SERIES 3000 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. The IBC rating is
only certified with standard anchorage locations. Using alternate anchorage locations or
alternate steel supports will void any IBC wind or seismic ratings. Contact your local BAC
Representative for details
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 3000
Operation & 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 3000 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.
ATTENTION:
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.
