ConsultaMC-monitoring provides a wide range of online monitoring solutions for industrial equipment such as pumps, fans, and cooling towers. In cooling towers high vibration levels are naturally seen on cooling towers fans, gear boxes, shafts, and motors, in comparison with equipment operating in other industrial applications. Cooling towers
ConsultaStructural and Mechanical Inspections: Conduct visual and mechanical inspections of the cooling tower and its components. Inspect for signs of wear and tear, damage, or corrosion. Excessive noise or vibration may be indicative of mechanical problems. Address these promptly to avoid extensive damage and costly repairs.

ConsultaCooling towers are critical to plant operation, but they are often under-automated and infrequently monitored due to the high cost of implementing a continuous-monitoring system. Improving control strategies and implementing wireless automation.
ConsultaLow frequency accelerometer models 793L and 797L are ideal for monitoring the gearbox and fan. The 793 and 797 IsoRing® sensors exhibit the broad frequency range required to simultaneously measure drive speed, bearing harmonics, and high frequency detection (HFD). The "L" Series provides a strong 500mV/g output to overcome data collector noise
