Cooling tower filtration energy savings and ROI calculator

Energy savings resulting from using one product or another are easy claims to make - often much harder to prove. The same is true when claiming reduced water usage in commercial heating and air conditioning systems.
But when it comes to cooling tower filtration, the benefits of installing an effective filtration system can be measured in actual money. And those cost savings can be HUGE.
If you systematically consider the local kilowatt hour costs, labor costs, water costs, decreased labor time saved by automating the filtration process (instead of manual basin cleaning), number and size of chillers, etc, and other factors, the actual costs and savings can be determined.
And by factoring in the cost of an automated filtration solution, a Return on Investment (ROI) can be accurately calculated.
And that is not even taking into account the other benefits of effective cooling tower filtration, which include:
- Reduced risk of Legionella growth
- A GREENER facility with higher sustainability
A spreadsheet capturing all of this information has been developed and is available for download. It includes industry standard fouling factors for chillers, typical replacement time and costs to manually clean heat exchangers, and other cost and energy use assumptions based upon U.S. Department of Energy published standards.
What about YOUR cooling towers and chillers?
How much MONEY would YOU save by installing such a system?
