maintenance
Eliminators may be used as a walking surface for tower inspec-
tion and typical maintenance. For those instances of frequent or
prolonged servicing, it is necessary to protect the surface with
plywood or planking.
To remove the eliminator, stand inside the access panel and lift with two hands
on an eliminator section, this will indicate where one section stops and another
starts. Lift the eliminators at that intersection, removing two packs at one time
(see image). Once the first two packs are removed, the remaining packs should
be easily removed. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement, they
are not symmetrical. Each pack should be replaced at the location which it
was removed. Repeat this process for the second half of the tower.
Proper eliminator pack replacement is essential to tower operation.
Incorrect installation may result in excessive drift rates and fan
inefficiency! To ensure packs are reinstalled in the correct orienta-
tion, it is recommended that one pack is left in its original location
inside the tower as a reminder of pack orientation. Place packs in
the tower in the order they were removed. Packs should nest tightly
with each other, leaving a level surface with no gaps. The last two
packs should be installed at the same time. Place the final two
packs according to the image above, and push down to complete.
