Abstract
Annual preservative spray applications to the
plenum area combined with a good water treatment
program will extend the maintenance free life of
the cooling tower. This is accomplished by preventing
internal wood decay which can result in
unexpected structural failure and periodic repairs.
The preservative spray procedure will also minimize
the biological fouling of the plenum of the cooling
tower and related heat exchange equipment.
System reliability and efficiency will thus be
maintained.
