Construction Options

• Standard Construction – Steel panels and structural elements are constructed of heavy-gauge G-235 hot-dip galvanized steel.
• Optional Materials of Construction – A thermosetting hybrid polymer coating used to extend equipment life, is applied to select hot-dip galvanized steel components of the cooling tower. The thermosetting hybrid polymer has been tested to withstand 6000 hours in a 5% salt spray without blistering, chipping, or loss of adhesion.
• Optional Stainless Steel Construction – A variety of Stainless Steel options are available to meet your needs.

Fan Drive System

The fan drive system provides the cooling air necessary to reject unwanted heat from the system to the atmosphere. Dynamically balanced, forwardly curved, centrifugal fans driven by matched V-belts with taper lock sheaves designed for not less than 150% of the motor nameplate horsepower are standard on the Series V. Premium efficient cooling tower duty fan motors provide maximum performance for cooling tower service, and are backed by BAC’s comprehensive five-year motor and fan drive warranty.

Unit with Intake and Discharge Attenuation

BALTIGUARD™ Fan System

BALTIGUARD™ Fan System

The BALTIGUARD™ Fan System consists of two standard single-speed fan motors and drive assemblies. One drive assembly is sized for full speed and load, and the other is sized for approximately 2/3 speed and consumes only 1/3 the design horsepower. This configuration allows the reserve capacity of a standby motor in the event of failure. As a minimum, approximately 70% capacity will be available from the low horsepower motor, even on a design wet-bulb day. Controls and wiring are the same as those required for a two-speed, two-winding motor. On some units the standby fan motor can be increased to the size of the main motor for 100% redundancy.

BALTIGUARD PLUS^TM Fan System

BALTIGUARD PLUS™ Fan System

The BALTIGUARD PLUS™ Fan System builds on the advantages of the BALTIGUARD™ Fan System by adding a VFD to either the pony or the main motor, depending on system requirements. This offers the benefits of additional capacity control and energy savings, along with the redundancy offered by the BALTIGUARD™ Fan System. Alternatively, a VFD can be added to BOTH the pony and main motor, for complete capacity control and redundancy under any load.

Low Sound Alternatives

The low sound levels generated by Series V Cooling Towers make them suitable for most installations. For situations when one direction is particularly sound-sensitive, the unit can be oriented so that the side opposite the air inlet faces the sound-sensitive direction. The Series V is also available with factory designed, tested, and rated sound attenuation for both the air intake and discharge.
