Space available around the tower should be as generous as possible to promote ease of maintenance and to permit freedom of airflow into and through the tower. If you have questions about the adequacy of the available space and the intended configuration of tower, please contact your Advance sales engineer for guidance.

Prepare a stable, level support foundation for the tower, utilizing weight, wing load, dimensional information and piping directions appearing on appropriate Advance submittal drawings.

The cooling tower must be located at such distance and direction to avoid the possibility of contaminated tower discharge air being drawn into building fresh air intake ducts. The purchaser should obtain the service of a Licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect to certify that the location of the tower is in compliance with applicable air pollution, fire and clean air codes.

Heat load: With the fan in full operation, if the heat load increases, the cold water temperature will rise. If the heat load reduces, the clod water temperature will reduce. Note that the number of degrees (“range”) through which the tower cools the water is established by the system heat load and the amount of water being circulated, in accordance with the following formula:

The cooling tower establishes only the cold water temperature attainable under any operating circumstance.

Air wet-bulb temperature: Cold water temperature will also vary with the wet-bulb temperature of the air entering the louvered faces of the tower. Reduced wet-bulb temperatures will result in colder water temperatures. However, the cold water temperature will not vary to the same extent as the wet-bulb. For example, a100C reduction in wet-bulb may result in only a 70C reduction in cold water temperature.

•	Circulating water with a pH between 6.5 and 8; a chloride content (as NaCl) below 750 ppm; a sulphate content (SO4) below 1200 ppm; a sodium bicarbonate content (NaHCO3) below 200 ppm; a maximum inlet Calcium (as CaCO3) below 1,200 ppm. - Silica (as SiO2) below 150 ppm water temperature not to exceed 700C; no significant contamination with unusual chemicals or foreign substance; and adequate water treatment to minimize scaling.
•	Many systems can be successfully treated with water treatment chemicals. For complete information, contact your local Advance application engineer.
•	Chlorine (if used) shall be added intermittently, with a free residual not to exceed 1 ppm – maintained for short periods.
•	An atmosphere surrounding the tower no worse than “moderate industrial”, where rainfall and fog are no more than slightly acid, and they do not contain significant chlorides or hydrogen sulphide (H2S).

WARNING :
Water treatment must be supplied and / or applied by a professional in the field in order to avoid fill damage. It is the user's/ owner/s responsibility to treat the water in order to stop biological contaminants and avoid among other bacterium, the legionnella bacteria, which is known to cause legionnaire disease.
