The University awarded a contract for Chicago Cooling Tower repair .
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate repairs were needed to prevent further loss or damage to University property.
Imbert International Inc. dba Chicago Cooling Tower Company is the exclusive representative for BAC equipment and replacement parts in Northern Illinois.
UIC�??s Cooling tower repair is necessary because the Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) tower fill is deteriorated from UV exposure. The repair is urgent now because spring inspection revealed it will not endure a few more years as previously expected. This tower fill is not only falling apart but plugging up the chillers that produce chilled water for the west campus. Without this repair the ability of the west chiller plant to maintain cooling to the campus will be greatly reduced. That reduced cooling ability would impact required cooling needs at the hospital and other west campus facilities. The repair services include removal of all existing fill media and supports from the cooling tower cells and install an OEM- BA Cross II® Wet Deck with integral drift eliminators and supports.
