▪ Place the Cooling Tower where it will have at least the recommended clearance on all sides for servicing
and for adequate air intake. It is advisable and preferred to have the top of the Tower above the
roofline of any adjacent building or other nearby obstructions. This will limit the possibilities of the
air recirculation back into the towers air intake (See Figure A-2). Use prevailing summer winds as a
guideline for placing a Tower in a location that minimizes interference.
▪ Do not place the Cooling Tower near exhaust fans or air intakes.
▪ Do not place the Cooling Tower near air make-up units where there is a possibility of the moist Tower
discharge air mixing with the air being drawn in by it.
A.1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY
▪ Cooling Towers must be installed in accordance to all applicable construction, electrical and safety
standards, as well as State and Local regulations and codes.
▪ Before proceeding with the installation, make sure the area is provided with a grounded power source
supplying the correct voltage (required by the motor and pump). Field wiring should be completed
by qualified personnel. All electrical wiring should comply with the electrical codes. Also see section
“A.11.3.1 PROCEDURE TO WIRE THE FAN MOTOR”.
▪ Place the Cooling Towers on a leveled structural surface, capable of supporting the operational weight
of the Tower. Refer to section “A.11.1 LEVELING AND TOWER SUPPORTS” of this manual for information
about leveling and recommended support. Contact your REYMSA representative with any questions
regarding the recommended support for the Cooling Tower.
▪ REYMSA Cooling Towers are industrial pieces of equipment with rotating parts. Care should be taken in
placing them in a secure area where unauthorized access is minimized.
▪ Locate the Tower where there is a safe access for its maintenance.
▪ The Cooling Tower must be installed in a location where the Tower’s discharge air cannot be drawn into
any surrounding building fresh-air ducts.
▪ There is a certain amount of water that can be carried over in the discharge air of all Cooling Towers
(drift). Consideration should be given to placing Cooling Towers away from high traffic areas such as
entrances and parking lots.
