Cooling Tower Replacement

Cooling tower replacement means removing an old or failing tower and installing a new one in its place. When a tower has reached the point where repairs just don’t make sense anymore, getting a new one can restore efficient cooling and significantly reduce the high running costs associated with an outdated unit. Franklin Hodge designs, manufactures, and installs replacement cooling towers for industrial and commercial sites across the UK and worldwide.

When to Replace a Cooling Tower Instead of Refurbishing It

Not every tired tower needs replacing. If the structure is sound, our cooling tower refurbishment service can restore performance for a fraction of the cost. Replacement makes sense when the damage runs deeper: a corroded structure beyond repair, repeated breakdowns, poor efficiency that inflates energy bills, or a cooling load the old tower can no longer meet. If you are spending more each year to keep an old unit limping along, a new tower usually pays for itself.

Choosing the Right Replacement Cooling Tower

The right replacement depends on your cooling load, water flow, and site. Our Carter Environmental range covers evaporative cooling towers and air blast coolers, so you can match the technology to the job. The BAL, BUC, and SAN evaporative towers handle flow rates from 6 to 600 cubic metres per hour, in single or multi-cell layouts, built in 304 or 316L stainless steel. Where a site suits dry cooling, the air blast cooler line includes closed circuit and adiabatic options. You can compare the full range of Carter Environmental cooling towers before you decide.

Replacing Any Make of Cooling Tower

We replace cooling towers of any make, not only our own. If you are running an ageing unit from another manufacturer, or a legacy Carter or Visco tower, we can replace it with a new Carter Environmental system built at our Birmingham facility. That means one supplier for the survey, the new tower, and the years of service that follow.

How a Cooling Tower Replacement Works

A replacement starts with a site survey, often using a drone, to assess the existing tower and the space around it. We then size and design the new tower around your cooling load, manufacture it in Birmingham, remove the old unit, and install and commission the replacement. Once it is running, ongoing cooling tower servicing keeps the new system efficient and reliable for the long term.

What Drives Cooling Tower Replacement Cost

No two replacements cost the same. The main factors are the cooling capacity you need, the stainless steel grade, whether the tower is single or multi-cell, site access for removal and installation, and any ancillary equipment. Rather than quote a misleading figure up front, we price each replacement against your actual requirements, so the number you get reflects the tower you need.
