Cooling Tower Systems in Greater Los Angeles

 

Prevent Heat Build-Up and Downtime

Cooling towers remove heat from water in commercial HVAC systems, preventing chillers from overworking and wasting energy. Large buildings generate high heat loads that warm water returns carry back. Without towers, chillers lose efficiency, energy bills spike, and you risk unplanned shutdowns. A reliable cooling tower system stops those failures and keeps operations running smoothly.

Air-Tro designs and installs cooling towers for offices, warehouses, schools, and industrial sites throughout Greater Los Angeles. Our team also services existing towers to maintain peak performance and compliance.

How does a cooling tower system work?

A cooling tower directs warm water from your HVAC condenser into a tower basin where fans draw air through fill media. As the air moves, water droplets evaporate and cool the remaining water. Pumps then send that cooled water back to your chiller or condenser in a continuous loop. This process removes heat mainly through evaporation while using far less electricity than mechanical cooling alone.

Types of Cooling Towers

Cooling tower tech varies by application. Common types include:

• Evaporative cooling towers: Use air and water contact for maximum heat drop
• Induced-draft towers: Feature fans at the top for steady airflow
• Forced-draft towers: Use base fans to push air through fill media
• Closed-circuit towers: Keep process fluids separate from circulating water

Our Cooling Tower Services

Air-Tro delivers complete cooling tower care from design to operation. We install towers matched to your building’s load and local codes and manage water quality with a chemical program to prevent scale and corrosion. Our team cleans towers to clear biological growth and sediment and performs mechanical repairs on fan motors and pumps. We add side-stream filtration to capture fine particles and extend cleaning cycles. Every system is sized on site to ensure safe and reliable performance.

Preventive Maintenance Prevents Failures

A thorough maintenance program keeps towers fast and compliant. Our technicians visit quarterly to inspect fill and drift eliminators, test water chemistry, and adjust treatment levels. They lubricate fan bearings, test motor amps, and inspect pumps and valves. They also clean basins and sumps to remove debris. This level of care stops small issues from turning into major downtime.

FAQ: Cooling Tower Systems

How does a cooling tower system work?
It cools water by pulling air through water-filled media. Evaporation removes heat and pumps send cooled water back to the condenser.

Why is water treatment important?
Treatment prevents scale, corrosion, and biological growth. It maintains water quality and protects your tower.

How often should cooling towers be cleaned?
We recommend quarterly inspections and cleaning. High-debris sites may need more frequent service.

Can I add filtration to my cooling tower?
Yes. Side-stream filtration captures fine particles before they enter the basin. It extends cleaning intervals and reduces chemical use.
