Phelps Engineering specializes in improving the performance of industrial cooling towers, and has accomplished that with our propriety designs for more than 45 years. Phelps Engineering has specialized in the upgrade of cooling towers for over 45 years. We have designs for the upgrade of both crossflow and counterflow towers. Our upgrades normally get between a 3o and 5o F improvement in cooling water temperatures.

Because we are able to pack so much performance in a tight space and because our best upgrades are in more vertically oriented crossflow towers we are able to get more performance from a smaller footprint than other towers, either crossflow or counterflow. We have provided consulting to some of the largest companies in the country for all aspects of cooling tower operations.

These have included performance questions as well operations questions, and government regulatory questions. We have also written cooling tower best practices manuals. Phelps Engineering helped write the Cooling Technology Institute test code.
Services
Phelps Engineering Company has been in cooling tower upgrade business since 1970 and is privately held.
The company is engaged in improving the performance of cooling towers through our cooling tower upgrade designs.
We install the designs and guarantee the results.
Phelps Engineering Company has an established track record of successfully meeting thermal performance, and completing projects on time and within budget.
The strength of Phelps Engineering Company resides in its vast expertise in all areas of cooling towers and the markets served by cooling towers, assuring performance capability.
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device, which extracts waste heat to the atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature.
Common applications for cooling towers are providing cooled water for air-conditioning, manufacturing and electric power generation.
In cooling towers water which has been heated by an industrial process or in an air-conditioning condenser, is pumped through pipes to the cooling tower.
The water sprays through nozzles onto heat transfer media called "fill, " which slows the flow of water through the cooling tower, and exposes as much water surface area as possible for maximum air-water contact.
Phelps Engineering has specialized in the upgrade of cooling towers for over 45 years.
We have designs for the upgrade of both crossflow and counterflow towers.
Our upgrades normally get between a 3o and 5o F improvement in cooling water temperatures.
Our upgrades are turnkey where we provide the materials and the labor, and guarantee our results.
We provide labor that meets your safety requirements.
Our upgrades are normally done during the cooler times of the year when one cell at a time can be taken out of service.
Because we are able to pack so much performance in a tight space and because our best upgrades are in more vertically oriented crossflow towers we are able to get more performance from a smaller footprint than other towers, either crossflow or counterflow.
Counterflow towers tend to spread out to a large footprint to get their performance while crossflow towers use height to cool the water.
We take the normal performance found in a crossflow tower and make it even better.
If adequate real estate space for a new tower or additional cells is a concern, then you should consider using our cells.
Phelps Engineering helped write the Cooling Technology Institute test code.
We can perform tests to see how your tower now stands as far as performance.
We can do this to get a baseline performance point as well as monitor a tower's performance over time.
Below is a partial listing of some of Phelps Engineering Company's more notable installations.
The 14 cell tower (Phelps) at the top performs at 100% of specified design capability.
The 18 cell tower in the middle, tested at 82% of design and the 16 cell tower at the bottom tested at 84%.
