COOLING TOWER

SCOPE OF WORK

The cooling tower manufacturer shall be responsible for the design, fabrication, and delivery of
materials to the project site, and for the erection of the tower over supporting grillage provided by
others.

DESCRIPTION

Supply and install an Induced-draft, CTI Certified (as per CTI STD-201) Crossflow, field-erected FRP
cooling tower of ............... cells, as shown on plan. The tower shall be capable of cooling ...............
LPM of water from ...............° C to ...............° C at a design wet bulb temperature of ...............° C.

The cooling tower manufacturer shall guarantee the performance of the tower as installed according
to plans.

CONSTRUCTION –

The cold water basin, hot water distribution basin, fan deck, fan cylinder and access door shall be
formed of inert glass fibre-reinforced polyester (GRP). All hardware, including structural columns
shall be fabricated of HDG steel. This shall include the mechanical equipment support structure, fan
guards, and all bolts, nuts and fasteners used in the construction of the tower. HDG steel or
Aluminium Ladder shall be provided for access to fan deck.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT –

Fan(s) shall be propeller type, incorporating heavy duty blades of cast aluminium alloy or high
strength, inert composite material (GRP). Blade pitch shall be individually adjustable. Fan(s) shall be
driven through a right angle, industrial-duty, oil-lubricated, geared speed reducer. Speed reducers
employing pulleys and belts will not be acceptable. Standard motor(s) shall be ............... HP, TEFC
weather proof, squirrel cage induction type. Asynchronous speed and electrical characteristics shall
be 1450 RPM, single winding, 3 phase, 50 hertz, 415 volts. Motor shall be located outside the humid
interior of tower, in a corner on the fan deck. Motor shall be VFD compatible and will be of high
efficiency class IE3. The motor shall be connected to the gear reducer by a dynamically balanced
HDG steel driveshaft equipped with neoprene flexible coupling elements. A neoprene oil guage and
drain line shall extend from the gear reducer to the motor enclosure, and shall be equipped with an
easily visible oil sight glass. The mechanical equipment for each cell shall rest on a rigid HDG steel
support that resists misalignment between the motor and the gear reducer.

FILL, LOUVRES & DRIFT ELIMINATORS –

Fill shall be film type, vacuum-formed PVC, with louvres and drift eliminators formed as part of the
fill sheets. Fill sheets shall be individually suspended from galvanized iron structural tubing
supported by the tower columns and shall be elevated above the floor of the cold water basin to
facilitate cleaning. Air inlet faces of the tower shall be free of water splash-out, and guaranteed drift
losses shall not exceed 0.005% of the design water flow rate.
HOT WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The GRP hot water distribution basin shall be equipped with metering orifice-type polypropylene
nozzles to deliver incoming water by gravity to the fill. Nozzles shall be easily removable and
replaceable. The hot water basin shall be covered by removable GRP covers that keep out sunlight
and give a finished appearance to the tower.

COLD WATER BASIN & ACCESSORIES -

The GRP cold water basin shall be sealed watertight and shall include a float-operated mechanical
make-up valve, a 100 mm diameter overflow connection and an HDG steel debris screen with side
outlet.

WARRANTY

The manufacturer shall warrant the entire tower (including the motor) against deficiency in
performance and failure due to defects in materials and workmanship for a period of atleast
eighteen (18) months following shipment to the site, or 12 months after the date of startup,
whichever is sooner, provided that the Purchaser shall give the company immediate written notice
of the discovery of any such defects.

AMC

Annual Maintenance Contract shall be done by the Cooling Tower manufacturer for a period of
minimum 2 years after completion warranty period. Genuine Spares shall be procured from cooling
Tower manufacturer only.
