interior surfaces be cleaned?
  • If it is a cheap price for a cooling tower clean – you are not getting much.
  • It takes a minimum of two hours to just carry out the two mandatory disinfection procedures.
  • It takes a minimum of two hours to clean the smallest cooling tower interior correctly.
  • It takes approximately one hour to carry our safety compliance – permits – JSA – service reports.
  • Simple basic clean of one cooling tower is four to five hours.
  • The landowner and the cooling tower operator are responsible to ensure a cooling tower is cleaned in accordance with Victoria State Government Law – Not the cleaning provider!
  • Employee a cooling tower cleaning company that can deliver a compliant clean not a cheap clean.
