Tower Tech and Education

TowerTech — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Educational facilities—primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities and trade schools—must make the most out of every dollar. But did you know? Due to inefficiency, cooling can be one of the highest-cost operations that educational buildings face. Temperature control isn’t optional, and thousands are spent every year on water and power for environmental control. Unfortunately, these dollars can literally drift away on the wind from inefficient cooling equipment.

Tower Tech modular cooling towers help educational facilities maximize their return on investment through low maintenance, a long service life and sustainably efficient operations that slash annual bills.

Tower Tech Closed Loop Towers and Heat Pumps

TowerTech — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 17:22:00 GMT

Global adoption of heat pumps is on the rise for commercial buildings. By moving heat rather than generating it, heat pumps are a highly efficient, sustainable alternative to fossil fuel systems. But heat pumps’ performance depends on having a reliable way to reject excess heat when cooling is required. A high-quality cooling tower can provide this heat removal, as long as proper care is taken to maintain purity in the pump loop. A closed circuit tower meets these purity needs. Here’s how a closed loop tower complements a heat pump system in a commercial building and the benefits of choosing Tower Tech’s closed circuit TTCC tower.

Tower Tech and Data Centers

Data center demand is growing at an almost alarming pace, largely driven by the AI boom. Some estimates predict more than triple annual growth by 2030. These facilities have continuous, mission-critical loads and are already facing increased scrutiny over water use. Data center servers create high, constant heat output with little to no seasonal variation. Operations must be both efficient and highly reliable under always-on conditions. Cooling towers, a common source of heat rejection for data centers that use water-cooled chillers, must be equally efficient and reliable.

Tower Tech and Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare facilities are places of healing. Governed by both ethics and regulations, these facilities have to maintain certain high standards for cleanliness and minimal germ spread. This includes their HVAC systems and the cooling towers that support them.

FRP Safety Ladders, Cages and Handrail Systems

TowerTech — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 13:56:05 GMT

Tower Tech supplies the world’s strongest and most efficient cooling tower in the HVAC, industrial, and power cooling tower industries. Many of these applications include commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, universities, data centers, and industrial facilities. Tower Tech joined the Creative Composites Group in 2017 after many years of working with Creative Pultrusions. Tower Tech has continued to market and produce the most durable and long-lasting structure in the cooling tower industry. By utilizing the structural profiles engineered for the most corrosive conditions imaginable, Tower Tech’s rugged pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) design is suited for any cooling tower environment and location.

The already maintenance-friendly cooling tower offers exceptionally safe and easy servicing. For example, customers can do routine maintenance and inspections from ground level, eliminating the requirement for ladders or handrails.

This servicing method gives our customers many safety advantages for maintenance personnel with a “boots on the ground” safety approach. For non-routine and infrequent maintenance requirements like fill cleaning, most Tower Tech customers opt to use a temporary scaffold. Some customers prefer to use a man-lift when accessing the top of the towers.

Whether you need a replacement or a one for a new facility, our cooling towers exceed industry standards in many critical areas. As the leading manufacturer of cooling units, at Tower Tech we offer a unique design for improved efficiency.

Annual Cooling Tower Maintenance Equals Long-Term Savings

TowerTech — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 17:22:08 GMT

The longevity and efficiency of industrial equipment is essential to everyday business operations. When it comes to cooling towers, the stakes are even higher. If a hospital loses its HVAC function or a data center’s cooling operations go offline, these mission-critical operations can suffer major losses. The key to seamless performance lies in proactive maintenance. While these costs may seem like an unnecessary expense, avoiding them is being “penny wise and dollar foolish.” Waiting for things to break down before addressing issues could ultimately cost businesses around three to four times as much as yearly and preventative maintenance. Here’s why.

Drift Loss in Cooling Towers Brings Many-Sized Problems

There are both direct and indirect consequences of drift. The obvious consequence is lost money through lost water and chemicals, which can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer and the cooling tower style. The industry-standard cooling tower has a 0.005% drift rating, largely due to the top-mounted fan designs with velocity accelerator fan stack cylinders that blow air and drift out of the tops of towers at high rates. This drift can amount to 216 gallons of lost water a day, or 78,840 gallons each year from a 1,000-ton cooling tower with a typical heat load on a building. As water shortages increase, water prices are bound to go up. Lost water is lost money.

Redundant Cooling Tower Fans Provide Uptime

But redundant can also mean “able to be omitted without loss of function.” That’s exactly what you get inside a Tower Tech modular cooling tower.

The Difference a Cooling Tower Nozzle Can Make

Like any part of an HVAC system, cooling towers require certain maintenance to continue peak performance. The maintenance needed for a Tower Tech cooling tower is significantly lower than conventional towers, partly because of its nozzles. These variable-flow spray nozzles are essentially “self-cleaning,” reducing required maintenance – and saving businesses money.
