Reversal may be at either full or half speed; however, reversal at half 
speed is recommended. Reverse operation of the fan should be used 
sparingly and should only be used to control ice, 

not

 to prevent it. 

Reverse fan operation should not need to exceed 1 or 2 minutes. Monitor-
ing is required to determine the time required to melt accumulated ice.

Reverse operation of fans for prolonged periods during subfreezing 
weather can cause severe damage to fans and fan cylinders. Ice can 
accumulate inside fan cylinders at fan blade plane of rotation and 
fan blade tips will eventually strike this ring of ice, damaging the fan 
blades  or  cylinder.  Ice  can  also  accumulate  on  fan  blades  and  be 
thrown off, damaging fan cylinder or blades. Allow a minimum of 10 
minute delay between reverse operation and forward operation during 
subfreezing weather to permit ice to dissipate from fan blades and 
fan cylinders. See Fan Drive Caution note on page 12 for fan speed 
change and reversing precautions.

intermittent Wintertime Operation:

If  periods  of  shutdown  (nights,  weekends,  etc.)  occur  during  freezing 
weather, measures must be taken to prevent the water in the cold water 
basin—and all exposed pipework—from freezing. Several methods are 
used to combat this, including automatic basin heater systems and pump 
freeze protection systems available from Marley. 

Basin heaters systems will not prevent the coil from freezing.

Unless some means of freeze prevention is incorporated into your 
system, the tower basin and exposed pipework should be drained at 
the beginning of each wintertime shutdown period.

If tower basin is drained, verify that all basin heaters have been shut 
off either by automatic cutoff or disconnect switch.

Protection against Coil Freezing:

Ethylene and propylene glycol solutions are the best means to protect the 
coil from freezing. The following table provides the coil volume for each 
MH Fluid Cooler model. MHF706 and MHF707 coil volumes are for both 
coils added together.
