Cooling Towers Types We Service
Open-Loop Cooling Tower Repair for Facilities
Open-circuit cooling tower repair in Egypt — the most widespread type of evaporative cooling: water is sprayed directly over the fill and meets the outside air. Common brands: BAC, Marley, Evapco and round FRP towers. Call 16062 for periodic service that keeps it efficient.
In an open tower the cooling water meets the outside air directly, so part of it evaporates — that is what carries the heat away. Because the water is exposed to dust and contamination all the time, this system needs regular water treatment. Common faults are clogged spray nozzles, algae in the basin, and fan corrosion.
Signs it needs service
- A drop in the water flow rate from the sprayers
- Heavy white scale building up on the fill
- Foul odors and cloudy water in the basin
- Rising fan noise and vibration of the tower structure
- Water overflowing the basin (faulty make-up valve)
- A sudden drop in cooling efficiency of the chiller connected to the tower
- Green algae growing on the inner tower walls
- Corrosion or holes in the fiberglass fan blades
Common faults
- Clogged spray nozzles — one of the most common faults
- Salt and algae buildup on the fill pack (fill pack scaling)
- Make-up float valve failure
- Worn fan motor bearings
- Worn or snapped V-belts
- Clogged suction strainer
- Damaged drift eliminators (increased water loss)
- Corrosion of the metal basin and water leakage
What we do
- Cleaning and unclogging spray nozzles and replacing damaged ones
- Chemical washing of the fill to remove salts and algae
- Repairing and replacing float and make-up valves
- Replacing motor bearings and belts (original or compatible)
- Cleaning and sanitizing the lower basin and strainers
- Replacing the drift eliminators to reduce water loss
- Sealing and restoring fiberglass water basins
- Mechanical balancing of the fans to ensure stability
Care tips
- Wash the basin and strainers weekly to keep debris away from the pumps — after isolating and locking out the fan and pump power, and wearing a mask, gloves and eye protection (the spray can carry Legionella)
- Make sure the chemical dosing system is working to disinfect the water — and never mix chemicals
- Inspect the spray nozzles monthly; any clogged sprayer reduces the cooling area
- Review the belt tension regularly; slipping cuts fan speed and wastes energy
- Carry out periodic blowdown of part of the water to reduce salt concentration
Questions
Why does the tower throw out a lot of water spray?
Usually the drift eliminators are damaged or broken; they catch water droplets and stop them escaping with the air. They should be replaced to save water and cut the spray around the tower. Call 16062.
Can fully clogged fill be cleaned?
If the clogging is very hard scale, chemical cleaning may not work and the fill must be replaced to restore cooling efficiency.
What is the service life of open tower fill?
Usually 5 to 8 years, depending on the water treatment and the type of fill.
Closed-Loop Cooling Tower Repair for Facilities
Closed-circuit cooling tower repair in Egypt — used to protect sensitive systems from contamination: the cooling water flows through closed coils and never touches the air directly. Brands: BAC (Baltimore Aircoil) and Marley. Call 16062 for coil and pump service.
In a closed tower, the process water stays clean and sealed inside the coils, and cooling comes from spraying external water over the coils as air passes through. This reduces corrosion of the chiller and internal equipment. Common faults include external coil corrosion, spray pump failure, and clogged external spray nozzles.
Signs it needs service
- A hard salt layer forming on the copper or galvanized coils
- External spray pump failure (spray stops)
- Process water temperature rising despite the fan running
- Visible rust on the heat-exchange coils
- Low water level in the external spray basin
- Loud noise from the secondary spray pump
- Corrosion in the air blower fan blades
Common faults
- Corrosion and perforation of the heat-exchange coils (coil leakage)
- Spray pump failure
- Salt scaling on the external coil surface
- Clogged secondary water spray nozzles
- Faulty fan motor or gearbox
- Corrosion of the external tower structure
What we do
- Repairing and welding coil perforations or replacing the coils
- Chemical cleaning of the external coil surface to remove salts
- Servicing and replacing the secondary spray pumps
- Cleaning and unclogging the external spray nozzles
- Mechanical service of the fan, motor and gearbox
- Recoating the metal structure with corrosion-resistant materials
Care tips
- Keep the external spray water clean; it is the main cause of coil corrosion
- Inspect the coils periodically to make sure there are no process-water leaks
- Make sure the spray pump is running properly — if the spray stops, cooling capacity drops sharply
- Descale the outside of the coil every season to keep heat transfer good
Questions
What is the advantage of a closed tower over an open one?
The key advantage is that the cooling water inside the building stays clean and sealed from air and dust, so corrosion and scaling are much lower, which extends the life of the chiller and internal equipment. The loop still needs water treatment.
If the coil gets a hole, can it be welded?
Yes, welding is possible for minor perforations, but if the corrosion is widespread, it is better to replace the whole coil for safety.
Counter-Flow Cooling Tower Repair for Facilities
Counter-flow cooling tower repair in Egypt — counter-flow describes the airflow, not a separate tower type: the air moves upward against the falling water, and the tower itself can be open or closed. A space-saving, high-efficiency design. Call 16062 for fan, distribution and fill service.
In counter-flow, the coldest air (at the bottom) meets the coldest water, giving high cooling efficiency, and the water is distributed through pressure nozzles above the fill. In a cross-flow tower, by contrast, air enters from the side and the water falls by gravity from open distribution basins on top, so the distribution is easier to service but the tower usually needs more space. Common counter-flow faults include unbalanced spray pressure, top fan motor failure, and fill clogged with heavy dust.
Signs it needs service
- Uneven water distribution over the fill
- Violent vibration noise from the top of the tower (the fan)
- Large amounts of water escaping with the rising air
- Dust and silt accumulating at the bottom of the tower
- Outlet water temperature higher than normal
- Corrosion in the drive shafts
Common faults
- Worn top fan motor bearings — one of the most common faults
- Unbalanced fan blades
- Partial clogging of the pressure distribution nozzles
- Worn or broken motor flexible couplings
- Fill clogged with settled dust
- Faulty vibration switch
What we do
- Mechanically balancing the fan blades
- Replacing motor bearings and couplings
- Cleaning and unclogging the pressure distribution nozzles
- Washing the fill and removing settled dust
- Repairing and servicing the vibration and safety sensors
- Servicing the upper water distribution systems
Care tips
- Make sure the vibration switch works — it stops the fan if vibration rises, which protects the tower
- Clean the distribution nozzles regularly to ensure full water coverage of the fill
- Inspect the upper fan support structure for any rust that weakens its stability
Questions
Why is the counter-flow system considered more efficient?
Because the air passes through the full depth of the fill against the flow of the water, giving a longer contact time and more heat transfer in a smaller footprint.
The fan shakes the whole building — what should I do?
Stop the fan and isolate its power straight away — this is a serious mechanical imbalance that needs the fan balanced and usually the bearings replaced. Call 16062.

Why Agent Site?
Booking With the Right Details
Tell us the tower type, the number of cells and the water temperature. We ask about the last cleaning and treatment, and the technician comes with cleaning and measuring equipment.
Understanding Cooling Water
The problem is not only mechanical: dissolved solids (TDS), scale and biocide matter too. We check the make-up water and bleed-off, which protects the chiller and the heat exchanger.
Legionella Risk
Hotels and hospitals must take the Legionella risk seriously. We clean and disinfect the basin and fill, and recommend a water-treatment and regular testing program with a specialist company.
Mechanical Maintenance
We inspect the gearbox, bearings, blade pitch and vibration. Even minor vibration can break a fan or a shaft, so we fix the cause before anything breaks.
When the Chiller Trips
If a chiller is tripping on high pressure because of the tower, call 16062 (calls answered 24 hours). We book the earliest available visit (9 AM–9 PM) and focus on restoring heat transfer.
Performance Test
After maintenance we measure the approach temperature and the inlet–outlet difference, and check the water distribution. Handover is based on numbers, not impressions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book cooling tower maintenance?
Call 16062 and tell us the tower type, the number of cells and the problem. We arrange a measurement and cleaning visit at the earliest available slot (9 AM–9 PM).
What is the difference between counter-flow and cross-flow towers?
These are two airflow arrangements, and either can be an open or a closed tower. In counter-flow towers the air rises against the falling water, usually giving higher efficiency and a smaller footprint. In cross-flow towers the air enters from the side and the water falls from distribution basins on top, which makes the distribution system easier to maintain at some sites.
Do you work on BAC, Marley and Evapco towers?
Yes — we service BAC, Marley (SPX), Evapco, Niagara, Paharpur and Delta towers, as well as round FRP towers. Call 16062 and send a photo of the tower’s nameplate.
Do you handle Legionella control?
We clean and disinfect the basin and fill and check the bleed-off and make-up water, and we recommend a water-treatment program with regular Legionella testing by a specialist water-treatment company.
The chiller trips on high pressure — is the tower the cause?
Very possibly, if the fill is clogged, the fan is weak or the water is not evenly distributed. The inspection measures the approach temperature and isolates the cause.
Do you cover factories and industrial cities?
We cover industrial areas in Cairo, Giza, Qalyubia, Alexandria, Sharqia, Gharbia, Dakahlia and the North Coast (Matrouh) — call 16062 and we will confirm your area.
Do you install new fill?
Yes — we install PVC or splash fill depending on the water quality and the type of dirt. Choosing correctly matters so it does not clog quickly.
What is the lifespan of a cooling tower?
An FRP structure can last 15–25 years; the fill, belts and bearings are replaced periodically depending on water quality and operation.
Need a cooling tower technician now?
A fouled cooling tower makes the chiller trip at the height of the heat. Call 16062 before the building comes to a standstill.
