Cooling Tower Fan Deck Replacement

Timely maintenance and repair of cooling towers are not just important—they are crucial for maximizing the equipment’s service life, ensuring operational efficiency, and avoiding unexpected downtime that can lead to significant production losses. In the early stages of cooling tower manufacturing, wooden materials were widely used for structural components such as fan decks, thanks to their easy accessibility and low initial cost. However, wood inherently lacks resistance to moisture, corrosion, and long-term wear; over time, it tends to warp, rot, or crack, which severely compromises the cooling tower’s stability and performance.

In recent decades, with the advancement of material science, FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) has emerged as a game-changer in the cooling tower industry. This high-performance composite material boasts exceptional advantages: superior corrosion resistance to harsh industrial environments, excellent durability that withstands extreme temperatures and humidity, lightweight properties that reduce structural load, and a long service life that far exceeds traditional wood. As a result, FRP has gradually replaced wood as the preferred material for key cooling tower components, including fan decks, among most industrial users.

TJLATINO, a trusted name in industrial equipment repair and maintenance, is currently undertaking a critical cooling tower repair project for a major client in China. The core objective of this project is to replace the severely damaged wooden fan deck with a high-quality FRP fan deck. After years of continuous operation in a high-humidity industrial setting, the original wooden fan deck had suffered extensive rot and structural damage, posing potential safety risks and reducing the cooling tower’s operational efficiency. Recognizing our expertise in FRP component replacement and cooling tower repair, the end-user entrusted us with the entire project, from on-site inspection and customized FRP component fabrication to precise installation and post-repair testing.

Our team of professional engineers conducted a detailed on-site assessment prior to the project commencement, measuring the exact dimensions of the existing fan deck and evaluating the overall condition of the cooling tower to ensure the customized FRP fan deck perfectly fits and aligns with the equipment’s operational requirements. During the replacement process, we strictly adhere to industry standards and safety protocols to minimize downtime for the client. The newly installed FRP fan deck not only resolves the existing damage issues but also enhances the cooling tower’s stability, extends its service life, and reduces future maintenance costs for the user.
