Jan 2017: Recent Jobs of Interest: Supply and build new cooling tower, Shepparton Vic

Food Processing Plant, Shepparton – January 2017
Asset:  Cooling Tower, induced draft, counterflow, vertical discharge

The new tower, a 5m x 6m (16ft x 20ft) unit, was shipped in CKD for assembly by Coolclean on site.

The tower was assembled in stages and craned together on the ground. A crane also lifted the tower onto the platform. The cooling tower came complete with handrails, ladders and access to the fan drive.

The cooling tower is manufactured in Australia, by an Australian company. It is a high quality product, using high performance casing/basins and quality fan/motor drives. Spare parts are readily available as they are Australian manufactured and stocked for quick dispatch.

Benefits:

• Australian made and owned
• Manufactured to conform with AS/NZS 3666
• Easy one-man access to the drift eliminators and water distribution. The counterflow cooling tower is designed so that the access hatch to the drift eliminators and water distribution can easily be taken off by one person – the access hatch weighs only 15 kg. This is a safety and ongoing maintenance advantage. (Towers that are fitted with entire side panels that are the actual access hatch, take two men to get them off and back on. Lifting devices are available, but this is another level of difficulty.)
• Fill pack and drift eliminators can be removed, cleaned and replaced in one day
• Locally supplied components, spare parts are readily available through Coolclean – motors, fan, fill pack and drift eliminators
• The cooling tower is 90% non-corrosive, fibreglass and PVC. Only the fan drives are metallic

We supply and install a wide range of cooling towers, condensers and fluid coolers for the industrial and HVAC markets.
