Stop Wasting Energy: The Approach Temperature Your Cooling Tower is Hiding
For facility managers across India, from the humid tech parks of Bangalore to the industrial belts of Chennai, efficiency is often chased through expensive chiller upgrades or chemical overhauls. Yet, the most critical indicator of your system’s health is usually sitting in plain sight, unmonitored: the Approach Temperature. If you aren’t tracking your approach, you […]
The Silent Profit Killer: Is Your Cooling Tower Approach Bleeding Your Bottom Line?
Cooling tower approach temperature directly dictates how hard your chiller works. A smaller approach means colder water enters the chiller. Such a change reduces the physical pressure the compressor must overcome. When the compressor works less, your electricity bills drop. Specifically, every 1°C decrease in water temperature can improve chiller efficiency by about 3%. In […]
Know About Cooling Tower Fills – The Heart of CT
If you’ve ever stood near a cooling tower and wondered what actually makes all that heat disappear, the answer is simpler than it looks. It isn’t just the fan. It isn’t only the water flow. The real work happens inside the fill. Cooling tower fills are where water spreads, air meets it, and heat quietly […]
Cooling Tower Retrofits: When Component Replacement Makes Sense and When It Doesn’t
Every cooling tower eventually sends small signals. A new vibration appears. Outlet temperatures creep up. Energy use quietly climbs. At some point, someone asks the real question: Is this just a worn part, or is the system trying to tell us something more? That question sits at the heart of retrofit decisions. Replacing components can […]
How to Increase Your Industrial Cooling Tower Efficiency
Industrial cooling towers play a critical role in maintaining stable temperatures across manufacturing operations, chemical processes, pharmaceuticals, HVAC systems, and energy plants. As towers age, fouling, scaling, drifting, and mechanical deterioration slowly reduce performance which leads to higher energy bills and reduced cooling capacity. Improving cooling tower efficiency does not always require a major rebuild. […]
Indirect Cooling Technology Optimises Fertiliser Production and Quality
At Aad Tech, the parent company of Melfrank, we understand the critical role temperature control plays in fertiliser production. From granulation to crystallisation, each stage demands precise cooling for optimal quality and efficiency. In this context, indirect cooling technology has emerged as a reliable solution offering superior control, water savings, and improved cooling efficiency of […]
Cooling Tower Retrofit For Water & Energy Savings
In industrial facilities, large commercial structures, and computer data centers, cooling towers are integral components of air-conditioning systems to dissipate heat from water-cooled machinery. However, aging cooling towers become inefficient, wasting enormous amounts of water and energy while performing below optimal efficiency. Rather than costly full overhauls, a cooling tower retrofit is an extremely efficient […]
How Smart Control Systems Reduce Cooling Tower Operating Costs
Cooling towers are a requirement for much of industrial and commercial HVAC application. For everything from factories and computer centers to hospitals and skyscrapers, these systems are needed for thermal efficiency and rejection of heat. But they’re also one of the most energy-intensive components of the cooling system. As prices for energy increase and sustainability […]
