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 Tempe
- Tight sites: Downtown and lakefront buildings often have little room at grade. Units may need to sit in a loading dock, garage, or closed lane, which can require a street-use permit from the City of Tempe.
- Streetcar and light rail: The Tempe Streetcar and light rail run along several downtown streets, limiting where trucks can stop and where hoses or cables can cross.
- Campus and event timing: Deliveries near ASU and Town Lake may need to avoid class changes, games, and events. Mention the location so timing can be planned.
What does cooling tower rental cost in Tempe?
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.
