Important: Deltas cooling towers have been designed to provide trouble-free service over an extended period of time. To obtain
the design performance, it is necessary that the cooling tower be installed, operated and maintained as prescribed in
these instructions.

Only persons possessing the skill and experience described herein should attempt to install this equipment. Prior to
installation, these instructions should be read carefully by the person who is to install the cooling tower to be certain
that its installation, operation and maintenance are thoroughly understood.

Questions regarding the installation, operation or maintenance of this equipment should be directed to Delta Cooling
Towers, Inc., Rockaway, New Jersey, (Telephone: 973/586-2201).

Step-by-step instructions contained in this brochure are based on normal installation conditions only. Abnormal or
unusual combinations of field conditions should be brought to the attention of Delta Cooling Towers or its
representative prior to installation of the equipment. The information contained herein is subject to change without
notice in the interest of product improvement.

indoor sump tank should be large enough to

danger of pump cavitation. As a general
rule, the tank should be sized to hold three

The tank should be provided with
properly sized overflow, makeup, drain and

water makeup valve assembly and the
overflow and drain connections are installed
in the indoor sump only. A bottom outlet
can be provided for gravity drain to indoor

When a sump tank is used, the cooling

PIONEER COOLING TOWERS


VIBRATION CUT-OUT SWITCH

The vibration cut-out switch option is utilized when excessive vibration of the rotating machinery is
undesirable. Excessive vibration can be caused by worn or failed bearings, misalignment and/or wheel
unbalance.

This device helps prevent further potential damage by shutting the motor off. It is wired in series with the
motor starter coil and has dry contact rating of 10 ampere capacity at 120 VAC.

Delta provides the vibration cut-out switch installed on the blower when ordered as a component of a new
cooling tower or on a replacement blower assembly.

PIONEER COOLING TOWERS


OUTLET STRAINER BASKET

This option is desirable to prevent debris which may have entered the cooling tower sump from getting into the
pump, or the rest of the cooling water system. This option is recommended to minimize particle size which could
foul chillers, heat exchanger, compressors, or the cooling tower nozzles.

A vortex breaker pipe, which is provided as standard on pump suction applications, is included to maximize the
inlet area and prevent cavitations. The strainer is made from a vortex breaker pipe surrounded by 3/16" #2 PVC
coated mesh screen.

Finer mesh screens can be overlaid to minimize particle size. Consult Delta for add prices and availability.
