1.0Base:

1.1	Furnish and install an induced-draft,	■ Your specification base establishes the type, configuration, base
	crossflow-type, field-erected, structural	material, and physical limitations of the cooling tower to be
	fiberglass-framed, PVC film-fill, industrial-	quoted. During the planning and layout stages of your project,
	duty cooling tower of _____ cell(s), as	you will have focused your attention on a cooling tower selection
	shown on Plans. The limiting overall	that fits your space allotment, and whose power usage is accept-
	dimensions of the tower shall be _____	able. Limitations on physical size and total operating horsepower
	wide, _____ long, and _____ high to the	avoid the introduction of unforeseen operational and site-related
	top of the fan cylinder. Total operating	influences. Specifying the number of cells, and the maximum fan
	horsepower of all fans shall not exceed	hp/cell will work to your advantage.
	____ hp, driven by ___ @ _____ hp	Your reason for specifying a crossflow type is that crossflow tow-
	motor(s). Pump head, including static lift
	above top of cold water basin curb (or	ers are noted for the accessibility and maintainability of all oper-
	top of supporting steel), shall not exceed	ating components. The spacious interior provides easy access
	____ feet of water. Tower shall be simi-	to fill, drift eliminators, all basin accessories—and is one of two
	lar and equal in all respects to Marley	primary accessways to the fan, Geareducer, and other mechani-
	Sigma F Series, Model _______.	cal components.
		At the fan deck level, the hot water distribution basins are easily
		inspected and cleaned—while the tower is operating, if neces-
		sary. The mechanical equipment can also be readily accessed
		from this level.
		Except for the cold water basin, no counterflow tower component
		requiring routine maintenance is as easily accessed. The confined
		areas that typify counterflow designs, particularly of forced draft
		configuration can make difficult work for maintenance personnel!
