Coil & Tower Protection

COTTONWOOD SCREENS

Cottonwood screens, also known as air intake screens, are used to protect condenser coils, cooling towers, chiller, and OA louvers from airborne debris that can clog and damage the system. They are designed to be used in high volume, high velocity air movement systems, and have a low impact on airflow and static pressure.

Save Time & Money

TIME SAVER

When you think of packaged rooftop condenser coils, chiller, and cooling tower maintenance the first thought is usually about how much of a hassle and time it is to perform and power washers, cleaning solvents hoses, buckets and other cleaning accessories need to be assembled and moved from unit to unit, up and down off of rooftops, behind buildings and other out of the way locations; chillers and cooling towers need to be opened, housings need to be removed and internal components power washed then the equipment needs to be reassembled before moving to the next one.

SAVE MONEY

Keeping up with HVAC maintenance during the spring, summer and fall is nearly a full time job for most production operations and as the economic realities of business cause maintenance budgets and staffing to be reduced, it is increasingly important that companies find effective maintenance solutions that will streamline their day to day HVAC maintenance activities and enable them to more effectively handle workloads with fewer people and with fewer budget dollars.

KEY POINTS

Your Chiller / Condenser Unit operates it takes on debris load and runs at an increasing level of inefficiency. That means that each day following a coil cleaning, Your chiller / condenser unit is costing you more energy dollars than the day before until the next coil cleaning!
High efficiency equipment is only as efficient as the coils are clean. Replacing old equipment with new high efficiency equipment doesn’t guarantee that you’ll reap the efficiency & energy saving benefit. “Micro Channel Coils” typically used in high efficiency condenser systems increase the coil fin density so as to increase the heat rejection surface area; this reduces the air space between each fin, making them prone to Rapid Fouling – keeping them clean is an imperative in order to realize the efficiency and energy saving benefit
Reduced maintenance and repair costs
Improved cooling efficiency
Reduced sludge build-up
Reduced water treatment chemical consumption
Improved indoor air quality
Going Green” without breaking the bank

More to Consider

THINK ABOUT IT…

If your maintenance team is operating with lean staffing and you have five critical tasks to complete in a day, where would cleaning condenser coils and cooling towers fall on your “To Do List”? For many, this time-consuming, dirty, and physically demanding job would rank near the bottom. Unfortunately, postponing this maintenance doesn’t change the reality: once equipment needs cleaning, every delay only increases inefficiency until the system can no longer meet cooling demands.

Now imagine if cleaning this equipment were as simple as sweeping with a broom or rinsing with a garden hose—without the need for disassembly. In that case, almost anyone could handle the task, transforming how HVAC and cooling tower maintenance is approached.
