Cooling Towers - Refrigeration and HVAC

Cooling towers reject heat from marine refrigeration, chilled-water, and HVAC condenser-water systems by transferring heat to atmospheric air through evaporation. Marine installations require corrosion-resistant construction, compact arrangements, reliable water treatment, and suitability for vessel motion and available seawater or freshwater systems.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Cooling Towers for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Commonly referenced requirements include CTI STD-201 for thermal performance certification, ASHRAE 90.1 for energy efficiency where applicable, and applicable IEC, EN, or local electrical standards for fan motors and controls. Certification depends on the selected configuration and installation.
Class Approval	Cooling towers are not universally class-approved as standalone components. Marine approval may be required for the complete HVAC or refrigeration installation and can involve DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK according to vessel rules, location, and project specifications.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Install on a structurally adequate foundation with access for inspection and maintenance. Verify ventilation, air discharge clearance, piping flexibility, drain and overflow arrangements, vibration isolation, electrical protection, water quality, and compatibility with vessel movement and trim.
Maintenance Tips	Inspect and clean fill, strainers, spray nozzles, basin, drift eliminators, and fan assemblies. Check water level, fan bearings, belts or couplings, vibration, corrosion, scale, biological growth, and chemical treatment. Maintain blowdown and water-treatment records.
Safety Notes	Isolate electrical power and water flow before servicing. Use lockout/tagout, fall protection, and appropriate respiratory and chemical PPE. Control Legionella and other biological risks through documented water treatment and disinfection procedures.
