Cooling Towers and Evaporative
Condensers
All premises where cooling towers and evaporative condensers
are situated must register with the Council under The Notification
of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations
1992. The Council should also be notified if the unit is
decommissioned and/or disinfected, or where there is a change in
owner (within one month of this occurring).
Cooling towers and evaporative condensers are often linked to
outbreaks of legionnaires disease. Legionnaires disease is a
pneumonia type illness, caused by the bacteria, Legionella
pneumophila. The bacterium is carried in small water droplets
and is commonly found in poorly maintained cooling towers.
Operators of cooling towers and evaporative condensers should
ensure there is a programme of maintenance for the system,
including cleaning and disinfecting regimes.
Registering a cooling tower or evaporative
condenser
