Cooling Tower
Filtration
Automatic side-stream and full-flow filtration for cooling water systems — reducing fouling, improving efficiency, and extending equipment life.
Keep Your Cooling Systems Running Efficiently
Cooling towers are natural air scrubbers — they continuously introduce airborne debris, dust, pollen, and biological matter into the recirculating water. Without effective filtration, this contamination accumulates in the basin, fouls heat exchange surfaces, and accelerates corrosion throughout the cooling system.
Filtaworx automatic self-cleaning filters provide continuous side-stream or full-flow filtration for cooling water circuits. By removing suspended solids before they settle or deposit, our systems maintain heat transfer efficiency, reduce chemical treatment costs, and extend the operational life of chillers, condensers, and heat exchangers.
Cooling Water Challenges
Heat Exchanger Fouling
Suspended solids deposit on heat exchange surfaces, creating an insulating layer that reduces thermal efficiency and increases energy consumption.
Basin Sludge Accumulation
Debris settles in the cooling tower basin, creating conditions for biological growth, under-deposit corrosion, and blockage of distribution nozzles.
Increased Chemical Costs
High suspended solids consume treatment chemicals faster, reduce biocide effectiveness, and make it harder to maintain target water chemistry.
Legionella Risk
Stagnant sediment and biofilm in poorly filtered systems create favourable conditions for Legionella bacteria, posing a serious health and compliance risk.
Increased Blowdown
Poor water quality forces higher blowdown rates to maintain cycles of concentration, wasting both water and treatment chemicals.
Manual Filter Maintenance
Basket strainers and bag filters in cooling circuits require frequent manual cleaning, creating ongoing labour costs and risk of missed maintenance.
Filtaworx Cooling Tower Benefits
Proven performance in commercial HVAC, data centre cooling, and industrial process cooling systems across Australia.
Automatic Operation
Self-cleaning cycle requires no operator intervention. The system maintains clean water quality around the clock without manual filter changes.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Clean heat exchange surfaces maintain design thermal performance, reducing compressor energy consumption and associated operating costs.
Reduced Water & Chemical Use
Lower suspended solids enable higher cycles of concentration, reducing blowdown volume and chemical consumption.
Compact Installation
In-line installation with a small footprint. Fits into existing plant rooms and mechanical spaces without major pipework modifications.
