Traditional Cleaning Method using Power Washers and Cleaning Chemicals
With the winter heating season closing in on us, facilities engineers are getting buildings buttoned down and heating equipment ready for winter. Although the cool weather marks the end of the environmental “comfort cooling” season, it doesn’t end for “process cooling.”
Since process manufacturing requires year-round cooling, manufacturers commonly perform a final cleaning during the third or early fourth quarter because once the winter weather hits, cleaning cooling equipment be-comes prohibitive - especially in the upper half of the U.S. and in Canada.
As you enter the year-end maintenance cycle, reflect back on the challenges of this season and ask yourself - what important HVAC maintenance activities took too much time and energy but were necessary for process and system optimization? Then ask yourself what can be done during the last maintenance cycle to make life a little easier next spring and summer.

Cooling Tower Filter Screens
It requires getting water, power washing equipment and cleaning chemicals to each mechanical unit - plus, proper cleaning can take as little as an hour to as much as a day or more, depending upon the size of the cooling system. In some states, the cleaning process is further complicated by state and local laws that require reclaiming and proper disposal of the cleaning solutions (including biodegradable chemicals) so they don’t harm the environment.
If cleaning condenser coils and cooling towers fall near the top of your “hate to do” list, then Cottonwood Filter Screens could be just the solution you are looking for.

Chiller/Condenser Coil Filter Screens
Unlike screening materials that you can buy at the hardware or canvas shop and that can damage your mechani-cal equipment, Cottonwood Filter Screens are specifically engineered for use on all makes and models of cool-ing equipment and will not void equipment warranties.
So, if you are looking for a way to reduce energy cost, earn LEED credits while significantly reducing mainte-nance time and effort, then cottonwood filter screens is a year end maintenance enhancement to consider, as they will reduce next spring and summer’s maintenance challenges.
