When a cooling tower at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in the South Bronx was nearing its expected end of life, the management saw an opportunity, according to an article on the ACR News website.
The hospital chose an anti-microbial cooling tower option. They also focused on finding a system that would save energy.
Fully-compounded with an anti-microbial resin, the towers chosen has additives that operate on a cellular level to prevent uncontrolled growth of microorganisms and biofilm.
Another factor affecting the hospital’s decision to adopt the new cooling tower was the promise of substantial energy savings. The installation of the new towers added to efficiencies, because the towers chosen were smaller and lighter.
