FAQ
Alfa Laval cooling tower maintenance in Markman
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a mining & bulk air cooling site in Markman?
Markman sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Markman Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency cooling tower maintenance runs 24/7 because underground heat stress limits shift productivity.
Do you stock OEM components for Alfa Laval systems?
Yes — Alfa Laval plate packs, gaskets and cleaning-in-place chemistry. Alfa Laval (Sweden) equipment on R717/R744/R134a charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every cooling tower maintenance job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the MHSA documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Mining & Bulk Air Cooling run at +2 °C to +12 °C chilled water at 90–100% RH, with cooling tower maintenance performed against +28 °C to +40 °C condenser water. Underground heat stress limits shift productivity
