4 Preparation The Marley MH Fluid Cooler with CoolBoost™, purchased for this instal- lation repr esents the current state of the art in crossflow , induced draft fluid cooler design. Thermally and operationally , it is the most efficient fluid cooler of its class. These instructions—as well as those offered separately on motors, fans, Geare[...]

5 Preparation It is not in tend ed no r as sume d tha t ac cess to the fa n deck on sin gle- flow models—Models MHF702 thru MHF705—is needed or necessary . Those are only some of the safety issues that may arise in the design process. SPX strongly recommends that you consult a safety engineer to be sure that all safety considerations have been[...]

6 The fluid cooler must be located at such distance and direction to avoid the possibility of contaminated fluid cooler discharge air be- ing drawn into building fresh air intake ducts. The purchaser should obtain the ser vices of a Licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect to certify that the location of the fluid cooler is in comp[...]

7 Hoisting clips are provided for ease of unloading and positioning the fluid cooler . For overhead lifts or where additional safety is required, safety slings should also be placed under the fluid cooler modules. Under no circumstances should you combine the top and bottom modules of modular models and attempt to hoist them at the same time by u[...]

8 Fasteners and components provided by others that are to be at- tached to the tower must be compatible with the cooling tower materials—i.e. fasteners in a stainless steel cold water basin must be stainless steel. 6. Attach pr ocess fluid supply and return piping to the coil. Field piping connection is an NPT male connection at the coil. A weld[...]

9 • Do not start the motor more than six times per hour . Short cycling the tower will cause fuses, breakers or O.L.s to operate and will decrease motor life. When using a two-speed starter: • Motor rotation must be the same at slow speed and high speed. • Single winding motor requir es a starter with a shorting contactor . • T wo-winding m[...]

10 equipment. Electrical savings can be lar ge during periods of low ambient temperature when the cooling requirement can be satisfied at reduced speeds. T o benefit from these advantages, it is important that the drive be installed correctly . Marley supplies VFD and VFD controls specifically designed for our cooling products. If you have pur c[...]

11 Mechanical Equipment: The fluid cooler is designed to operate at full speed and half speed. W arranty is void if the tower is operated at speeds which cause damaging vibrations to the tower and associated equipment. When utilizing a variable frequency drive, the tower must be tested across the full range of speeds and checked against CTI guidel[...]

12 It is essential that the fan cylinder and fan guard be installed in ac- cordance with the drawings shipped with the tower . Do not force the fan cylinder out of round. 4. Momentarily bump (energize) the motor(s) and observe rotation of the fan(s). If rotation is backwards, shut off the fan and r everse two of the three primary leads supplying po[...]

14 7. While operating the recir culating water pump(s) and prior to operat- ing the cooling tower fan, execute one of the two alter native biocidal treatment pr ograms described in the following: • Resume tr eatment with the biocide which had been used prior to shutdown. Utilize the services of the water treatment supplier . Maintain the maximum [...]

15 Fluid Cooler Operation General: The cold process fluid temperature obtained from an operating fluid cooler will vary with the following influences: 1. Heat load: With the fan in full operation, if the heat load increases, the cold process fluid temperature will rise. If the heat load reduces, the cold process fluid temperatur e will reduce.[...]

16 4. Air flow rate: Reducing air flow throug h the fluid cooler causes the cold process fluid temperature to rise. This is the r ecommended method by which to control leaving pr ocess fluid temperature. If your fluid cooler is equipped with a single-speed motor , the motor may be shut of f when the process fluid temperature becomes too cold[...]

17 Slushy , transitory ice forms routinely in the colder regions of the fill of low temperature towers, and is visible through the tower louvers. Such ice normally has no adverse effect on fluid cooler operation, but its appearance should be a signal to the operator to undertake ice control procedures. It is the operator's responsibility to [...]

18 Reversal may be at either full or half speed; however , reversal at half speed is recommended. Reverse operation of the fan should be used sparingly and should only be used to control ice, not to prevent it. R e ve rs e fa n op er at io n sh ou ld no t ne ed to ex ce ed 1 or 2 mi nu te s .

19 When the use of industrial antifreeze solutions is not possible, the system must be operated to meet both of the following conditions. 1. Maintain sufficient flow rate through the coil. 2. Maintain sufficient heat load on the process fluid. Fluid exiting the coil must be maintained at or above 45°F . Cycling of the r ecirculation pump shoul[...]

20 W ater T reatment and Blowdown Maintaining W ater Quality: The steel used in MH Fluid Cooler's has been galvanized with a heavy zinc coating averaging 2.0 mils in thickness. Other materials used (PVC fill, drift eliminators, and louvers, aluminum fans, cast iron Geareducer , etc.) are selected to of fer maximum service life in a “normal?[...]

21 Fluid Cooler Cleaning: Any evaporative-type fluid cooler must be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis to minimize the growth of bacteria, including Legionella Pneumophila, to avoid the risk of sickness or death. Service personnel must wear proper personal protective equipment during decontami- nation. Do NOT attempt any ser vice unless the fan[...]

22 (percent of flow) required to maintain different concentrations with various cooling ranges*: * Range = Differ ence between hot water temperature and cold water temperature. EXAMPLE: 700 GPM circulating rate, 18°F cooling range. T o maintain 4 concentrations, the required blowdown is 0.458% or .00458 times 700 GPM, which is 3.2 GPM. If fluid [...]

23 Maintenance See Figure 3 for MH Fluid Cooler models MHF706 and MHF707.The belts are adjusted by turning the threaded rod. Before tightening or loosening the belt, the double nuts holding the motor support in place must be loosened. There ar e two jam nuts at the end of the rod next to the casing. T ur n the nut closest to the end of the rod to t[...]

24 Maintenance sion is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. Check tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of run-in operation. Overtensioning shortens belt and bearing life. Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause slipping. Never apply belt dress- ing as this will damage the belt and [...]

25 Fluid Cooler Maintenance Some maintenance procedur es may require maintenance personnel to enter the fluid cooler . Each cased face of the fluid cooler has a door for access to the interior of the tower . The optional fan deck ladder—models MHF706 and MHF707— is de- signed and intended solely for personnel to gain access to the fan deck. T[...]

26 W eekly: Inspect for bacterial growth and general operation conditions. Bacterial growth should be reported to your water treatment expert for immediate attention. Monthly (W eekly at start up): Observe, touch, and listen to the fluid cooler . Become accustomed to its normal appearance, sound, and level of vibration. Abnormal aspects relating t[...]

Replace fill plugs and operate mechanical equipment 30 minutes to one hour to pur ge excess grease at grease r elief opening. 5. Reinstall grease r elief plugs and reinstall guard. 6. Resume normal fluid cooler operation. [...]

29 has remained effective. Unless there is evidence of a generalized failure of the galvanizing, localized touch-up should be all that is requir ed. T o the extent that the galvanizing (zinc coating) still exists, paint will not adhere to it readily . Contact the manufacturer of the coating you intend to use for instructions.
