■Mechanical Equipment

Belt-driven propeller fans insure design airflow at

minimum power. Fans are supported by an oil-lubricated tapered roller bearing assembly with remote oil reservoir.

For ease of maintenance all drive components are accessible from outside the tower.

■Hoisting and Handling

Hoisting instructions on each tower explains how to use a spreader-bar and slings beneath the cold water basin floor to hoist the Aquatower. The tower’s design also allows easy handling with a forklift.

■Safety

Standard Aquatower safety features include fan guards and belt guards. Fan guards consist of welded heavy gauge steel wire hoops and spokes, hot dip galvanized after fabrication. The galvanized steel belt guard encloses both belts and pulleys. Guards are easily removed for servicing.

■Construction and Finish

Aquatowers offer the corrosion protection of Z-600 galvanized providing long term protection for the steel. Assembly hardware is also galvanized.

Caution

The cooling tower must be located at such distance and direction to avoid the possibility of contaminated tower discharge air being drawn into building fresh air intake ducts. The purchaser should obtain the services of a Licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect to certify that the location of the tower is in compliance with applicable air pollution, fire, and clean air codes.
