/ Marley Reflex™ RTM Fan Cylinder /

Having designed and manufactured cooling tower fan cylinders since the 1930s, Marley began producing FRP (fiberglass) fan cylinders in 1958, which quickly became the accepted standard within two years’ time. With considerable modeling and full scale testing, this experience led to the development of several new fan cylinder designs for a variety of tower types and fan sizes. One such development resulted in the Reflex velocity recovery cylinder in the 1980s, and is the standard design still in use today for 10’ diameter and larger fans.

21st century manufacturing technology has enabled further advancement and the introduction of the new Marley Reflex RTM industrial fan cylinder, offering a more dimensionally accurate, high quality surface finish, better fit and robust structural integrity. A light RTM (resin transfer molding) closed-molding process lends itself to increased durability for the final product, and ensures laminate thickness and weight consistency. Because the cavities are infused using rigid forms in the ribs, there is no porosity or potential sites for delamination or structural fracture to begin. Therefore, the cylinder load capacity is greatly enhanced.

The “green” benefit of the closed-molding process is the virtual elimination of VOC emissions because the resin is injected and cured in a sealed, closed mold. And because the lay-up process is now dry, a more precise laminate can be achieved, with no hand-working of resin-soaked materials, no cleaning requirements for application equipment, no hand tools using hazardous chemicals and no chemical disposal concerns.
