SPX Cooling Technologies Cooling Tower MD-08F - Manual (Page 4)

All This...
and Green, Too
designed to be
environmentally
responsible, the Md
conserves water by
keeping splash-out to
a minimum. And being
remarkably energy
efficient, it doesn’t
waste a
single kilowatt.
Restricted site conditions
counterflow towers have different footprints from crossflow towers and
offer layout alternatives. Where space is limited or otherwise restricted,
the counterflow’s smaller footprint can be a perfect fit. In addition to taking
up less site space, counterflow towers may have a lower installed weight.
Plus, piping costs can be reduced since a single inlet is usually standard.
Operation and maintenance considerations
counterflows’ tight louvers prevent sunlight from hitting the collection basin
and therefore reduce algae growth. counterflow towers offer easy access
from all tower sides. the wet surface is totally enclosed for winter operation
and protection from environmental elements, and the towers provide a
corrosion-resistant spray system.
Welded stainless steel
collection basin
For extra protection, all
collection basin parts exposed
to circulating water (including
structural members that
project into the basin) and
all attaching hardware and
basin options are heavy-gauge
series 300 stainless steel.
Marley Geareducer
Marley geareducers decrease
downtime and labor costs
thanks to longer-lasting fluid.
the suggested lubrication
interval for our geareducers
is a remarkable five years.
Electric basin heater
this electric immersion heater
is used to help prevent freezing
during cold weather.
Solid-state water level
control package
this package monitors
basin water levels with
solenoid-valve water makeup.
configurations include makeup
along with high- and low-water
level alarm and cutoff, and
electric basin heater cutoff.
Vibration switch
this option protects against
mechanical failure should the
tower experience high vibration
levels by automatically shutting
down the motor. Manual reset
ensures inspection to correct
initial vibration cause.
Variable speed drive
our variable speed drive
provides the ultimate in
temperature and sound
control, energy management
and mechanical equipment
longevity.
Control systems
these range in sophistication
from standard fan starters
to Programmable Logic
controllers that work
in conjunction with your
building or process system.
Sound attenuation
Baffles can be installed
across the length of the air
outlet opening. All baffles
are contained within a
self-supporting steel box.
Splash attenuation is
also available.
