3. INSTALLATION
3.1
Tower foundation and anchoring
Our units have no needs of any special foundation. They can be placed directly onto a concrete slab or onto concrete coated ground,
making sure in all cases that the anchoring is capable of resisting the operating load distributed by the tower bed-frame. They can be
anchored on two steel beams, all along the basin. This anchoring can be observed in fig. 3 and will need some bolts and nuts to be
fitted.
In any case, the surface has to be perfectly level before installing the tower. The tower must not be levelled using wedges or any other
element between the beams and the basin, because it will not give adequate longitudinal support.

Location conditions
The tower must never be located in an area that is enclosed on all four sides.
Sufficient clearance must be provided all around the tower, so that the cold air may circulate at a speed lower than that of the hot air
outlet stream. Therefore, this passage section must be equal in size or bigger than the base plan section of the tower.
Any obstacle above the tower at a height lower than that of the tallest side of the tower shall be avoided.
Sufficient space must be provided around the tower to allow access to all parts requiring maintenance. See fig 4.
