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.
Please contact your local BAC representative for recommended protection alternatives. 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 representative. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 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 24 months from the date of shipment. In the event of any such defect, BAC will repair or provide a replacement. For more details, please refer to the Limitation of Warranties applicable to and in effect at the time of the sale/purchase of these products.

Care must also be taken to protect the motor from flooding or from harmful chemical vapors. BAC motors are standard duty motors designed for storage at ambient temperatures of -25°C to 40°C. Prolonged periods of exposure below or above these specified conditions could degrade components of the motor and cause malfunction or premature failure.
TVFC 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. If the unit is shipped in a closed box container, one side of the pre-cooling media construction is shipped separately in the container and needs to be installed on site.
CAUTION When the unit is installed, all metal parts created by drilling, fastening self tapping screws, grinding, welding or other mechanical works must be removed from the unit. If they remain on the unit (typically on the double break flanges) this could lead to corrosion and eventually coating damage.
9. Remove the bolts holding the unit to the skid and lift it into place in accordance with the proper rigging method. Rigging information Model Width Length Height for "W" "L" slings "H" 4-Fan 2400 2400 2100 6-Fan 2400 3600 2100 8-Fan 2400...

TVFC SECTION ASSEMBLY Installation of a "once-through" pre-cooler (Container shipment only) GENERAL NOTES 1. If a unit has to be shipped inside a container, the 2nd pre-cooler frame is shipped loose and packed separately in a crate. 2. This crate, with the parts to assemble this frame, is located in the 1st pre-cooler. 3.

3. Install the pipe clamps on the pipe supports. 4. Take the top panel, install the L-shaped hook supports at the back and place the hook through the slot (the flange at the bottom of the top panel faces forward). Fasten the bolt but not too tight, so that the hook can still rotate freely.

7. Install the water distribution pipe in the pipe clamps with the holes facing upwards and the threaded connection at the side with the electrical panel. On long units, multiple pipes need to be joined together with a rubber sleeve. 8.

10. Place the distribution deflectors on top of the supports, move the rubbers against the side panels for a proper seal. 11. In case of a split top cover (TVFC EC 8024, TVFC EC 8025, TVFC EC 8026 or TVFC EC 8027) install 2 supports on the middle deflector, as shown below.

13. In case of a bottom water collection gutter out of multiple parts, join them together with the clip and rivets after putting liquid sealant on the clip. 14. Install the bottom water collection gutter over the frame. 15. Caulk the sides and fasten with screws. 1.
16. Install the pad supports with the arrow pointing in the direction of the water flow. The support with one dot at the base of the arrow is installed at the drain, any additional support will have 2 or 3 dots and need to be installed in that order.

2. In case of a top water distribution gutter consisting out of multiple parts, join these together with M8x25 SST bolts after applying sealer at the flanges. Cut away excess sealer that is pushed out of the flanges. 3. Install top water distribution gutter between the side panels with the tallest side facing the coil. 4.

6. Install the make-up box at the top panel on the side, opposite of the water collection sump. 7. Install a closure plate on the other side. 8. Install the end of the make-up piping to the make-up box. 9. Install the top panel on the unit. 10.
Page 22
11. Install rear cover on the make-up box and fix into place with a tapper in the middle hole. 12. Install the front cover on the make-up box and fix into place with tappers in the adjacent holes. 13. Install the rear cover on the other side and fix into placer with a tapper in the middle hole. 14.

15. Install the hinges on the top panel. 16. Attach the top cover to the different hinges. 17. For a unit with a single pump, connect the pump discharge pipe to the top water distribution gutter. Tighten the screw connection at the outside and the PVC nut at the inside. 3 Section Assembly 3 Section Assembly W W W .

21. Install the bottom water collection gutter over the frame. 22. Caulk the sides and fasten with screws. 1. Corner coil support 2. Caulk corner (typ.) 23. Install the pad supports with the arrow pointing in the direction of the water flow. The support with one dot at the base of the arrow is installed at the drain, any additional support will have 2 or 3 dots and need to be installed in that order.
24. Slide the sleeve over the sump connection and tighten the clamps. 25. Install the pads in both pre-coolers with the blue color at the outside and the pre-glued distribution pad (not colored) at the top. Installation of screw-on flanges Care must be taken when installing screw-on flanges on the fluid-connections of the unit to make sure no forces are transferred from the flange to the copper header of the unit.
