The cooling towers that you use in your industrial facilities are worn out due to working environments and improper water conditioning conditions. As a result, the performance of the cooling tower used decreases, the energy cost increases, and the service life may be shortened.
Olçaylı Mühendislik examines your water cooling tower on site and provides the necessary support for its improvement. As a result of the survey made, spare parts are supplied according to the needs and the faults are eliminated. With the overhaul, it is aimed to increase the performance of your cooling tower and to have a long life.
As a result of the survey to be made in the water cooling tower, in the overhaul process according to the need is;
- Grid filler, film and curler filler description and replacement,

Why is Cooling Tower Overhaul important ?
Cooling tower overhaul, also known as cooling tower maintenance or refurbishment, is essential for several reasons:
- Optimal Performance: Over time, cooling towers can experience wear and tear, leading to reduced efficiency. Regular overhauls help restore the tower to its optimal performance by replacing worn-out or damaged components, ensuring efficient heat exchange and cooling capacity.
- Energy Efficiency: A well-maintained cooling tower operates more efficiently, leading to energy savings. Overhauls can involve upgrading components, such as fans and motors, to newer, energy-efficient models. This results in reduced energy consumption and lower operational costs.
- Preventing Downtime: Scheduled overhauls can prevent unexpected breakdowns and downtime. By identifying and addressing potential issues during maintenance, the risk of sudden failures and production interruptions is minimized.
- Extend Equipment Life: Regular overhauls and maintenance extend the lifespan of cooling tower components. Replacing worn-out parts before they fail completely can significantly prolong the life of the cooling tower, saving costs associated with premature replacements.
- Compliance and Safety: Cooling towers need to comply with safety standards and regulations. Regular overhauls ensure that safety features such as guardrails, access ladders, and other safety mechanisms are in proper working condition, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Water Quality and Environmental Compliance: Overhauls often involve cleaning and treating the cooling tower's water distribution system and fill media. Maintaining clean water helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria like Legionella, ensuring compliance with water quality regulations and minimizing health risks.
- Improved Water Conservation: Overhauls can include upgrades to the water distribution system, minimizing water wastage and optimizing water usage within the cooling tower. This is crucial in regions facing water scarcity or where water conservation is a priority.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Regular overhauls are more cost-effective than replacing an entire cooling tower system. Addressing issues promptly and performing necessary repairs and upgrades during overhauls can save significant costs in the long run.
- Environmental Impact: Well-maintained cooling towers are more environmentally friendly. Efficient cooling reduces the overall energy consumption of the facility, leading to a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, proper maintenance ensures that water usage is optimized, contributing to environmental conservation efforts.
In summary, cooling tower overhaul is important because it ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, prevents downtime, extends equipment life, ensures compliance and safety, maintains water quality, improves water conservation, is cost-effective, and reduces the environmental impact of the cooling system. Regular maintenance and overhauls are essential to maximizing the efficiency and longevity of cooling towers.
