WHY CHILLERS, COOLING TOWERS AND OTHER HVAC EQUIPMENT NEED PREVENT®

The PreVent® system stops airborne debris from entering HVAC equipment nearly everywhere, from data centers to ocean liners to your local fast-food restaurant. Without PreVent, debris like cottonwood seeds and insects shorten equipment life and increase maintenance and utility bills.

REACH-IN COOLERS

IT’S TIME TO PREVENT HVAC PROBLEMS

When it comes to HVAC equipment, the PreVent system reduces maintenance and service calls, extends the life of your customer’s equipment, and, in most cases, delivers a solid ROI in less than two years.

Chillers And Similar Hvac Equipment

Industrial chillers draw in ambient air and recirculate it. That means they also can circulate environmental dirt and debris that can block the chiller’s fins and condenser coils. This makes HVAC equipment work harder, and energy bills soar.

PreVent keeps most of these contaminants out. The savings from energy and cleaning costs alone may easily exceed $20,000 per unit.

The refrigeration components in reach-in coolers are often hidden at the base, where they suck in dirt, food debris and snow salt. This can lead to equipment failure and high energy bills. The units need regular cleaning, which can blow chemicals and contaminants into food preparation areas and onto the display cases. PreVent air intake filters reduce maintenance and cleanings by protecting those condenser coils. Patented magnetic stripping makes installation and washing removal a snap.

Cooling Towers

Cooling tower fans recirculate outside air, drawing in large amounts of contaminants. Cleaning costs can add up to thousands of dollars and require countless labor hours.

PreVent air intake screens stop airborne contaminants, improving equipment reliability and efficiency. They also promote optimal heat transfer, prevent sludge buildup in water basins, curb clogging and even diffuse sunlight to help fight algae growth.

MAKE-UP AIR UNITS

MUAs rely on high-efficiency filters such as pleats, V-banks or bags to capture outside dust, debris and other contaminants. This can require frequent filter changes, which can be costly—both in terms of equipment and labor.

PreVent air intake filters keep environmental elements outside, keeping HVAC equipment cleaner, performing better, lasting longer and requiring fewer change-outs and maintenance.
