A.3.3 QUADRUPLE FAN TOWERS (RTU)
Follow this procedure to assemble and install Quadruple Fan Cooling Towers.
A. Upon the arrival of the equipment to its final destination, check for any apparent damage to the packaging
before unloading the Cooling Tower. The packing list must match with the received merchandise. Any
equipment absences or abnormality must be reported to your local REYMSA representative.
B. After verifying the equipment is received in proper condition, proceed to unload it piece by piece, with
a crane or forklift of the appropriate capacity (see Figure A-42 for reference).
C. For unloading a tower from a container, refer to “APPENDIX A: EXAMPLE OF UNLOADING A COOLING
TOWER FROM A CONTAINER”.
D. For crane lifting, it’s recommended to use a minimum lifting angle of 60º between the strap and the
horizontal. The Body section has U-bolts for lifting, one on each corner. Place the straps through the
u-bolts (as shown in Figure A-42) and use a spreader bar to avoid damage on the upper edge of the
Tower. Don’t balance until tensing the straps.
E. Remove the plastic wrap that surrounds the Tower and its components, and loosen the nuts and bolts that
keep the Tower (unitized body & basin) attached to the wooden pallet (those located at the bottom of
basin.
F. Before Tower’s assembly, REYMSA recommends to install a steel base structure that supports the Tower’s
operational weight; also place an isolation pad (supplied by others) between the Tower and the base
structure for support purposes. Verify that the base structure has the proper dimensions (for construction,
refer to factory certified drawings). For more information, see section “A.11.1 LEVELING AND TOWER
SUPPORTS”.
G. Place the Section #1 (unitized body & basin) of the Tower on top of the isolation pad and the base
structure; Secure it with the stainless steel nut and bolt sets (supplied by others) as shown on Figure A-43.
