SPX Cooling Technologies’ Services

Our interest in your AV Series cooling tower does not end with the sale. Having conceived, designed, and manufactured the most reliable and longest-lasting cooling tower of its class, we want to make sure that you gain the maximum possible benefit from its purchase.

Therefore, the following services are available which are intended to: as- sure the maximum possible service life under your operating conditions; tailor the operating characteristics to your specific needs; and maintain consistently optimum thermal performance capability. They are available by contacting your Marley sales representative.

Replacement parts: With the exception of the motor, drive system, and float valve, every standard component of your tower is designed and manu- factured by SPX Cooling Technologies. We do this because commercially available components have not proved capable of withstanding the harsh environment of a cooling tower—nor do they contribute their share to the thermal capability and operating characteristics intended.

A complete stock of all parts and components is maintained at one or more of the various Marley plants. In cases of emergency, they can normally be shipped within 24 hours—by air freight if necessary. However, you would obviously benefit from anticipating your need in advance, thus avoiding the cost of special handling.

Be sure to include your tower serial number (from the tower nameplate) when ordering parts.

Periodic maintenance: You may wish to contract with SPX Cooling for regularly scheduled visits—for the purpose of inspecting and reporting your tower’s condition—to make recommendations intended to prevent emer- gencies— and to perform maintenance considered outside the norm.

This service is not intended to replace the important function performed by your maintenance staff. Their attention assures the tower’s routine operating performance, and is invaluable. However, we recognize that the unusual manner in which a cooling tower performs its function—as well as the unique forces which act upon it—may be considerations which occasionally require the services of an expert technician.
