Enhancing Cooling Tower Efficiency by Reducing Chattering with High Quality Cooling Tower Valves

In cooling towers, conventional distribution valves often suffer from excessive wear due to the turbulent movement of water within the system. This phenomenon, known as “chattering,” occurs when the stem and disc inside the valve are constantly jostled by water turbulence. Frequent chattering accelerates wear and tear, leading to the need for frequent cooling tower valve replacements.

The Cost of Cooling Tower Maintenance

Repairing and replacing cooling tower valves can be costly in terms of downtime and resources. Maintenance requires stopping operations, diverting manpower, and incurring the direct expense of new valve components. Additionally, valuable workforce resources are allocated to maintenance tasks that could otherwise be used for more productive activities.

The Advantage of Advanced Cooling Tower Valves

Fortunately, chattering can be mitigated with the use of advanced cooling tower valves specifically designed to withstand water forces. These valves, like the Vari-Flow valves from Cooling Tower Valves and Screens LLC, are engineered with superior materials and designed to balance water flow and reduce turbulence.

Superior Cooling Tower Valve Engineering and Materials

Vari-Flow valves are crafted using a stainless steel stem and a UHMW-PE plastic bushing, which require no grease or additional maintenance. This combination ensures durability and longevity. Moreover, these valves feature an internal guide system that supports the valve throughout its entire range of motion, ensuring balanced water flow and a smooth transition.
