3. Before setting top module in place on bottom module, clean any debris
from the underside of the top module fill, skid and beams and from the
top of the bottom module and remove shipping cover from bottom of top
module—replace fasteners at side of module to prevent leaks. Place top
module on the top peripheral bearing surface (factory-installed gasket)
of bottom module, aligning mating holes as it is set in place. Attach top
module to bottom module with fasteners provided according to drawings
shipped with your fluid cooler.
4. Connect the recirculation piping with rubber coupling shipped with the
bottom module piping according to drawings shipped with you fluid cooler.
5. Attach makeup water supply piping to appropriately-sized float valve
connection located in collection water basin side wall. Install the drain
and overflow according to drawings shipped with your fluid cooler. If you
wish to pipe overflow and drain water to a remote discharge point, make
those connections at this time also.
Fasteners and components provided by others that are to be at-
tached to the fluid cooler must be compatible with the fluid cooler
materials—i.e. fasteners in a stainless steel cold water basin must
be stainless steel.
6. Attach the process fluid supply and return piping to the coil. The coil
connection type was defined based on customer preference before the
tower was ordered. The most common connection types are described
are as follows.
Except for the horizontal components of piping, do not support your
piping from the fluid cooler inlet / outlet connections — support
it externally. Normally, one of the following inlet arrangements is
provided:
Bevel and groove connection: The coil piping connections are beveled
for welding and grooved for a mechanical coupling. If weld connections are
used, it is recommended that weld areas be protected against corrosion.
Cold galvanizing is suggested for galvanized coils, applied according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
For welded or soldered connections protect adjacent areas from
excessive heat and sparks or damage may occur.
