Over time, evaporative cooling media naturally begins to break down – and when it does, your cooling system pays the price. As media becomes dirty, clogged, and saturated with scale or algae, your system has to work harder just to keep up, putting your entire investment at risk. From higher energy bills and reduced airflow, to lower cooling efficiency and premature wear on motors and fans, aging media can quietly drain performance and drive up costs. That’s why replacing your evaporative media isn’t just a recommendation; it’s essential. Here’s how Condair can help you stay ahead of these issues and protect the performance, longevity, and efficiency of your cooling system.
Condair offers the most complete and comprehensive media replacement service available today. Read on to learn more about our comprehensive solutions and get a free Media Replacement ROI Analysis.
What Happens to Evaporative Cooling Media? Evaporative cooling media, typically made from cellulose or glass fiber, is sturdy by design for a good reason: it is constantly exposed to water, chemicals, heat, dust, and airborne contaminants. Over time, these conditions gradually wear down even the best media. As the media ages, it becomes less effective at absorbing and evaporating water, which leads to a chain reaction of problems: increased energy and water consumption, reduced airflow, diminished cooling capacity, and added strain on motors and fans. If left unchecked, this degradation can result in costly maintenance or even complete system failure.
What Is the Impact of Old Media? When evaporative media reaches the end of its lifecycle, your cooling system starts to suffer – often in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Degraded media leads to:
The good news? These issues are preventable with timely and proactive media replacement.
