Certified or Uncertified Products?

CTI / Eurovent Certified Independent performance test and factory audit Test procedure the same for all manufacturers Calibrated and defined measurement devices < 5% stated performance uncertainty
Minimizes tower operating costs Maximizes product life

Uncertified or other Certifications Manufacturer provides performance data Test procedure different for each manufacturer Manufacturer supplies measurement devices ~15% to 30% performance uncertainty
Increases tower operating costs Reduces product life

Many Important differences certified and uncertified

Recommendations
1. Specify CTI or Eurovent certified cooling towers 2. Clearly specify flow rate, hot water, cold water, and wet bulb temperatures

3. Do not increase the flow rate or wet bulb temp to make up for underperforming cooling towers not needed for certified towers

A certified tower assures the highest possible energy efficiency
