SERIES 1500 COOLING TOWER

Introduction

Unit Weights

Before rigging any unit, the weight of each section should be verified from the unit 
certified drawing. Some accessories add additional weight as shown on the respective 
accessory drawings.

Anchoring

Seven-eighths (7/8”) diameter holes are provided in the bottom flange of the basin section 
for bolting the unit to the support beams. Refer to the suggested support location drawing 
included in the submittal for location and quantity of the mounting holes. 

The unit must 

be level for proper operation.

 Anchor bolts must be provided by others.

Cold Weather Operation

These products must be protected by mechanical and operational methods against damage 
and/or reduced effectiveness due to possible freeze-up. Please refer to the 

Series 1500 

Operation and Maintenance Manual 

on www.BaltimoreAircoil.com, or contact your local 

BAC Representative for recommended cold weather operation strategies.

Location

All evaporative cooling equipment must be located to ensure an adequate supply of fresh 
air to the unit air intakes. When units are located adjacent to walls or in enclosures, 
care must be taken to ensure the warm, saturated, discharge air is not deflected and 
recirculated back to the air intakes.

Each unit should be located and positioned to prevent the introduction of discharge 
air into the ventilation system of any building. For detailed recommendations on BAC 
equipment layout, see our website at www.BaltimoreAircoil.com or contact your local 
Representative.

Warranties

Please refer to the Limitation of Warranties (located in the submittal package) applicable 
to and in effect at the time of the sale/purchase of these products.

Unit Operation

Prior to start-up and unit operation, refer to the 

Series 1500 Operation & Maintenance 

Manual 

shipped with the unit and also available at www.BaltimoreAircoil.com.

NOTE:

 Each unit must be located 

and positioned to prevent the 
introduction of discharge air 
into the ventilation systems of 
the building on which the unit is 
located and of adjacent buildings.

WARNING: 

Before an actual lift 

is undertaken, ensure no water, 
snow, ice, or debris has collected 
in the basin or elsewhere in the 
unit. Such accumulations will add 
substantially to the equipment’s 
lifting weight.
