Industries across the manufacturing spectrum — whether producing beverages, dairy products, petroleum, chemicals, plastics or electricity, to name a few — generate heat as a byproduct of the manufacturing process.

Galvanized coatings for cooling tower systems — cooling towers, evaporator tube bundles and others — have been used since the 1950s due to their relatively low cost and long service life. 

No matter where you look, you will see that industries worldwide rely on iron and steel as an integral component within projects such as shipbuilding, bridge construction and railway infrastructure. 

In an interview with Editor Linda Becker, Bonnie Martens of Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions offers insights about chiller maintenance tips.

Specifically designed for fill-replacement projects, the PVC cooling tower fill pack ships to the jobsite in two pieces and is bottom supported.

For safe operations and maintenance, it is important employees know what is inside the pipes they are working around to prevent accidental exposure to hazards. If the contents in a pipe may be hazardous, that information should be clearly communicated as a matter of human safety.

Local level indication is an important measurement for many process control applications. It provides a reliable way to confirm the level height. It allows a way to check and calibrate level transmitters.

Goodway Technologies, Stamford, Conn., developed calculators to help facility managers determine how much descaler is required. Those responsible for maintenance of chillers, boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, compressors or condensers will benefit.

Most people think of coil cleaning as a building or facility prepares to turn on the air-conditioners for another season. Admittedly, spring is a perfect time to put such cleaning and maintenance at the top of the to-do list.

Plant Resource Manager (PRM) software tool can be used to document and manage data plant monitoring and control devices and manufacturing equipment.
