Cooling towers and condensers notification

Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992

If you control non-domestic premises you must ensure that you notify the City Council of any cooling tower or evaporative condenser (notifiable devices) on the premises. Cooling towers and evaporative condensers help to remove excess heat from sites like power stations or chemical plants.

You must tell us in writing if you have a cooling tower or evaporative condenser, unless:

• it contains no water that’s exposed to air
• its water supply is not connected
• its electrical supply is not connected

If you make any changes to your cooling tower or evaporative condenser, you must tell us about them in writing immediately.

To notify the City Council of a new installation go to the Application Form (pdf 155kb)

We maintain a register of local cooling towers. When we get your notification we will send you an acknowledgement and your details will be placed in the register. There is no charge for this service.

Details of registered cooling towers are as below:
