5

MDtowers are galvanized steel, factory assembled, counterflow cooling towers,

designed to serve air conditioning and refrigeration systems as well as light to medium industrial process loads on clean water. The Marley MD evolved from a factory-assembled concept of towers pioneered by Marley some 75 years ago, and incorporate all of the design advancements that our customers have found valuable. MD towers represent the current state of the art in this cooling tower category.

The specifications portion of this publication not only relates the language to use in describing an appropriate MD 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 28 through 39 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 33 through 39 indicate those paragraphs which will result in the purchase of a basic cooling tower—one that accomplishes the specified thermal performance, but which will lack many operation—and maintenance-enhancing accessories and features that are usually desired by those persons who are responsible for the continuing operation of the system of which the cooling tower is part. It will also incorporate those standard materials which testing and experience has proven to provide acceptable longevity in normal operating conditions.

Pages 33 through 39 provide paragraphs intended to add those features, components, and materials that will customize the cooling tower to meet the user‘s requirements.
