Why Does Cooling Tower Equipment Age Faster Than Expected in Industrial Facilities?

Cooling towers are designed to operate in some of the most demanding environments in industrial facilities. In theory, many cooling tower components should last decades. In reality, plant managers and maintenance teams often find themselves replacing valves, screens, piping, and structural components far sooner than anticipated. Premature equipment aging can […]
