All cooling tower seams shall be sealed toprovide watertight joints.2.1 COLD WATER BASINThe cold water basin section shall be constructed of G-235galvanized steel to provide maximum durability and excellentresistance to rust and corrosion. The G-235 galvanized steelcold water basin section area shall include all componentsfrom the base of the unit up to the top of the air inlet louversupport which the louver attaches to and where the casingpanels start. The G-235 material means that an averagecoating thickness of 2.35 ounces of zinc per square foot shallbe applied to the steel surfaces. The cold water basin shall bedesigned with a tiered configuration allowing for reduced watervolume to be retained in the basin which shall lower operatingweight, and allow for easier maintenance. The cold waterbasin section shall include piping locations for the overflow,make-up, drain, and outlet connections. On multiple cell unitsan internal equalization system will be provided which allowsisolation of individual cells for maintenance. When a coldwater holding tank is utilized in the overall design, the outletconnection shall be designed as a bottom discharge type forgravity feed. The make-up, overflow, and drain connectionsshall be located on the remote tank instead of the cold waterbasin. ACT offers beveled for weld, grooved, and flanged inlet/outlet connections.2.1a (OPTION) STAINLESS STEEL COLDWATER BASINThe cold water basin section shall be constructed of stainlesssteel 304 (316) steel to provide superior service life, durabilityand excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. The stainlesssteel 304 (316) steel cold water basin section area shallinclude all components from the base of the unit up to the topof the air inlet louver support which the louver attaches to andwhere the casing panels start. The air inlet louver framesshall also be designed with stainless steel 304 (316)materials. The cold water basin shall be designed with atiered configuration allowing for reduced water volume to beretained in the basin which shall lower operating weight, andallow for easier maintenance. The cold water basin sectionshall include piping locations for the overflow, make-up,adrain, and outlet connections. On multiple cell units aninternal equalization system will be provided which allowsisolation of individual cells for maintenance. When a coldwater holding tank is utilized in the overall design, the outletconnection shall be designed as a bottom discharge type forgravity feed. The make-up, overflow, and drain connectionsshall be located on the remote tank instead of the cold waterbasin. ACT also offers welded cold water basin seams.2.2 INTERNAL SUPPORT MEMBERSThe cooling tower shall be constructed of heavy-gauge G-235galvanized steel for maximum strength and durability. Allweight bearing support pieces will be fabricated from heavygauge steel to ensure structural integrity of the unitthroughout its service life. All supports will be fastened withgalvanized hardware and fasteners.2.2a (OPTION) STAINLESS STEEL INTERNALSUPPORTSThe cooling tower shall be constructed of series 304 (316)stainless steel for maximum protection against corrosion andto ensure structural integrity of the unit throughout its superiorservice life. All weight bearing support pieces will befabricated from heavy gauge steel. All supports will befastened with stainless steel series 304 (316) hardware andfasteners. Self tapping fasteners shall not be accepted.2.3 CASING PANELSThe casing panels shall be constructed of G-235 galvanizedsteel to maximize the life of the cooling tower and minimizerust and corrosion. The casing panels shall be designed withheavy-gauge steel that incorporates flanged edges formaximum strength and durability. The panels shall befastened to the cooling tower structure with all seams sealedto provide watertight joints.*Options are indicated in italics or stated as (OPTION).www.AmericanCoolingTower.com18

American Cooling Tower, Inc.Specifications2.3a (OPTION) STAINLESS STEEL CASINGPANELSThe casing shall be constructed of series 304 (316) stainlesssteel to maximize the life of the cooling tower and providesuperior protection against rust and corrosion. The casingpanels shall be designed with heavy-gauge steel thatincorporates flanged edges for maximum strength anddurability. The panels shall be fastened to the cooling towerstructure utilizing stainless steel 304 (316) series stainlesssteel hardware with all seams sealed to provide watertightjoints. Self tapping fasteners shall not be accepted.3.0 MECHANICAL COMPONENTS3.1 FAN MOTORHP Premium Efficiency totally enclosed fan cooled(T.E.F.C.) ball bearing fan motor(s) with a minimum 1.25service factor shall be furnished and suitable for cooling towerservice on volts, hertz, phase. Themotor(s) shall be installed on an adjustable base which ismounted on the side of the unit for service. The fan motorshall be designed in accordance with MGI, part 31 suitable forinverter duty operation. The motor shall also be designedexclusively for use in cooling tower environments and shallhave both external and interior epoxy protective coating andshall be supplied with RS2 sealed bearings to maximize life.A protective cover shall shield externally mounted motors andmechanical drive system from the weather. For units wherethe motor is located internally, the motor shall be installed onan adjustable motor base but shall not include any protectiveweather coverings in order to provide complete accessibility tothe mechanical drive system for maintenance and inspection.3.2 FAN DRIVEThe fan drive system shall be belt driven consisting of a multigroove, solid back Banded V-belt with taper lock sheavesdesigned for 150% of the motor nameplate horsepower.Multiple single belt systems shall not be accepted.
