INTRODUCTION
We would like to first say thank you for your business and purchase of an Amcot ST Series, open loop,
counter flow, water cooling tower. Amcot strives to provide all of our clients with the highest level of
customer service and quality products. Amcot’s ST series cooling towers when operated and maintained
properly will provide your facility with years of reliable service.
This operations and maintenance manual is designed to provide a wide range of recommendations and
instructions on how to properly operate and maintain your cooling tower. It is important to remember
that ALL cooling towers, regardless of manufacturer, face very harsh environments and it is imperative
that proper maintenance is performed regularly in order to ensure a long service life.
Don’t forget about your cooling tower!
Most cooling towers are located in a remote area of your facility, either on a roof, or outside and away
from most other equipment. It is easy for maintenance staff and personnel to forget about them or not
perform regular maintenance as a result. Unfortunately if this occurs, what could have been a relatively
quick and inexpensive repair, could become a major ordeal for your facility. It is important to remember
that your cooling tower is just one component in an overall system, but is a very critical as it helps
maintain optimal operating temperatures for all of the other equipment.
This manual will cover basic operation of your tower, general recommendations for water quality,
shutdown/startup checklists, and more!
If at any time you have questions, please contact your distributor, installing contractor or Amcot
representative for immediate assistance. It is always helpful to have your model number and serial
number which can be located on the unit’s equipment tag. A duplicate tag for your tower was included
in your shipment. This extra label can be placed below for quick reference.
YOUR TOWER WILL SHIP WITH ONE (1) EXTRA EQUIPMENT TAG.
