  • Test the PH Value of the cooling water
  • Check the water clean or cloudy
  • Is there any leakage at the float valve for Cooling Tower Fins
  • Check the function of the float valve
  • Check the water level maintain at accepted limit
  • The water distribution at the fin is uniform or not
  • Check scale formation
  • Any type of damage
  • Check electrical connection
  • Check any abnormal sound
  • Check the current and voltage
  • Check the motor hot or cool at running condition
  • Check the leakage at the pipe line and  chamber
  • Pipeline for Cooling Tower Fins
  • Outer surfaces of the equipments 
  • Painted the rusted surfaces area

Conducting Effective Drills

The following three steps are required for drills to be effective:

Plan the drill-effective drills should always be carefully planned to focus the training on a particular need. Planning the drills maximizes the benefits of conducting the drills and minimizes the amount of time wasted during the drill

Conduct the fire drill realistically – The drill should stimulate an actual condition and make the crew performing as though the actual emergency condition existed.

Conclude with a critique and discussion session immediately following the drill will identify the problem  areas   and  point  out   mistakes  while  they  are   fresh  in  the  minds  of  the   crew.

Each drill should be designed to  emphasize a single  aspect of  responding to  an emergency, even though every drill should contain all the steps necessary in a real emergency. A single drill should not attempt to teach crewmembers everything at once. Focusing  the  drill on a single aspect simplifies the drill, can increase the chances of that aspect being remembered during an emergency if necessary, and keeps the  time required  for the drill within an acceptable limit.

Select a suitable location: The location for the drill should be appropriate for the aspect being emphasized. For example a drill that focuses on life raft deployment should beheld at a life raft station. The location for a fire or another emergency situation should vary from time to time.

Avoid undue risk: Drills should avoid exposing the crew installations to situations that may place them in jeopardy. For example toxic fumes should  not be used when training crew members in the use of self- contained breathing apparatus or fires started to test fire fighting system.

The Person in Charge should avoid placing his crew in high risk situation,avoiding all risk should mild seaway can entail some risk, this risk can be reduced to  an acceptable  level with    proper maintenance and training. The benefits  of  operating  this  equipment to increase the chance of successful deployment in a  real  emergency  are  high  and  therefore worthwhile. This  type  of drill  should  be conducted   preferably in sheltered  waters  or in good weather  condition  with the minimum crew on board (3 men).The steps that should be taken after clearing the platform vessel or module are discussed.These steps include:
