Benefits

Total Lower Installation Costs

Single or multiplexed configurations, common or segmented basins, partitioned or extended air inlets and increased capacity control steps, all are but a few examples of the flexible modular cooling tower design.

The tower can be shipped directly from the factory as a fully assembled unit, as unit modules or knocked down, to suit diverse and often restricted on-site conditions.

The low shipping weights and modular shipping options reduce transport and crane costs. Lifting lugs, provided as standard, offer secure fixing points for safe crane lifts. Lower installation costs are achieved due to flanged inlet-outlet connections, solvent welded drain connections and threaded make-up, overflow and quick-fill connections.

Low NoiseThe use of high efficiency axial fans as standard, a smooth faced streamlined air entry fan cylinder and a minimum tip clearance, all translate into a low air inlet velocity which in turn ensures noise levels are minimised. Varying fan powers can also be achieved within a nominal tower size.

Low HeightThe tower has been designed as a low height counter-flow cooling tower able to accommodate height sensitive sites, reduce pump head and provide easy access to all of its components.

Superior Pultruded Composite ConstructionThe use of high strength Pultruded Composite components for the primary structure combined with BAC's patented "Bonded Panel to Post Connection", offers many advantages over conventional hand laid or chopped strand fibreglass construction methods. Pultruded composites possess a superior strength to weight ratio of up to five times that of chopped strand fibreglass.

Superior Maintenance and Cleaning PossibilitiesAccess to complete unit interior - The large access panel is fitted with easily removable knobs. Removing the access panel does not require any tools or dismantling of the tower structure, providing unequalled access to all of the internal cooling tower components for inspection, cleaning and maintenance.

Basin Accessible from all Sides - Removal of the louvers, requiring no tools, provides access to all sides of the smooth faced cold water basin for inspection, cleaning and maintenance.

Easy Access to Float Valve - Access to and adjustment of the float valve is simplified. The stainless steel suction strainer can easily be inspected, removed and cleaned inside.

Removable Fill - The fill medium can easily be removed for cleaning thanks in part to the ample accessibility, gained by removal of the access panel, and to the easy to handle removable fill blocks.

Removable Spray System - Cleaning and inspection of the spray system can be performed insitu or by removing the spray branch arms. No tools are required for the removal of the branch arms or the individual water distribution nozzles.

Removable Eliminators - Removal of high efficiency drift eliminators can be accomplished easily without the removal of other internal components or by having to dismantle the tower structure. The eliminators rest on supports specifically designed to this purpose.

Custom Features and OptionsConstruction OptionsStandard construction: High strenght pultruded composite components for the primary structure combined with patented bonded panel to post connection.

Fan Drive SystemHigh efficiency fans with direct drive motors for models RCT-2118 and RCT-2129.Larger models are belt driven. All belt driven units have extended lubrication lines to the edge of the fan cylinder.The mechanical equipment support and fan guard are made of hot dip galvanised steel.

Optional: Mechanical equipment support assembly in SST 304.

Cold Water BasinThe RCT tower cold water basin is constructed of high performance fibreglass reinforced polyester. The suction connection is flanged.

Optional: Units can be supplied without cold water basin for field assembly on a concrete tank. A unit supplied without cold water basin excludes basin, louvers, legs, strainer, suction drain and make-up assembly.Triple fan units are always supplied without cold water basin.

Factory AssembledThe RCT Tower is completely factory-assembled.

Optional: The tower can be shipped in knocked-down version for assembly on site. This enables overseas transport in containers and significantly reduces transport cost.

Heat Transfer Surface AlternativesStandard Heat Transfer Surface: The film-type heat transfer surface supplied as standard with the cooling towers has been carefully selected for industrial applications. The 19 mm spacing between the surface sheets gives excellent air/water contact with low air pressure loss. The standard heat transfer surface provides high thermal efficiency and is sufficient to avoid clogging in most environments.Optional Film-Type Space 12 mm: For applications where the cooling tower water is clean, alternative models with 12 mm fill are available.Heavy Duty 26 mm Fill Type: Heavier contamination, which results in a heavy accumulation on the heat transfer surface, requires a higher structural strength than can be accomplished with film-type. For such situations, a heat transfer surface is available, constructed of heavy-duty wave formed FRP panels spaced 26 mm apart. With the unique integrated telescopic fill supports, the FRP fill panels can easily be removed for cleaning.

Telescopic fill supports (only for heavy duty 26 mm Fill Type)

AccessoriesTwo-Speed Fan MotorAn effective method of adding steps of capacity control and saving energy is the installation of two-speed fan motors in lieu of the standard single-speed motors. Two-speed motors are ideally suited for this purpose. At half fan speed the equipment capacity is still about 60% of design whereas the drawn fan power is only about 20% of the full speed motor power. In addition, at low speed, sound levels will generally reduce by about 9 dB(A).

Electric Water Level Control PackageThe electric water level control replaces the standard mechanical make-up valve when a more precise water level control is required. This package consists of a float switch mounted in the basin and a solenoid activated valve in the make-up water line. The valve is slow closing to minimize water hammer.

Vibration Cut-out SwitchA factory-mounted vibration cut-out switch is available to effectively protect against equipment failure due to excessive vibration of the mechanical equipment system. BAC can provide a vibration cut-out switch in an IP65 enclosure to ensure reliable protection.

Basin HeatersUnits exposed to below freezing ambient temperatures require protection to prevent freezing of the water in the cold water basin when the unit is idle. Factory-installed heaters, which maintain the water temperature at 4°C, are a simple and inexpensive way of providing such protection. The heater package includes the heaters, a thermostat and a low level cut out switch to protect the heaters if the water level is too low. Standard electric heaters are selected for -18°C ambient temperature.

Equalising ConnectionWhenever cooling towers are installed to operate in parallel, the water level in the basins should be equalised by means of an equalising connection. The equalising connection can be either a whole pattern cut out only or a connection to the basin.

Basin Sweeper PipingBasin sweeper piping provides an effective method of preventing sediment from collecting in the cold water basin of the unit. A complete piping system, including nozzles, is provided in the unit basin for connection to side stream filtration equipment (Refer to section "Technical Resources, Filtration").

Engineering Specifications1.0 Cooling Tower1.1 General: Supply and install factory assembled cooling tower of counter-flow, induced draft, axial fan design. Each cooling tower shall be guaranteed by the manufacturer to cool ___ litres per second of

water from ___ °C (HW) entering water temperature to ___ °C (CW) leaving water temperature at ___ °C (WB) entering wet bulb temperature.

2.0 Construction Details2.1 Structure: The cooling tower structure and casing shall be constructed of high strength Pultruded Composite materials. All pultruded composite components shall be moulded to exacting standards with UV resistant polyester resins such that UV protection is afforded throughout the entire embodiment of the components as well as being an externally applied coating.

2.2. Internal Surfaces: All internal surfaces of the casing, basin, roof deck and fan cylinder shall have an even and regular smooth faced finish resulting from either an open moulding or pultruded moulding process where the faces of these components come into direct contact with the mould to facilitate easy cleaning. Internal flow coated surfaces that have not come in contact with the mould shall not be acceptable.

2.3 Cold Water Basin: The basin shall be constructed of high performance Fibreglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) and reinforced in critical areas. The basin shall have a smooth internal finish and slope to a center drain for ease of cleaning. All suction, drain, overflow and quick fill connections shall be furnished as standard. The suction connection shall be flanged. Easy and complete access shall be made possible from all sides.

2.4 Air Inlet Louvers: Air Inlet Louvers shall be plastic material, designed to prevent splash out and minimise the passage of sunlight to the cooling tower interior. Louvers shall be easily removable lightweight sections providing easy access for cleaning.

304-grade stainless steel deflector shall be factory fitted at the bottom of and inside the louvers to direct water away from the louver, preventing splash out.

2.5 Access: One full side of the casing shall be removable to provide full and open access to all internal tower components for inspection, maintenance and cleaning. The access panel shall be retained by easily removable knobs, not requiring dismantling of the tower structure.

2.6 Wet Deck Surface: The film type fill shall be impervious to rot, decay and fungus or biological attacks. It shall consist of high efficiency cross-fluted sheets solvent welded into lightweight blocks sized for easy handling and removal for cleaning.

2.7 Water Distribution System: Water shall be distributed evenly over the wet deck surface by a low pressure, stationery, non rotating type water distribution system incorporating heavy duty PVC spray branches and plastic spray nozzles held into place with snap rubber grommets.

2.8 Drift Eliminators: The plastic drift eliminators shall be UV resistant and impervious to rot, decay and fungus or biological attacks. They shall consist of high efficiency three pass wave formed blades solvent welded into lightweight, easily removable sections.

2.9 Strainer: The cold water basin strainer shall be a 304-grade stainless steel cylindrical type having a solid top cover plate with a perforated mesh bottom of sufficient open area relative to the suction flow rate and by design, prevent vortexing at the outlet.

2.10 Hardware: All wetted hardware, fill, eliminator, water distribution supports and miscellaneous metal components shall be 304-grade stainless steel.

3.0 Mechanical Equipment3.1 Fan: The adjustable pitch axial flow fan(s) shall be of low noise, multi-bladed type heavy duty extruded aluminium. The fan shall operate within a FRP fan cylinder having an even and regular smooth faced internal finish ensuring a streamlined air entry and minimum tip clearance for maximum fan efficiency.

3.2 Motor: The fan motor(s) shall be to IP55 standard with Class F insulation specifically designed for cooling tower service. The fan motor shall be fully outside of the moist discharge air stream for belt driven units. The motor shall be located adjacent to the fan cylinder for ease of access for maintenance and increased motor life expectancy. The motor is to be located below the top of the cooling tower ensuring overall tower height is kept to a minimum and external of discharge ducting in such applications.

3.3 Mechanical Support: The mechanical support shall be of HDG steel construction. The entire mechanical arrangement shall simply bolt to the top of the fan cylinder for ease of access for maintenance. The fan shaft shall be of 304 stainless steel supported by heavy duty, self aligning, grease packed ball bearings specifically suited to vertical shaft application with moisture proof seals and integral slingers. Extended lubrication lines shall be provided as standard to the bearings with grease nipples located outside for ease of scheduled maintenance.

3.4 Belt Drive: Units with belt drive shall be via standard "B" section V belts for ease of availability. The motor pulley shall be located outside of the discharge air stream. The entire drive arrangement is to be protected by a hinged cover guard in HDG.
