FC Series

STRUCTURE

The tower structure is in reinforced concrete.
Seen from above, the structure is composed of a number of square-section pillars, with lateral grooves for securing the concrete walls. The structure is reinforced by a number of horizontal beams, which also serve as a support for the distribution and for the filling system.

FAN SECTION

The FC Series towers have one or more ventilation units, each consisting of an electric motor and a horizontal axial fan with high-performance blades. The connection between the motor and the fan is made by means of coaxial reducers or with belt and pulley transmissions.
The fan stack is protected by a metal safety grid.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The distribution system of the cooling tower is composed of an external channel in concrete or an internal pipe in FRP and by a number of secondary pipes in plastic material. The polypropylene dispersing nozzles are three-stage and anti-clogging type. They are mounted on pipes with threaded fittings. The whole system is designed to distribute evenly the water on the exchange surface.

FILLING SYSTEM

FILM filling
ILMED IMPIANTI has designed and developed new “FILMED” filling packs, with an exclusive and very effective design, which work on the “film” principle. They are manufactured in PVC or PP, with diagonal or vertical channels.


SPLASH filling
Splash Grids can be used for dirty water with high concentration of suspended solids. Grids are characterized by good resistance to clogging which guarantees a constant heat exchange over time. They are manufactured in polypropylene and installed on site by stainless steel cables.

HYBRID filling
The TR.U.S.T. (Tridimensional Ultimate Splash Type) filling system consists of modular elements, manufactured in high-thickness polypropylene, which work on the “SPLASH” principle. Ilmed Impianti has designed this special filling system for polluted water with high levels of suspended solids. The modular feature facilitates the handling and cleaning during maintenance. The TR.U.S.T. System is the natural evolution of the traditional grid system, thus defining new levels of strength, ease of installation, performance and durability.

DRIFT ELIMINATORS

The drift eliminators are made up of modular elements, in PVC or PP sheets.
The efficiency of the separator is excellent, such as to limit water losses due to dragging to a value below 0.005% of the circulating flow.
