Low Profile Forced Draft Towers, Coolers and Condensers
Rigging Discharge Hoods and Discharge Attenuators
Discharge Hoods may be either straight or tapered. Discharge Attenuators will be straight-sided. Both must be rigged with a
separate lift after the main unit has been secured to the structural supports. The rigging for both types of accessories is shown in
Figures 6a and 6b. The lifting cables must be long enough to allow the crane hook to be a minimum dimension “H” above the top
of the assembly. These “H” values are given in Table 3.
