Cooling tower rental at a glance
- Typical capacity: rental towers commonly range from roughly 100 to 1,000 tons or more per unit, and units can be combined for larger plants
- Power: fans and any pumps typically need 460/480V three-phase power, or a generator where building power isn’t available
- Hoses & water: condenser water hoses or temporary piping to the plant, a make-up water connection, water treatment, and a drain for blowdown
- Footprint: usually trailer-mounted and delivered by truck; needs a level, truck-accessible area with clear airflow, and sometimes a crane where the permanent tower sits on a roof
Good fits: standing in for a building cooling tower during repair or replacement; supplemental heat rejection for water-cooled chillers in peak summer; process cooling loops in manufacturing and plastics; pairing with a rental water-cooled chiller on larger temporary plants.
Those are typical ranges, not a sizing. The right unit and quantity depend on your heat load in tons, the power available, and how hot the space gets on the worst afternoon. Get a rough number with the tonnage calculator, and the rental company will confirm it.
Planning temporary cooling in Scottsdale
- Noise and placement: Resorts and residential areas often want generators and outdoor units out of sight and earshot. Plan placement and cable or hose runs with the venue before delivery.
- Events and tents: Large tented events may need a special event or tent permit from the City of Scottsdale and fire department review. Cooling and generator placement are part of that layout.
- Monsoon storms: Late-summer storms bring wind, dust, and humidity. Outdoor event cooling should be secured, and evaporative coolers lose effectiveness when it’s humid.
What does cooling tower rental cost in Scottsdale?
Cooling tower rental is usually quoted weekly or monthly and varies with tonnage, duration, and how the tower ties in. As a rough, commonly cited ballpark, expect from around a thousand to several thousand dollars a week depending on size, plus delivery, hoses or piping, water treatment, power, and any crane or mechanical labor.
