An example of the dollar savings expected for refurbishing a tower vs. replacement is when Bond Water Technologies completely refurbished four (4) 200 ton cooling towers (800 tons total) at a cost of approx.$80,000.00 vs. the cost of new towers quoted at $100,000.00, plus installation costs.ooling Tower Replacement can be a costly proposition and the average life expectancy of a commercial cooling tower, according to most manufacturers, is 15 â 20 years, before they need to be rebuilt or replaced.
One ton of cooling is equal to the amount of heat it requires to melt one ton of ice in one day. That equals 288,000 btu's per 24 hours, 12,000 btu's per one hour or 200 btu's per minute. One ton of cooling is equal to 12,000 BTU/hour. Well, first of all, the cooling ton is a measure used to represent the capacity of an air conditioning or refrigeration system.
