A system that contains one or more cooling towers is referred to as a cooling tower system. The cooling tower system is used to circulate cool water, which is eventually used in air conditioning. The process of evaporative cooling takes place through the cooling tower that reduces the temperature of water. The cooled water is then piped through an interface having an air handling system. This allows the water to cool the air. After the air is cooled, the ventilation pipes deliver it into the building. Managing cooling towers are extremely important for protecting public health. Poorly managed cooling tower systems could result in the ideal situation for growth and transmission of harmful legionella bacteria. This legionella bacteria are mostly present in indoors and mainly in your air conditioners due to the presence of dirty water. These bacteria could be extremely dangerous and its disease is known to cause a high fever, headache etc. Therefore, understanding the importance a

Legionella Bacteria It is common for the cooling towers to get contaminated with the Legionella bacteria at some or other point in time. Though you can’t prevent the entry of organisms in the cooling towers, an effective water treatment program can help in reducing the risk of Legionella and also make sure safe operations and longer system life of the cooling tower. It is important to follow the Legionella Regulations for Legionnaires prevention .     Good maintenance of the cooling towers is necessary for keeping Legionella at bay. Cooling towers are a concern as they contain warm water which is the perfect place for the Legionella bacteria to breed if the towers are not cleaned properly. Thus, it is the responsibility of the owner to manage the risk. Here’s a look at the risks and how to prevent them: 1.    The quality of source water The water usually comes from municipal or well supply but can come from a holding tank as well which can sludge and rust.
