Editor’s note: This post was originally published in 2023 and has been updated for accuracy and relevance. Cooling tower performance depends on clean, consistent water flow. When debris enters the sump or intake area, it can restrict flow, damage pumps, and reduce overall system efficiency. Screening plays a critical role […]

Editor’s note: This post was originally published on October 17, 2023 and has been updated for accuracy and relevance. Maintaining proper water flow inside a cooling tower is essential to system performance, efficiency, and equipment longevity. When water velocity or distribution becomes unstable, it can introduce turbulence, uneven cooling, and […]

Originally published in 2022 and updated in 2025 to reflect current cooling tower system requirements and operational best practices. Traveling water screens used in saltwater environments must balance corrosion resistance, structural strength, and long-term reliability without increasing maintenance or mechanical wear. In coastal and marine cooling systems, material selection is […]

Editor’s note: This post was originally published on March 30, 2023 and has been updated for accuracy and relevance. Cooling towers depend on controlled water distribution and effective debris exclusion to operate reliably. When debris reaches pump suction pits or water is unevenly distributed across cooling tower cells, performance declines, […]

Refineries and industrial plants along the Gulf Coast rely on cooling towers to maintain stable operations during periods of high demand. Consistent, balanced water flow is key to maintaining that stability. Even small variations in flow can cause uneven cooling, wasted energy, and premature wear on system components. At CTVS, […]
