Aquatower Fiberglass Cooling Tower / Features and Benefits3All primary components of the Aquatower are open toview. You can easily clean the distribution basin and nozzleswhile the tower is in operation.You’ll enjoy single source responsibility and reliabilitybecause we design and manufacture virtually all majorcooling tower components.All Marley components are designed and selected tobe a part of an integrated system. For example, the spraypattern from nozzles and the pressure drop through drifteliminators both affect a fill’s heat transfer capacity. So, weinclude that impact in our thermal analysis. Drift eliminatorsmust be effective at the air velocities where fill is mostefficient. So, we’ve carefully designed both components towork together efficiently.How many other cooling tower companies can offeryou this assurance? They may use one brand of nozzlewith another brand of fill and another manufacturer’s drifteliminators. When they all come together, the whole may beless than the sum of the parts.Fiberglass construction brings the classic MarleyAquatower into the 21st century. This Aquatower combinesthe proven cooling tower technology of the Aquatower withthe proven corrosion resistance of fiberglass.The fiberglass structure eliminates concerns aboutcorrosion. Enjoy the benefits of fiberglass along with allthe reliability you’ve come to expect from the long line ofAquatower models.Today’s Aquatower is considered to be the most space/energy-efficient cooling tower available. Your needs havedictated constant technological improvement. Thousandsof Aquatower users enjoy the benefits of eight majorredesigns and dozens of minor improvements in the past70 years.The fiberglass Aquatower is a maintenance delight!No hard-to-maintain rotating spray systems or tiny nozzleshere! No coatings for you to maintain. Fan shaft bearinghousings use durable tapered roller bearings on all models.You can easily replace and align V-belts from outside thetower.Our total system approach assures that all the partswork together to provide the most optimum performance.And because we design specifically for cooling towers, allour components will provide many years of service withminimal maintenance.Fiberglass Aquatowers are readily available. You won’thave to wait around—or accept second best—when youneed a cooling tower. We maintain an impressive stock ofcompleted towers at our own plants. A growing number oflocal distributors can draw from that stock.Contact your local distributor or Marley salesrepresentative. They’ll be glad to help you choose theproper model for your needs. They can also help you withyour layout and piping.CAUTIONThe cooling tower must be located at such distanceand direction to avoid the possibility of contaminateddischarge air being drawn into building fresh air intakeducts. The purchaser should obtain the services of aLicensed professional Engineer or Registered Architectto certify that the location of the cooling tower is incompliance with applicable air pollution, fire and cleanair codes.

Aquatower Fiberglass Cooling Tower / Construction and Components Water Distribution SystemWarm water flows through external piping (not includedwith the tower) into a splash box in the distribution basinat the top of the Aquatower. This splash box helps provideuniform water distribution and keeps the incoming waterfrom spilling out of the basin. Water then flows by gravityfrom the fiberglass basins through nozzles to the fill.Fiberglass basin covers are provided as standard equipmentto keep the basin free from airborne debris and to reducethe likelihood of biological growth. The distribution basin isa single piece, eliminating the risk of basin leaks betweenadjoining panels.6 Fill - Louvers - Drift EliminatorsMarley MX Fill features integral louvers and drifteliminators, designed to minimize resistance to airflow. Thispatented arrangement prevents water from escaping thefill, assuring proper heat transfer throughout wide variationsin airflow. Users find MX fill operates ice-free even inextremely cold weather.The thermoformed 15 mil (.015″) thick PVC fill sheetswithstand hot water temperatures as high as 125 F. Fillsheets are immune to biological and corrosive decay andtheir flame spread rating is less than 25 per ASTM E-84.Galvanized structural tubes support and stabilize the fill.They also hold the bottom of the fill sheets above the coldwater basin floor to simplify basin cleaning. Removable1″ x 1″ mesh galvanized air inlet screens keep largerairborne trash out of the collection basin and fill area.Distribution basin with cover being removedAll Aquatowers use Marley “Spiral Target” nozzles.These inert polypropylene nozzles are evenly spacedthroughout the distribution basin to assure uniform waterdistribution over all portions of the fill. Their large openingsresist clogging. Nozzles are easy to remove and replace ifyou ever want to change the design water flow rate.Marley Spiral Target distribution nozzleMarley MX Fill Cold Water Collection BasinThe Aquatower’s single-piece fiberglass collection basinreduces operating weight, simplifies basin cleaning andassures proper outflow. Water flows from the elevated areaunder the fill into the basin's rear depressed section, whereside suction piping connects, or for gravity flow applications,bottom-outlet piping connects,Standard equipment on each tower basin includes ascreened side-suction connection, a threaded standpipeoverflow and drain connection and a float-operated makeup valve. Mud sill and debris screen are included forgravity-flow bottom outlet connection. See page 8 for moreinformation on outlet piping. A stainless steel cover plate isprovided to seal the side-suction opening if not used.
