Casing, Louvers | SPX Cooling Technologies 600 manual

/ Casing /

The endwalls of Class 600 towers are cased from the fan deck level to below the top of the basin curb with

8 oz/sq ft corrugated FRP sheets. FRP is waterproof and corrosion proof, is immune to biological deterioration, and requires no maintenance. Sheets are installed

on maximum 4′-0″ spans with corrugations running horizontally. Vertical joints are lapped and sealed. Horizontal joints are lapped one corrugation to shed water inward. The casing is attached to structural members with stainless steel screw shank fasteners, complete with neoprene bonded washers. Corner trim pieces are 12 oz/sq ft molded FRP.

/ Louvers /

42″ wide louver blades, made of 9 oz/sq ft corrugated FRP, prevent splash out. Exterior grade plywood louvers are used in freezing climates. Continuous 2″ x 4″ members beneath the louvers provide bearing across the entire louver width. These supports are rigidly framed into louver posts by through bolting at the bottom and are tied near the top by molded structural polypropylene tie bars.

Louvers are supported on 4′-0″ centers by 4″ x 4″ structural columns. This scheme provides more than twice the bending strength compared to designs utilizing 6′-0″ spans.

The relationship between the louvers and the direction of water flow results in a uniform, light water cascade down the inboard edge of the louvers. This cascade protects the fill from ice formation and possible damage.

Standard FRP louvers are positioned on 4′-0″ vertical centers. Plywood louvers used in freezing climates

are positioned on 3′-0″ vertical centers. This spacing eliminates stagnant areas in the fill, thereby reducing the tendency for fine moisture particles to form sheet ice, plugging air inlets.
