Furnish and install an induced-draft, crossflow, factory-
Base:
assembled, steel cooling tower of ____ cell(s), as shown
on plans. Tower shall be similar and equal in all respects
to Marley Series 4900 Aquatower, Model _______. Tower
must be warranted by the manufacturer for one year from
date of shipment.
Performance:
Tower shall cool ____ m
to ____ °C at a design entering air wet-bulb temperature
of ____ °C and its thermal rating shall be certified by the
Cooling Technology Institute.
Construction:
Structural components of the tower, including
the cold water basin, framework, mechanical equipment
supports, casing, hot water basin, and fan cylinder shall
be fabricated of heavy-gauge steel, protected against
corrosion by Z-600 galvanizing per BS EN 10327:2004.
All components subjected to factory welding shall be hot
dip galvanized after fabrication per BS EN 150 1461:1999.
Cold galvanizing is not acceptable.
Motor(s) shall be ____ kW, Totally Enclosed, specially
Motor:
insulated for cooling tower duty. Speed and electrical
characteristics shall be 1500 (or 1500/750) RPM, single-
winding, ____ phase, ____ hertz, ____ volts. The motor
must be located out of the saturated discharge air
stream.
Mechanical Equipment:
propeller type. Fan shall be driven through V-belt(s) with a
minimum service factor of 1.5 based on full motor kW and
protected with a belt guard. The fan and fan pulley shall
be supported by oil lubricated tapered roller bearings in
a cast iron housing with externally accessible remote oil
reservoir for easy maintenance.
/hr of water from ____ °C
3
Fan(s) shall be adjustable-pitch
Fill, Louvers and Drift Eliminator:
thermoformed PVC, with louvers and drift eliminator
formed as part of each fill sheet. Fill shall be suspended
from hot dip galvanized structural tubing supported from
the upper tower structure, and shall be elevated above
the floor of the cold water basin to facilitate cleaning. Air
inlet faces of the tower shall be free of water splash-out.
Guaranteed drift losses shall not exceed 0.005% of the
design flow rate.
Hot Water Distribution System:
bank shall receive hot water piped to each cell of the
tower. The basins shall be equipped with removable
covers to keep out debris. This basin shall be installed and
sealed at the factory. Water shall enter the basin through
a removable wave-suppressor splash box. The basin
shall be no less than 162mm deep to provide adequate
freeboard against overflow and splash-out. Removable
and replaceable polypropylene nozzles installed in the
floor of the basin shall provide full coverage of the fill by
gravity flow. Nozzles must all have the same orifice size
and be spaced symmetrically in both longitudinal and
transverse directions.
Cold Water Basin and Accessories:
be factory sealed. For maximum installation flexibility,
basin accessories shall include both a side suction
connection and a hole and bolt circle in the basin floor
suitable for gravity flow. Both connections shall include
a debris screen and anti-cavitation device. A factory-
installed, float-operated, mechanical makeup valve shall
be included, having a

Fill shall be film-type,
An open basin above the fill
The cold water basin shall
