The Marley industrial counterflow cooling tower has proven
itself as one of the most efficient and reliable designs ever. The
F400 cooling tower is a logical engineered evolution of this
proven design, making use of pultruded fiberglass shapes as
structural members.
Proven through years of successful chemical plant
construction, pultruded fiberglass is ideal for the wet, corrosive
cooling tower environment. It’s strong like steel but at a fraction
of the weight. Yet, it will not corrode from chemical exposure or
moisture, and it resists deterioration from sunlight.

The F400 cooling tower elevates the proven Marley
structural design to an even higher level of dependability and
performance.
■ Theory Equals Performance
The engineering properties of Marley fiberglass structural
members are predictable and consistent. Laboratory testing
verifies the structural designs before their application in cooling
towers.
■ Quality Structural Connections
Bolted, non-glued design provides the highest reliability under
the most adverse conditions. Stainless steel fasteners are used
throughout the F400 in conjunction with bearing sleeves to
minimize fiberglass shear stress in the bolted joints.
■ Permanent Structural Stability
Marley structural designs reflect the actual conditions of heat,
moisture and dynamic loading encountered in cooling towers.
These structures are up to the task!
