Additional Services
SPX’s interest in your Marley QuadraFlow cooling tower does not end with
the sale. Having conceived, designed, and manufactured the most reliable
and longest lasting cooling tower of its class, we want to make sure that you
gain the maximum possible benefit from its purchase.
Therefore, the following services are available which are intended to assure
the maximum possible service life under your operating conditions, tailor the
operating characteristics to your specific needs, and maintain consistent op-
timum thermal performance capability. They are available by contacting your
Marley sales representative.
Replacement Parts:
With the exception of the motor, every component of your tower is designed
and manufactured by SPX Cooling Technologies. We do this because com-
mercially available components have not proved capable of withstanding the
harsh environment of a cooling tower— nor do they contribute their share to
the thermal capability and operating characteristics intended.
A complete stock of all parts and components is maintained at one or more
of the various Marley plants. In cases of emergency, they can normally be
shipped within 24 hours—by air freight, if necessary. However, you would
obviously benefit from anticipating your need in advance, thus avoiding the
cost of special handling.
Be sure to mention your tower serial number (from the tower nameplate) when
ordering parts. Refer to assembly manual for part identification.
Periodic Maintenance:
You may wish to contract with Marley for regularly scheduled visits—for the
purpose of inspecting and reporting your tower’s condition—to make recom-
mendations intended to prevent emergencies—and to perform maintenance
considered outside the norm.
This service is not intended to replace the important function performed by
your maintenance staff. Their attention assures the tower’s routine operating
performance, and is invaluable. However, Marley recognizes that the unusual
manner in which a cooling tower performs its function—as well as the unique
forces which act upon it—may be considerations which occasionally require
the services of an expert technician.
