Position of cooling towers:


      Incorrect position           Correct position

The incorrect position of cooling tower will decrease the efficiency of cooling towers.

 Safety in operation:

 * NEVER operate the fan when the access  panel or the entire fan guard is removed.

 * NEVER remove access manhole cover while  fan is in operation.

 * NEVER operate fan when any work,  access,  maintenance, trouble-shooting, etc. is  being  performed on the inside of the fan ring  assembly  or inside the tower plenum.

Piping of cooling towers:

   Piping should be adequately sized in accordance with accepted standard practices.

   • Gravity drain to indoor storage sump requires proper head differential and piping design considerations.
   Allowance must be made for flow, pipe size, piping layout and distance of cooling tower from the indoor
   Storage sump.

   • On multiple tower installations, valving and/or pipe sizing should balance pressure drops to provide equal
   Inlet pressures. Equalizing lines can be installed between cooling tower sumps and are available as an option
