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 />
