Re<strong>com</strong>mended Steel Support<br />
The re<strong>com</strong>mended support for <strong>EVAPCO</strong> Closed Circuit<br />
Coolers is structural “I” beams located under the outer<br />
flanges and running the entire length of the unit. The<br />
unit should be elevated to allow access underneath the<br />
unit and to the roof below. Mounting holes 3/4” in<br />
diameter are located in the bottom flanges of the pan<br />
section to provide for bolting to the structural steel.<br />
(Refer to certified drawings from the factory for bolt<br />
hole locations).<br />
Beams should be level before setting the unit in place.<br />
Do not level the unit by shimming between the unit and<br />
the structural steel. Dimensions, weights, and data are<br />
subject to change without notice. Refer to the factory<br />
certified drawings for exact dimensions.<br />
NOTE: Consult IBC 2006 for required steel support layout<br />
and structural design.<br />

Freeze Protection for the Recirculating<br />
Water System<br />
If the units are installed in a cold climate and operated<br />
year round, freeze protection must be provided for the<br />
recirculating water system in the unit as well as for the<br />
heat exchanger coil.<br />
The surest way to protect the recirculating water system<br />
from freezing is with a remote sump. The remote sump<br />
should be located inside the building and below the unit.<br />
When a remote sump arrangement is selected, the spray<br />
pump is provided by others and installed at the remote<br />
sump. All water in the closed circuit cooler basin should<br />
drain to the remote sump when the spray pump cycles off.<br />
Other freeze protection methods are available when a<br />
remote sump is not feasible. Electric pan heaters or steam<br />
or hot water coils can be used to keep the pan water<br />
from freezing when the unit cycles off. Water lines to and<br />
from the unit, spray pump and related piping should be<br />
heat traced and insulated up to the overflow level in<br />
order to protect from freezing.<br />
