19 19 ENGINEERING DESIGN LAYOUT Air Flow When considering installation the unit must have suitable fresh air available to ensure correct operation of the system. Care must be taken to ensure moist air does reticulate back into the air inlets and due consideration must be given to ensuring discharge air does not flow into separate fresh air intake for building air-conditioning systems. Consult local regulations for details. Multiple Cells When using or combining multiple cells as a single component cooling source, equalizer lines must be installed to ensure balanced operation. Units must be mounted on the same level on secure plinths. Pipe Work Valves should be installed on all pipe connections and the correct pipe sizes must be used to ensure correct operation. Pipe work and other components to the system should be installed in a manner that ensures the system water does not flow into the cooling tower causing overflow and water loss on shut down. On start up the water level would drop considerably causing air to be introduced into the system. Preferably such pipe work and components should be located under the level of the basin operating level. Pipe work and ducting cannot be supported from the tower structure. De-Rating If installing cells hard against each other then a de-rating must be applied - generally around 5%. Consult Fibreflow Cooling Towers for confirmation. Placement When installing in plant rooms and applying ductwork and restricted air supply the external static pressure will increase. Motor size will need to be increased to overcome additional load - consult factory for advice. Layout Clearances Refer to engineering for layout clearances. Rule of thumb, 1500mm all around minimum.

20 20 ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE Health and Safety Fibreflow Cooling Towers adhears to local government regulations and Australian Standards. Working Platforms Fibreflow Cooling Towers offers a full range of working platforms with access ladders, low level and high level, multiple cell platforms and movable working platforms. All platforms conform to the Australian Standard AS1657. Configuration Standard configurations are available as shown, as well as custom-made to suit a specific location. Materials Material including hot dipped galvanized steel, aluminium, stainless steel and fibreglass. Crane Mounting Davit cranes mounted on platforms for motor removal are also available as shown.

21 21 SOUND LEVELS Noise The noise that humans can hear covers a frequency from 20Hz to 10,000Hz. There are exceptions, however these levels have become accepted for most practical purposes. This audio band has been divided into eight bands called octave bands. The noise of cooling towers is controlled by many contributing factors such as layout, adjacent structures, variable speed drives, etc. Low noise options are available please consult your representative for further assistance. Sickle Fan The Sickle axial fan series are the answer for generating pressure with low noise axial fans. The sickle blade s swept design and thin trailing edge reduce pure tones in the sound spectrum and decrease vortex shedding to generate low wake turbulence for a quieter axial fan. The sickle profile s large chord length and overall surface area also combine to generate greater pressure at slower speeds. The sickle axial fans are Fibreflows natural choice for applications where low noise capabilities are a much required first priority. Reduces noise by up to 7 db(a) Maintains performance at lower speeds Sickle Blade Large chord length generates greater pressure

22 22 LIFTING TECHNIQUES Lifting Lifting Cooling Towers incorrectly can cause the unit to buckle. Please take the following precautions when installing your towers or alternatively, have Fibreflow take care of installation for you. Use soft slings only Beware of possible crushing of the Tower Casing when Lifting Use only Tested and Tagged Lifting Gear Licensed Crane Operators Always insure there is an exclusion zone whilst lifting is underway Cooling Tower Being Lifted Refer to our factory for further information. Cooling Tower About to be Lifted

23 23 PLINTH ARRANGEMENTS Plinth arrangements are done based on the size and weight of the cooling tower. Please refer to our factory or your representative for further information.

24 24 VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES Variable Speed Drive Cooling Tower Fans Cooling towers are used in conjunction with water cooled chillers which are highly efficient. The tower fans cool the water with ambient temperature air. Drives replace two speed motors to regulate the condenser water temperature. During light loads or cool days, the cooling tower has too high of a capacity. The drive regulates the fans speed to maintain the set point to optimise the energy consumption. A temperature sensor is placed in the condenser water return line or in the cooling tower basin. A minimum speed of 15% is needed on gear driven fans to maintain proper gear lubrication. System Advantages Substantial Energy Savings No Air Surge/ Water Hammer on Start-up Redused Noise Wider Operating Range Cooling Tower Fans Sensor Placement Fibreflow Cooling Towers recommends the use of VSD s on all installations to conserve energy, and reduce wear on mechanical components.

25 25 FREIGHT Freight Depending on transport requirements, box sizes up to 3850 x 1450 are generally shipped assembled, unless otherwise specified x 2400 units are shipped in two sections for final assembly on site, alternatively these are supplied in complete knock down format (CKD) All other units are shipped in CKD format to reduce transport and handling costs. Cooling Tower Components Packed for Shipping Fiberflow has a fleet of trucks to deliver your Cooling Tower to any destination around Australia and can also ship to anywhere in the world.

26 26 SITE ASSEMBLY Site Assembly Fibreflow Cooling Towers offer a complete onsite assembly service to ensure that the products are assembled in the correct manner. They can be assembled quickly and safely onsite or offsite depending on your needs. Fiberflow can work well with many companies/ contractors to ensure that the assembly is completed smoothly whilst onsite. It is not compulsory that Fibreflow Cooling Towers or its authorised representatives assemble the units however it is preferred. Cooling Tower Being Assembled CKD units can be purchased with assembly instructions for those wishing to assemble themselves. Cooling Tower Being Assembled

27 27 COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDARDS Compliance with Standards Fibreflow Cooling Towers are designed and constructed to meet the following Standards: AS Air Handling and Water Systems of Buildings Microbial Control AS Drift Test AS Wind Loads AS Code for platforms, ladders, stairways and walkways AS Australian Plumbing Code CTI STD PVC materials for use with fill, louvres and drift eliminators BCA - Building Code of Australia MEPS - Electric Motor Standard Compliance Performance Guaranteed Fibreflow Cooling Towers guarantee the THERMAL PERFORMANCE of our cooling towers The performance evaluation is taken as per CTI Test Code ATC 105 The thermal performance guaranteed is that submitted in the technical data on which the purchase order was based in free field conditions unless otherwise stated

28 28 MODULAR DESIGN Modular Design Fibreflow Cooling Towers can be assembled on site. Dedicated professional team of tradesman to assemble on site Hard to get into plantrooms, no issues. Towers are manufactured modular for that exact reason. No issues with wide load movement No issues with rain delays or road works Assured quality construction if assembled on site with no transport issues Over 30 years of on site construction experience Safety is main priority No location too remote
