Advanced Features
in Forced Draft, Counterflow Towers
LSTA Series
LSTA centrifugal fan forced draft cooling towers are recommended for a wide range of applications. LSTA models are
very quiet and ideal for applications where noise is a concern. In addition, sound attenuation packages are available
to further reduce the sound levels.
The centrifugal fans can also operate against the static pressure loss of ductwork and are suitable for indoor installations, or those with inlet or outlet ductwork.
LRT Series
LRT cooling towers are forced draft, centrifugal fan models
designed specifically for applications requiring low height. Their
compact, yet user-friendly design makes them ideal for smaller
applications.

EVAPCOAT Corrosion Protection System: The Standard for Cooling Towers
EVAPCO, long known for using premium materials of construction, has developed the ultimate system for corrosion
protection in galvanized steel construction the EVAPCOAT
Corrosion Protection System. Marrying corrosion free materials with heavy gauge mill hot-dip galvanized steel construction to provide the longest life product with the best value.
fied in EVAPCO units, with the largest nonclog water diffusers available for cooling
towers. The diffusers are threaded into the
water distribution header to ensure correct
positioning. Also, a collar on the diffuser
extends into the header and acts as an antisludge ring to reduce the need for maintenance. For corrosion protection the diffusers
are made of ABS plastic and distributor pipes
are non-corrosive Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).

The film type fill design used in the forced draft cooling tower
line is the culmination of thousands of hours of research and
testing conducted by EVAPCOs own research engineers. This
program has produced a cooling tower fill with superior heat
transfer per unit of surface, reduced channeling in flow passages, improved drip enhancement for lower air side pressure
drop and exceptional structural strength.
The fill is specially designed to induce highly turbulent mixing
of the air and water for heat transfer. This is made possible by
forming the raw fill into corrugated panels on which there are
small ridges. These ridges serve many purposes, one of
which is to create agitation in both the water and the air in the
tower. This increase in turbulence prevents channeling of the
water and promotes better mixing of air and water, therefore
improving heat transfer. In addition, special drainage tips
allow high water loadings without excessive pressure drop.
The fill is constructed of inert polyvinyl chloride, (PVC). It will
not rot or decay and is formulated to withstand water temperatures of 55C. The fill also has excellent fire resistant qualities providing a flame spread rating of 5 per ASTM-E84-81a.
(The flame spread rating scale ranges from 0 for non-combustible to 100 for highly combustible). Because of the
unique way in which the cross-fluted sheets are bonded
together, the structural integrity of the fill is greatly enhanced,
making the fill usable as a working platform.
A high temperature fill is available for water temperatures
exceeding 55C.
Consult your EVAPCO representative for further details.
Motor Location
The LRT stainless steel cold water basin can be easily maintained from the sides of the cooling tower through large, circular access doors. The unique stepped configuration of the
LRT heat transfer section allows unimpeded access to the
basin to allow adjustment of the float assembly, removal of
the stainless steel strainers and basin cleaning.

Centrifugal Fan
Assembly
Fans on LSTA & LRT cooling
towers are of the forward
curved centrifugal design
with hot-dip galvanized steel
construction. All fans are statically and dynamically balanced and are mounted in a
hot-dip galvanized steel housing designed and manufactured
by EVAPCO.
Fan Dampers
Accessibility
The basin/fan section of a centrifugal fan unit is designed
for accessibility and ease of maintenance. Fan and drive
components are positioned to allow easy adjustment and
cleaning. All grease fittings are in convenient locations for
periodic lubrication.
Large circular access doors are provided on each section to
allow entry into the basin. All float valve and strainer assemblies are located near the door for easy adjustment and
cleaning. The basin sump is designed to catch the dirt accumulated and can be flushed out simply with a hose. The
basin strainers may be easily removed for periodic cleaning.
When centrifugal fan units are installed indoors and intake air
is ducted to the unit, a solid bottom panel is required to
completely enclose the fan section and prevent the unit from
drawing room air into the fan intakes. When this is ordered,
air inlet screens are omitted and the fan bearings are provided with extended lubrication fittings to facilitate maintenance
from outside the duct.
In addition to two speed fan motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs) or cycling fan motor on multiple motor units,
centrifugal fan cooling towers have two other types of
capacity control options available to them: Pony motors and
capacity control fan dampers.
Pony motors utilize a smaller fan motor in conjunction with
the primary motor for use in times of reduced loading.
This pony motor is typically 1/4
the kW of the primary motor, and
can significantly reduce energy
requirements.
Capacity control fan dampers are
located directly in the fan housings. The actuator is positioned
by a signal from a proportional
temperature controller with a
sensing bulb mounted in the
Fan Dampers
tower sump.

Access Ladders
Access ladders are available to provide access for water distribution system inspection and maintanance.
Discharge Attenuation
The discharge attenuation hood features a straight sided
design with insulated baffles to reduce the overall sound
levels of the discharge air. The discharge attenuation
incorporates a large access panel to allow entry to the drift
eliminators and water distribution system. If a higher discharge velocity is required with minimal sound attenuation,
a tapered discharge hood is available.

Notes:
1) An adequately sized bleed line must be installed in the cooling tower system to prevent build-up of impurities in the
recirculated water.
2) Unit dimensions and connections are subject to change to meet application requirements and shipping restrictions.
See factory certified prints for detailed drawing information.
* For external static pressure up to 125 Pa. use next larger size fan motor.
Dimensions are subject to change. Do not use for pre-fabrication.

Notes:
1) An adequately sized bleed line must be installed in the cooling tower system to prevent build-up of impurities in the
recirculated water.
2) Unit dimensions and connections are subject to change to meet application requirements and shipping restrictions.
See factory certified prints for detailed drawing information.
* For external static pressure up to 125 Pa. use next larger size fan motor.
Dimensions are subject to change. Do not use for pre-fabrication.

Applications
Design
EVAPCO Cooling Towers have heavy-duty construction and are
designed for long, trouble-free operation. However, proper
equipment selection, installation and maintenance are necessary to insure good unit performance. Some of the major considerations in the application of a cooling tower are presented
below. For additional information, contact the factory.
Air Circulation
In reviewing the system design and unit location, it is important
that enough fresh air is provided to enable proper unit performance. The best location is on an unobstructed roof top or on
ground level away from walls and other barriers. Care must be
taken when locating towers in wells or enclosures or next to high
walls. The potential for recirculation of the hot, moist discharge
air back into the fan intake exists. Recirculation raises the wet
bulb temperature of the entering air causing the leaving water
temperature to rise above design. For these cases, a discharge
hood or ductwork should be provided to raise the overall unit
height even with the adjacent wall, thereby reducing the chance of
recirculation. For additional information see the EVAPCO
Equipment Layout. Engineering assistance is also available
from the factory to identify potential recirculation problems and
recommend solutions.
Capacity Control
The design wet bulb for which the cooling tower is sized
occurs only a small percentage of the time. Unless colder
water temperatures are beneficial to the process being cooled,
some form of capacity control will be needed.
A common control practice is to cycle the fans off when leaving water is below the minimum allowable temperature.
However this does not provide close control of the leaving
water temperature.
Another method is to use two-speed fan motors which add a
second step of control. Two speed fan motors are an excellent
method of capacity control. This arrangement gives capacity
steps of 10% (fans off), 60% (fans half-speed) and 100%. A
temperature controller can be supplied to set control at 5
increments, so fairly close temperature control can be maintained without excessive cycling of the fan motor.
Two-speed motors also save operating costs. At half-speed
the motor draws approximately 15% of full load power. Since
maximum wet bulb and maximum load very seldom coincide
on air conditioning systems, the cooling tower will actually
operate at half speed 80% of the time. Thus, power costs will
be reduced by approximately 85% during the major portion of
the operating season.
Caution: The water circulation pump must be interlocked
with the fan motor starter(s) to insure water flow over the
tower fill during fan operation.
Piping
Cooling tower piping should be designed and installed in
accordance with generally accepted engineering practices.
All piping should be anchored by properly designed hangers
and supports with allowance made for possible expansion
and contraction. No external loads should be placed upon
20
cooling tower connections, nor should any of the pipe supports be anchored to the unit framework.
Bleed-off
A bleed line should be installed in the piping, external to the unit.
The bleed line must be properly sized for the application and
provided with a metering connection and globe valve. The recommended bleed off for a cooling tower is equivalent to the
evaporation rate. If the make-up water supplying to the unit is
relatively free of impurities, it may be possible to cut back the
bleed, but the unit must be checked frequently to make sure
scale is not forming. Make-up water pressure must be maintained between 140 and 340 kPa for proper operation of the
float valve.
Water Treatment
In some cases the make-up water will be so high in mineral
content that a normal bleed-off will not prevent scaling. In
these cases water treatment will be required and a reputable
water treatment company familiar with the local water conditions should be consulted.
Any chemical water treatment used must be compatible with
the stainless and galvanized construction of the unit. The pH
of the water should be maintained between 6.5 and 8.0. In
order to prevent white rust, the galvanized steel in the unit
may require routine passivation of the steel when the system is
operating in higher pH levels. Batch chemical feeding is not
recommended because it does not afford the proper degree of
control. If acid cleaning is required extreme caution must be
exercised and only inhibited acids compatible with galvanized
steel construction should be used.
Indoor Installations
REMOTE SUMP
Whenever a cooling tower is idled during subfreezing weather,
the water in the sump must be protected from freezing and
damaging the pan. The simplest and most reliable method of
accomplishing this is with a remote sump tank located in a
heated space in the building under the tower. With this system, the water in the tower drains into the indoor tank whenever the pump is shut-off. When a tower is ordered for
remote sump operation, the standard float valve and strainer
are omitted, and the unit is provided with an oversized bottom
water outlet connection. Where a remote sump is not possible, a supplementary means of heating the pan water must be
provided.
ELECTRIC HEATERS
Electric immersion heaters are available factory installed in the
basin of the tower. They are sized to maintain a +4 or +5C
pan water temperature at 18C ambient air temperature with
the fans off. They are furnished with a combination thermostat
and low water protection device to cycle the heater on when
required and to prevent the heater elements from energizing
unless they are completely submerged. All components are
enclosed in rugged, weatherproof enclosures for outdoor use.
The heater power contactors and electric wiring are not included as standard.

Vibration Isolation
The fans on EVAPCO units are balanced and run virtually
vibration free. In addition, the rotating mass is very small in
relation to the total mass of the cooling tower, further reducing the possibility of objectionable vibration being transmitted
to the building structure.
As a result, vibration isolation is generally not required.
In those cases where it is determined that vibration isolation
is necessary, spring type vibration isolator rails can be furnished. The rails are constructed of heavy gauge Z-725 hotdip galvanized steel for superior corrosion resistance. Rails
are designed to be mounted between the cooling tower and
the supporting steel framework. They are 90% efficient and
have approximately 25 mm static deflection. Rails are
designed for wind loading up to 80 km/hr.
It is important to note that vibration isolation must be installed
continuously along the full length of the cooling tower on both
sides of the unit. Point isolators may be used between the
supporting steel and the building framework, but not between
the unit and the supporting steel.
21
Steel Support
The recommended support for EVAPCO cooling towers is structural I beams located under the outer flanges and running the
entire length of the unit. Mounting holes, 19 mm in diameter are
located in the bottom channels of the pan section to provide for
bolting to the structural steel. (Refer to certified drawings from the
factory for bolt hole locations.)
Beams should be level to within 3 mm per 2 m before setting the
unit in place. Do not level the unit by shimming between it and
the I beams as this will not provide proper longitudinal support.
