Cooling Towers — frequently asked
Open or closed-circuit tower?
Open towers are cheapest and most efficient but the process water is exposed — used for condenser cooling. Closed-circuit towers keep the process fluid clean and are mandatory for glycol loops, food and pharma.
How do I stay Legionella-compliant?
Follow HSG274 (UK), ASHRAE 188 (US) or VDI 2047 (DE): weekly dip-slides, monthly Legionella tests, biocide dosing, drift eliminators, and full risk assessment. ColdMatch specs this into every RFQ.
Is an adiabatic (dry/wet hybrid) tower worth the premium?
In water-scarce or high-tariff regions — yes. Adiabatic towers run dry most of the year and only spray on peak days, cutting water use 60–90% vs an open tower.
How fast can ColdMatch source cooling towers?
Standard packaged towers quote in 2–3 weeks; large field-erected towers 6–10 weeks. We brief shortlisted OEMs within 48 hours.
