4 Preparation The Marley MC Fluid Cooler purchased for this installation represents the current state of the art in counterflow , for ced draft fluid cooler design. Ther - mally and operationally , it is the most efficient fluid cooler of its class. These instructions—as well as those offered separately on motors, fans, float valves, pumps, [...]

5 Preparation 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 addressed. Several options are available that may assist you in addressing some of these personnel safety concerns, including: • Distribution[...]

6 Shipment Unless otherwise specified, the MC Fluid Cooler ships by truck (on flat bed trailers), which lets you receive, hoist, and install the tower in one continuous operation. Single-cell coolers ship on one truck. Multicell fluid coolers, depending on their size, may requir e more than one truck. Responsibility for the condition of the flu[...]

14 2. Air wet-bulb temperature: Cold process fluid temperature will also vary with the wet-bulb temperature of the air entering the fluid cooler . Reduced wet-bulb temperatures will r esult in colder pr ocess fluid tem- peratures. However , the cold process fluid temperature will not vary to the same extent as the wet-bulb. For example, a 11°C[...]

15 normal fan and motor sizes utilized on MC Fluid Coolers, anticipate that approximately 4 to 5 starts per hour ar e allowable. If your fluid cooler is equipped with a two-speed motor(s), you will enjoy gr eater opportunity for process temperatur e control. When the process fluid temperature becomes too cold, switching the fan to half-speed will[...]

16 If the minimum allowable cold process fluid temperature is estab- lished at or near minimum heat load, it should be safe for all operat- ing conditions. Having established the minimum allowable cold water temperatur e, maintaining that temperature can be accomplished by fan manipulation, as outlined in Item 4 under Fluid Cooler Operation . 2. A[...]

17 Basin heaters systems will not prevent the coil from freezing. Unless some means of freeze prevention is incorporated into your system, the towerbasin and exposed pipeworkshould be drained at the beginning of each wintertime shutdown period.

Check tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of run-in operation. T o properly adjust the belt tension, position the fan motor so that moderate pressure on the belt midway between the shea[...]

22 Included with this instruction packet ar e separate User Manuals on each major operating component of the tower , and it is recommended that you read them thoroughly . Wher e discr epancies may exist, the separate User Manuals will take precedence. The following is recommended as a minimum routine of scheduled main- tenance: Always shut off elec[...]

23 Semi-Annually: Clean and disinfect fluid cooler with biocides. Systems with biofouling, high general bacterial counts, or positive cultures of legio- nella may require additional cleaning. Refer to “Fluid Cooler Cleaning” section—page 19. Consult your water treatment expert as to prudent biological evaluation testing. Annually: Relubricat[...]

24 Fluid cooler framework: Check structural bolted connections and tighten as requir ed. Fans: Check fan assembly bolting and tighten as requir ed.
