Figure A-59: Pipe connections for a quadruple fan tower
Principle of operation
▪ Counter-ow - Air movement is vertically upward through the ll, counter to the downward fall of water.
▪ Induced draft - The fan is located on top of the tower, over the ll section so that the air is pulled through
it.
Conguration and tower parts
▪ Suction line (basin section) - The hot water in the basin is suctioned by the spray pump to supply water
to distribution system.
▪ Make-up (basin section) - Make-up water needs to compensate the water losses due to evaporation,
drift and purge. To control make-up water ow, a mechanical oat valve is included by REYMSA as
a standard feature. A NPT connection is provided and marked as Make-up Water. Electric automatic
ll valve with control is available as an optional (refer to section “A.2.8.4. ELECTRIC WATER LEVEL
CONTROL SYSTEM”).
▪ Overow (basin section) - Overow occurs when the water level within a tower basin rises above this
level, the water ows down overow pipe into a sewer. The overow connections are NPT threaded.
▪ Purge (basin section) - Purging is done to remove circulating water high in dissolved solids concentration.
The purge connection is NPT threaded and must have a valve (supplied by others).
▪ Drain (basin section) - The drain is used to remove all the basin water for tower maintenance and
cleaning. The drain connection is NPT and must have a valve (supplied by others).
▪ Process uid (basin/coil section) - The process uid inlet receives to the hot water that needs to be
cooled by the system. The process uid outlet returns the cooled process water. The process uid water
runs inside the coil without having contact with the environment.
▪ Lateral access door (basin section) - Lateral door with access to the cooper coil for maintenance and
revision purposes.
▪ Body/basin section access door - Access for maintenance and revision purposes.
