Unit Weights Before rigging any BAC equipment, the weight of each section should be verified on the unit certified drawing. These weights are approximate and should be confirmed by weighing before lifting when available hoisting capacity provides little margin for safety.
Purge Requirements The installer of BAC closed circuit cooling towers must ensure a proper air purging of the system prior to operation. Entrained air can restrict the capacity of the cooler, resulting in higher process temperatures.
Since the equipment operates at variable speeds, steps must be taken to avoid operating at or near the installation's "critical speed"; For more information consult your local BAC Balticare representative. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Each fan associated with this equipment should be installed with a lockable disconnect switch located within sight of the equipment. No service work should be performed on or near the fans unless motors are electrically isolated.
BAC will guarantee all products to be free from manufactured defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of shipment. In the event of any such defect, BAC will repair or provide a replacement.
RIGGING General Notes 1. The equipment arrives on site by truck. A crane must always be used to unload the unit from the truck. Do not attempt to unload the unit using a forklift. 2. Spreader bars of the full width of the section must be used between the lifting cables to prevent damage to the section.
Rigging Method To avoid damage during hoisting, a spreader beam should be used and the angles shown in the diagrams below must be observed. End View End view Side View All 2-fan units 3-fan units (A-models – Fan diameter 910 mm) 2 Rigging 2 Rigging W W W .

SECTION ASSEMBLY Installed Adiabatic Pre-Cooler CONNECTION OF DRAINS The surplus of water distributed over the Adiabatic Pre-Cooling media during adiabatic operation is collected into a gutter and drained to the sewer via one or two different drains per pre-cooler side. Each Adiabatic pre-cooler section is equipped with a separate bottom drain guaranteeing full emptying and drying of the gutter system after each adiabatic cycle.
Draining System – inside Draining System - outside It is therefore necessary to regularly clean the Adiabatic Gutter system to remove all solids. Access for cleaning is given to the inside of the gutter system after removal of the Pre-Cooling Media. For cleaning sequence see Table "About Rigging and Installation"...

Control Panel with Variable Frequency Drive The fan speed is controlled on the basis of the actual process fluid temperature at the exit of the unit and the design leaving temperature, ensuring a minimum in electrical consumption and noise levels. The adiabatic pre-cooling will be activated and stopped on the basis of a pre-programmed logical combination of the fan speed and the ambient temperature (release set-point).

3. MANUAL INVERTER OPERATION: by pressing "HAND ON" on the inverter's LCP, the fans start at the minimum rpm at which the inverter was programmed. By pressing arrow key up "↑" on the LCP, the maximum programmed rpm can be reached and by pressing arrow key down "↓" the rpm can be reduced to the minimum programmed rpm.
