■ Your specification base establishes the type, configuration, base materi-
al and physical limitations of the cooling tower to be quoted. During the
planning and layout stages of your project, you will have focused your
attention on a cooling tower selection that fits your space allotment,
and whose power usage is acceptable. Limitations on physical size and
total operating horsepower avoid the introduction of unforeseen opera-
tional and site-related influences. Specifying the number of cells, and
the maximum fan kW/cell will work to your advantage.
The benefit of crossflow towers is that they are inherently easy to oper-
ate, access and maintain. Compared to counterflow towers, crossflow
towers have a spacious plenum between banks of fill for easy access to
all of the tower’s internal components, plus the water distribution sys-
tem is adjacent to the fan deck and can be maintained during operation.
The NC is also available unassembled for on-site assembly.
