3 / flexibility of design / class 600 cooling towers are a direct descendent of the doubleflow ® crossflow tower that was designed and patented by marley in 1938. In 1957, marley’s development of hanging fill, wide indented louvers, and stable frp velocity-recovery fan cylinders enabled the evolutio...

4 fans marley designed and manufactured fans are used on all marley crossflow towers. The fan selection and fan speed for a given tower are based on tower cell size, system losses, and horsepower requirements. Depending on fan size, blade material is frp (fiber reinforced polyester), gre (glass rein...

5 geareducer the marley geareducer ® has become the standard by which all other cooling tower fan speed reducers are judged. Numerous reduction ratios are available so that horsepower is applied at optimum fan speed. The specific geareducer selection is based on fan speed and horsepower requirements...

6 class 600 splash fill bars are available in the following materials: • pvc in “omega”, “mega” or “alpha” configurations. • injection-molded polypropylene “ladder” configurations. • rough sawn, preservative-treated wood “g” configurations. Each cooling tower application is individually reviewed to ...

7 piping although side inlet piping is provided as standard, class 600 towers are adaptable to end inlet piping. This is an economical method requiring only one riser for each series of hot water basins, regardless of the number of fan cells. Cast iron, steel, and reinforced plastic pipe are all ava...

8 / drift eliminators / marley towers utilize marley xcel ® plus drift eliminators, a cellular, labyrinthine design which improves drift elimination by several orders of magnitude over that achievable by blade-type eliminators. Significantly lower pressure losses also reduce fan horsepower requireme...

9 the diagonals brace the structure and carry loads to heavy-duty, hot dip glavanized anchor castings. The anchor castings transmit wind and/or earthquake loads from the structure directly into the foundation. For standard wind load conditions, anchor bolts are required only at the perimeter. Struct...

10 / casing / the endwalls of class 600 towers are cased from the fan deck level to below the top of the basin curb with 8 oz/sq ft corrugated frp sheets. Frp is waterproof and corrosion proof, is immune to biological deterioration, and requires no maintenance. Sheets are installed on maximum 4 ′-0″...
