Marley / Sigma F Series CoolingTower /

3

The Sigma F Series is a field-erected, crossflow, fiberglass-structure cooling tower designed

to serve normal air conditioning and refrigeration systems as well as medium sized industrial loads. Evolving from the crossflow concept of cooling tower pioneered by Marley in 1938, and incorporating over

65 years of design advancements, the Sigma F Series represents the current state of the art in this cooling tower category.

This booklet not only relates the language to use in describing an appropriate Sigma F Series cooling tower—but also defines why certain items and features are important enough to specify with the intention of insisting upon compliance by all bidders. The left hand column of pages 12 through 27 provides appropriate text for the various specification paragraphs, whereas the right hand column comments on the meaning of the subject matter and explains its value.

Pages 12 through 19 indicate those paragraphs which will result in the purchase of a cooling tower which will not only accomplish the specified thermal performance, but which will include normal operation and maintenance-enhancing accessories and features. It will also incorporate those standard materials which testing and experience has proven to provide best results in normal operating conditions.

Pages 20 through 27 provide some paragraphs intended to add those features, components, and materials that will customize the tower to meet the user's requirements.

Space does not permit definition and explanation of all of the possible options that can be applied to the Sigma F Series. SPX Cooling Technologies realizes that you, the purchaser, must be happy with the tower's characteristics, and we are prepared to provide—or provide for—any reasonable enhancement that you are willing to define and purchase.

Your needs will become part of the continuing improvement of this product line.
