Effective Filtration Equals Great HVAC Energy Savings

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Energy efficiency, life cycle costing, going green, sustainability, LEED certification, return on investment (ROI), water conservation, etc. Each is an important topic right now for design, specifying, and product engineers. But proving the actual costs, expenses, and efficiency of building systems can be extremely difficult.
Life cycle cost analysis is a method for assessing the total cost of owning and operating a facility. It takes into account not just the initial cost of acquiring a building or piece of machinery, but the effective savings that will result from that machinery as well. This is critically important for equipment and systems which require a large initial outlay of costs, but which save money (usually through energy savings and other means) over the life of the machinery and the facilty.
High Performance HVAC Equipment
Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC systems) account for 39% of the energy used in commercial buildings in the United States. There are numerous energy analysis software tools which can be used to evaluate current and potential system configurations for most efficient operation, resulting in HVAC energy savings. Water filtration equipment is sometimes overlooked in these programs, but the return on investment of a properly sized and installed cooling tower filtration system is usually extremely good. When all factors and current costs are compared with the reduced costs AFTER a filtration system is installed, the payback period is often less than 1 year.

Continuing Cooling Tower Cleaning Without Any Downtime
Cooling towers get dirty, and require periodic maintenance to remove dirt and sludge and other particulates that build up in the basin. This periodic maintenance can be greatly reduced if an effective CONTINUOUS filtration method is used to prevent solids from accumulating in the tower basin, or from fouling the heat exchanger. A very effective method for implementing this continuous filtration is by installing a LAKOS TowerClean system for basin cleaning.
