A. My cooling tower is overflowing because the mechanical float valve is stuck open. What should I do? B. My tower was just installed and there is rust around the basin. What can I do?

A. Can EVAPCO provide replacement parts for another manufacturer's cooling tower? B. How long (in general) does cooling tower fill last? C. I need to improve the maintenance access to my cooling tower, condenser, or fluid cooler. Can EVAPCO custom fabricate ladders and service platforms to fit my installation requirements? D. My cooling tower is not functioning as well as it did when it was new. Is this normal? How do I get it running back to normal?

A. Why is water treatment important in an evaporative cooling system? B. What advantages does solid chemistry have over a traditional liquid chemistry program? C. How does the makeup water quality affect a cooling tower’s material of construction?

If the unit was just installed, the rust is probably not affecting the integrity, or life expectancy, of the base stainless steel material. It is most likely foreign material on the surface that can be cleaned. So, where is the rust coming from? The rust spots that show up on the surface of the unit are not signs of the base stainless steel material corroding. Often, they are foreign material, such as welding slag, that has collected on the surface of the unit. The rust spots will be located around areas on the unit where there has been welding. It is not uncommon to find these spots around

The mechanical float valve that EVAPCO uses operates with a makeup water pressure between 20 and 50 psi. When the makeup water pressure exceeds the 50-psi limit, the makeup valve will not close. The reason for this is that the buoyant force of the float ball and arm mechanism cannot overcome the force that the water pressure exerts on the valve. Therefore, when the water pressure force is greater than the buoyant force, the float ball is forced down and the valve stays open flooding the cold water basin. In addition, the excessively high water pressure will wear out the valve seat. The

Over time, cooling tower performance can degrade due to a variety of factors. This is completely normal; however, your local EVAPCO sales representatives can help to improve operation. Our team of representatives and Mr. Goodtower® Service Centers are experts in cooling equipment and replacement parts. If you notice any potential issues or inefficiencies with your EVAPCO or non-EVAPCO unit, contact your local representative for a free inspection or call 8621-66877786 for assistance.

Yes, we can! Our representatives will work with you to provide a ladder and/or service platform designed to meet your needs and budget. The Custom Design Team within our Mr. Goodtower® division is able to fabricate solutions, even for non-EVAPCO equipment. Our goal is to provide safe and secure serviceability for your equipment. Don't put off routine maintenance to your cooling tower, condenser, or fluid cooler because of access issues. Contact your local EVAPCO sales representative today to talk about your options.

Typically, heat transfer media (otherwise known as fill) will need to be replaced once or twice during the life of a cooling tower.The longevity of fill, or heat transfer media, is predominantly a function of water and air quality, as well as proper operation. If you believe you need replacement fill or would like more information on this subject, please contact your local EVAPCO sales representative.

Yes. EVAPCO can provide replacement parts for any piece of cooling equipment you have onsite. For specific parts and pricing (or custom requests), please contact your local sales representative. EVAPCO has been offering parts for non-EVAPCO cooling equipment for many years. We have a dedicated Custom Design Team, as part of our Mr. Goodtower® division, that can evaluate and design parts or sections for any piece of equipment you have on your jobsite. From motors to fans, drift eliminators, louvers, pumps, sheaves, belts, or even complete rebuild kits, our team has exactly what you need for
