Cooling towers are indispensable across various industries such as airports, data centers and manufacturing facilities, where they address unique operational challenges while ensuring optimal performance. For hospital infrastructure specifically, EWK cooling towers support safe, efficient and reliable HVAC operations under very stringent regulations. Hospitals face industry-specific challenges, such as the need to ensure stringent infection control, minimize noise levels and maintain energy efficiency while meeting the high demands of their facilities.
Why are EWK cooling towers the right choice for hospital operations?
1. Infection control with SANIPACKING® technology
EWK cooling towers feature SANIPACKING® fillers and drift eliminators designed to prevent the growth of Legionella and other harmful bacteria. Here is how:
- Inhibition of biofilm formation and bacterial growth.
- Long-lasting effectiveness (3-5 years under normal conditions).
- Compliance with stringent health regulations.
This technology ensures that hospitals maintain the highest standards of safety for patients, visitors, and staff.
2. Energy efficiency and performance
EWK cooling towers are designed for optimal heat exchange and energy efficiency:
- Open circuit cooling towers – EWK-D: Efficient heat transfer and water distribution systems prevent blockages and minimize heat loss.
- Closed circuit cooling towers – EWK-C: Keep cooling agent isolated from contaminants, reducing maintenance and ensuring system longevity.
- Closed-circuit adiabatic cooling towers – EWK-A: Do not generate aerosols, do not require chemical treatment of cooling water, have low water consumption, and operate in an automatic hybrid wet-dry mode.
3. Noise reduction
In sensitive environments like hospitals, noise reduction is crucial. EWK cooling towers offer:
- Optional outlet silencers to minimize fan noise.
- Low-profile centrifugal ventilation systems for quieter operation. These features create a calm environment conducive to healing and comfort.
- Efficient IE4 electric motors, EC fans with 90% efficiency.
4. Durable and low-maintenance systems
Hospitals require systems that can withstand harsh conditions with minimal maintenance:
- Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) cladding prevents corrosion and resists extreme temperatures & specific chemical treatments.
- Easy-to-clean components ensure smooth operation and reduce downtime.
- Long-lasting materials with a lifespan of over 20 years, reducing replacement and service costs.
