As per Government regulations, it is mandatory to carry out an inspection after registration followed by compulsory maintenance work at specified intervals. Even if one component of your cooling tower fails, it will mean costly repairs and maintenance work. It is better to avoid a lot of unpleasantness by agreeing and carrying out the inspection work ahead of the prescribed time.
Necessity of inspections
It is possible that when one declines to carry out the cooling tower inspection, it will fail. Due to the failure of the essential components, the system gets shut down, and the owner will pay for the downtime of the tower. Inspectors from FlowMatrix use their experience and diligence to make sure the tower is in top condition all the time. They have worked on all brands of cooling towers and know the features and shortcomings of each of them.
They provide a thorough inspection of all components and submit a report. The technicians will quickly identify any place where one needs any action. They give the best price for any repairs needed and will carry out repairs immediately because they carry spares for all the brands. This helps reduce downtime to a large extent.
Full Protection for Every Aspect of the Tower
The detailed report from the technicians provides the action plan to give the best for the tower. Aspects that help in the work:
● They have all the spare parts for all brands of cooling towers.
● Years of experience in identifying and rectifying faults.
● Use of superior tools and material for carrying out the repairs.
● Doing timely inspection and repairs.
This kind of diligence helps prevent the incidence of Legionella that is so rampant in these parts. The Government regulations came into effect with this purpose in mind.
Factors to Consider Before an Inspection
The primary factor that one must consider is the age of the cooling tower. The older it is, the more there is a possibility that it needs an overhaul. The next factor is the availability of spare parts. It is not always possible to get spares for all the parts of some brands. FlowMatrix has spares for all brands with them all the time.
Doing an inspection is a proactive approach that saves time and effort in the long run. That brings up the next factor, how long can one afford to wait for spare parts? This is why regular cooling tower inspection and repair is vital. There is a chance for litigation if one stops production due to a fault in the cooling tower. Do the AS/NZS 3666 inspection that covers all mechanical parts of the tower.
The team will inspect the basin for leaks, check the fans for cracks and ensure its revolution and pitch. Then, they apply grease and protective coatings. This team inspects the shafts, pulleys, and vee belts. They do detailed inspections of the fill pack and make sure there is compliance of drift eliminator. It is better to carry out the inspection and avoid the risk of Legionella and liability. This way, one extends the life of the cooling tower and reduces the risk of exposure to warranty issues and risks.
