Richard Aull Cooling Tower Consulting, LLC

Evaporative cooling towers are a critical element of most industrial and utility cooling systems since they have a significant impact on overall system efficiency. For example, a fouled fill section will reduce a cooling tower's performance by restricting airflow, thus impacting cooling. A poorly maintained or damaged water distribution system will have the same effect.

Our services can help optimize your cooling tower's performance and increase plant efficiency or product through-put.

Existing Cooling Tower Thermal Performance Assessment

Regardless of type; be it induced-draft counter flow, or crossflow, forced-draft counterf flow, or natural-draft counter flow or cross flow, with computer modeling, we can analyze your cooling tower to determine its true cooling potential.
