PreVent® Air Intake Filtration on Cooling Towers Saves Thousands!

Cooling towers across the country are getting fouled out and clogged with airborne particles and debris.  Whether the system is being used for industrial process or environmental air handling, thousands of dollars and hours are being wasted on repair downtime and maintenance. Contaminated debris is continuously drawn into the air intake of cooling towers, fouling the cooling water and increasing the need for chemicals to clean up sludge build-up, bacteria proliferation and bio-film on internal surfaces which lead to corrosion of the basin walls.  Debris insulates the coils, causing heat build-up, higher discharge pressure and amp draws.  Reduced air flow causes equipment to run for longer cycle times, at reduced capacity.

Permatron’s Patented PreVent® air intake filters provide the first line of defense in preventing debris from entering the system.  PreVent® filters are made of permanent, washable black polypropylene, with UV protection.  The media contains an inherent electrostatic charge that does not diminish over time, catching and holding particles much like iron filings are attracted to a magnet.  When confronted with environmental moisture and weather conditions or corrosive areas, the filter continues to maintain its impingement/screening capabilities.   Installation of the filter requires no system modifications or electrical hookups.  Custom made to exact dimensions with either a flexible vinyl, galvanized or stainless steel edge, PreVent® can be affixed with a unique hook/loop or magnetic strip attachment around the perimeter of the air intake, or grommets for a heavy duty hook attachment.  PreVent® is also great for condenser and air cooled chiller, air handling units and louver applications.   For more information, visit our website at www.permatron.com or call toll-free for technical assistance at 1-800-882-8012.
