College Replaces Metal Cooling Towers with Plastic Model
This new solution reduces maintenance, noise while increasing efficiency.
Fed up with spending substantial resources on the continuous repair of an aging cooling tower, a large North Carolina community college recently opted to replace its failing galvanized-metal unit with an engineered plastic model. In doing so, it realized significant reductions in maintenance costs along with impressive gains in efficiency.
Established in 1961, Fayetteville Technical Community College currently serves over 28,000 students on its 150-acre campus. However, the college had struggled for some time trying to cool one of its academic buildings due to a galvanized metal cooling tower used in conjunction with the facility's HVAC system which had fallen into disrepair.
