TERMINOLOGY
The following descriptions are provided to ensure all
persons working with the IDSC equipment are familiar with
the terminologies used.
Basin:
An assembly located at the base of the unit de
-
signed to hold a volume of recirculated water while pro
-
viding connections for the water recirculation pump, drain,
and overflow. It is also known as a pan or sump.
Water recirculation pump:
Closed coupled, centrifugal
type impeller, with mechanical seal required to circulate a
specified flow rate of water over the heat exchange coil(s).
Basin section (induced draft unit):
An assembly com

prised of the basin, support columns, air inlet louvers,
make-up water connection, and other small parts required
for proper unit operation in the field. The basin section is
usually shipped separate from the rest of the unit.
Basin section (forced draft unit):
An assembly comprised
of the basin, support columns, axial motors/fans, enclosure
panels, make-up water connection, and other small parts
required for proper unit operation in the field. The basin
section is usually shipped separate from the rest of the
evaporative unit.
Inlet louvers:
Enables ambient air to enter the unit at the
basin section, while preventing water from splashing out
and direct line of sight into the basin during unit operation.
There are many different profiles, sizes, and materials of
construction.
Sump/strainer connection:
Appropriately sized cross-sec

tional area, box or pipe, that is greater than or equal to the
suction connection size of the water recirculation pump.
Strainer:
An assembly used to catch large suspended par
