Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers

Introduction

Cooling Tower EUGO logoAll premises where cooling towers and evaporative condensers are situated must register with the local authority under The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992.

The prime purpose of this is to identify potential areas that could give rise to the spread of infectious disease e.g. legionella and to ensure preventative measures are taken to eliminate the risk of such infection arising to employees and the public.

Given the right set of circumstances legionella can multiply and cause infection in people who inhale airborne water droplets containing the bacteria.

For this reason all cooling towers and evaporative condensers in premises within the Wyre Forest district must be registered with Wyre Forest District Council, Environmental Health section.
