The very laws of nature also seem to work against them. Unfortunately, the zinc galvanized sheet metal cooling towers traditionally used to handle this heat are subjected to exorbitant maintenance costs and process disruptions. Without fail-safe and efficient cooling towers, capital-intensive processing operations are subjected to unscheduled maintenance shutdowns with unrecoverable production losses and delayed shipments. Protecting expensive process equipment and maintaining cooling fluids are indispensable parts of any process operation. Any process that introduces heat, either directly or reactively, generates waste heat or the requirement for cooling. By David Jurgensen With heat playing a major role in all chemical processing operations, it’s hard to find a plant today that doesn’t have a cooling tower or two on its roof or grounds. The following report reviews their important differences. click to enlargeĮngineered plastic cooling towers don’t have the problems that plague their galvanized metal counterparts - corrosion, leakage, maintenance costs, process disruptions.


Metal-lined cooling towers (left) generally carry a one-year warranty. They come with a 15-year warranty, the longest in the industry.

Delta Cooling’s engineered plastic cooling towers are available for high-capacity applications.
