Tower Location
Space available around the tower should be as generous as possible to pro-
mote ease of maintenance—and to permit freedom of airflow into and through
the tower. If you have questions about the adequacy of the available space
and the intended configuration of the tower, please contact your Marley sales
representative for guidance.
Prepare a stable, level support foundation for the tower, utilizing weight, wind
load, and dimensional information appearing on appropriate Marley submittal
drawings. Supports must be level to insure proper operation of the tower.
The cooling tower must be located at such distance and direction
to avoid the possibility of contaminated tower discharge air being
drawn into building fresh air intake ducts. The purchaser should ob-
tain the services of a Licensed Professional Engineer or Registered
Architect to certify that the location of the tower is in compliance
with applicable air pollution, fire, and clean air codes.
Tower Assembly
Your Marley sales engineer is able to provide for the tower assembly by Marley’s
construction division or through a qualified subcontractor. Our subcontrac-
tors provide safe, efficient assembly which complies with all requirements for
warranty protection of your tower by SPX Cooling Technologies. Refer to the
NC Fiberglass Assembly Manual
for instructions.
Before assembly make sure that the tower orientation agrees with
your intended piping arrangement.
Except for horizontal components of top-mounted piping and as
prescribed on Marley drawings, do not support your pipe from the
tower or outlet connection—support it externally.
For maintenance/safety purposes, SPX recommends a lockout
type disconnect switch for all mechanical equipment. In addition
to a disconnect switch, the motor should be wired to main power
supply through short circuit protection, and a magnetic starter with
overload protection.
