Class 600 cooling towers are a direct descendent of the Doubleflow® crossflow tower that was designed and patented by Marley in 1938. In 1957, Marley’s development of hanging fill, wide indented louvers, and stable FRP velocity-recovery fan cylinders enabled the evolution of that Doubleflow tower into the classic Class 600 shape and function that has set the standard for splash-fill crossflow towers for the past half-century.

In addition to form and function, the Class 600 tower has also established a high standard for ease of maintenance. The open accessibility and cleanability of its key components—fill, drift eliminators, water distribution system, and mechanical equipment—takes the drudgery out of maintenance.

After 50 plus years of industrial market leadership, the Class 600 continues to be the tower of choice for users who know the value of thermal performance, dependability, operational reliability, structural integrity, and a host of other benefits that have become synonymous with the Marley name.

Class 600 cooling towers are available in various cell sizes, fill air travels, and fill heights. Within each of these cell plans, several aspects of the basic design can be varied in order to achieve optimum operating economy. The choices include variations in fill type and density, fan type and size, fan cylinder height and shape, drift eliminator type and density and water distribution method and operating head.

For each basic cell size, the designer can choose from a significant number of possible component combinations. Several of these may result in economical selections capable of the thermal performance requirements, but only one will optimally satisfy the fan horsepower, pump head, plan area, and other evaluation parameters that may have been imposed by the owner’s specifications.

Our design engineers review each cooling tower application to assure that the components selected will work together as efficiently as possible. Computer optimization assures maximum cooling from a given tower cell size for each set of design performance conditions.
