Cooling Water Temperature Rise (Water-Cooled)
Likely causes
Cooling tower fan faulty
Check: Check cooling tower fan current and rotation
What to do: Check cooling tower fan current and rotation → Inspect and clean fill media if blocked → Measure cooling water inlet temperature (design: ≤32°C) → Check spray nozzles on cooling tower for blockage → In hot summer conditions, consider supplemental cooling water cooling measures
Fill media clogged or aged
Check: Inspect and clean fill media if blocked
What to do: Inspect and clean fill media if blocked → Measure cooling water inlet temperature (design: ≤32°C) → Check spray nozzles on cooling tower for blockage → In hot summer conditions, consider supplemental cooling water cooling measures
Reduced cooling performance in hot humid summer conditions
Check: Measure cooling water inlet temperature (design: ≤32°C)
What to do: Measure cooling water inlet temperature (design: ≤32°C) → Check spray nozzles on cooling tower for blockage → In hot summer conditions, consider supplemental cooling water cooling measures
Flow is normal but the cooling water temperature itself is too high. Inspect the cooling tower and water circuit.
