Long and reliable service life

Low energy consumption

  • Evaporative cooling for system-wide energy saving at lower operating temperatures.
  • Axial fan uses half the energy of similar centrifugal fan units.
  • Factory tested high efficiency coil.
  • High efficiency/VFD duty fan motors

Easy maintenance

  • Full cold water basin access when removing the combined inlet shields. 
  • Easy no-tool removal of casing side panels gives access to heat transfer coil for easy inspection and cleaning.
  • Easy removable spray branch arms, eliminators and combined inlet shields.
  • Easy access to motor and drives from above the cooling tower.
  • Upgrade the unit with motor removal davit arm for quick and safe service of motors and fans.
  • Removable suction strainer with anti-vortex hood.

Operational safety

  • Closed loop or circuit tower, no airborne contaminants enter and foul the system
  • Easy-to-clean and easy-to-inspect FCI towers reduce hygiene risks from bacteria (e.g. Legionella) or biofilm inside
  • Dry operation possible in winter time.
  • Combined inlet shields block sunlight to prevent biological growth in the tower, to filter the air and to stop water splashing outside.

Low installation cost

  • Reduce rigging time with the fan plenum section self-aligning with the coil casing section. Motors and drives are factory installed and aligned.
  • All models can mount directly on parallel I-beams.
  • Use smaller, less costly cranes by shipping in multiple sections to minimize the size and weight of the heaviest lift.
