The Efficiency and Benefits of Traveling Water Screens for Industrial Cooling Towers

Traveling water or sump screens are an ideal solution for facilities aiming to minimize or eliminate the costs and resource demands associated with the maintenance, cleaning, and replacement required by static water screens. These traveling screens are well-known for being an efficient, low-maintenance option that can significantly improve operational efficiency.

How Do Traveling Cooling Tower Screens Work?

Traveling cooling tower screens earn their name from the way they operate. These screens are motor-driven and rotate on a set schedule, allowing them to periodically clean and clear themselves. This self-cleaning mechanism significantly reduces the need for manual intervention from facility personnel, freeing up resources that can be better utilized to enhance and expand other aspects of your operation.

Key Considerations When Selecting a Cooling Tower Screen

While cooling towers are designed to perform the same basic function, the environment, conditions, size, and scope of their operations can vary widely. The effectiveness of your cooling tower depends greatly on the performance of its water screen. When selecting a screen, it’s crucial to consider:

• The size of the debris and other materials that the screen will capture.
• The overall volume of debris expected to pass through the cooling tower system.
• Your facility’s resources and workforce availability for cleaning, maintenance, and repairs.

Why Vari-Flow Screens Are the Superior Choice

Vari-Flow cooling tower screens are designed to address these considerations and simplify maintenance processes. These advanced screens effectively keep heat exchangers free from debris, eliminating the need for manual cleaning. Their innovative “backflush” system allows for a quick and efficient cleaning process that requires only one operator and takes just a few minutes to complete.

With a comprehensive range of cooling tower valves and screens, Vari-Flow reduces overall operational costs, mitigates the risk of costly repairs and replacements, and virtually eliminates downtime. Investing in Vari-Flow screens ensures that your cooling tower system operates smoothly and efficiently, allowing you to focus on growing and improving your facility’s performance.
