How should I handle a closed cooling tower that's leaking water?


When it comes to leakage failures in closed cooling towers, the first issue you typically encounter is corrosion-related water seepage from the tower structure itself. This, to a large extent, leads to uneven wall thickness—resulting in brittle leaks precisely where the material has thinned out significantly.

When it comes to leakage failures in closed cooling towers, the first issue you typically encounter is corrosion-related water seepage from the tower structure itself.

In fact, to a large extent, this can lead to uneven thickness in the body of the closed cooling tower, and where the thickness is particularly thin, destructive water leaks are likely to occur.

Leakage phenomenon

When a closed cooling tower develops a leak, it actually leads to an increase in its water consumption.

When it comes to the material—aluminum-zinc coated steel—we should actually consider replacing the aluminum-zinc-coated sections.

Leakage Scenario

When leakage occurs at the plate connections where the water basin of the closed cooling tower is attached, pay attention to the joints between the galvalume steel sheets during the assembly of the cooling tower.

Actually, we’ll simply apply焦 (Jiao) for compaction and sealing treatment. When the equipment runs continuously for an extended period, it will subsequently be subjected to the impact force of sprayed water, which could cause the sealant to peel off.

Big brand

When it comes to water pumps leaking—though it’s actually quite rare—we should promptly contact the pump manufacturer. "Oasis Ice Peak exclusively uses top-tier, first-line brand-name pumps."

When the spray water is concentrated entirely above the pool at the bottom, we should also pay attention to ensuring that any leaks are promptly addressed—and, in fact, continuously replenished—especially when it comes to closed-loop cooling tower systems.

Actually, it’s just aluminum-zinc coated steel sheet. At this point, we should really fill the internal gaps of the closed cooling tower with sealant to effectively stop any leaks.
