American Chillers and Cooling Tower Systems, Inc.

can provide your industrial process with a durable, long

lasting, light weight Fiberglass (FRP) Cooling Tower System from 5 tons to 1500 tons capacity.
The FRP design is engineered to withstand winds in excess of 200 mph. The 360 degree bottom air inlet and
upper mounted rotating water distribution bar provide a most efficient counter-flow water-to-air design for the
most efficient cooling in high ambient conditions. All FRP casings are warranted for 10 years against decay and
rot providing you with assurance of the best quality available in a fiberglass tower.
American Chillers can also provide you with tanks, pumps and control panels, to provide the most efficient
system for your application.

From fan motors to fan blades, we have the parts to fix your cooling tower and keep you cool.

Design Features:
Lightweight and compact, the modular design of the FRP cooling tower provides easier installation and simplified
job assembly. Wind direction will not affect the performance due to the unique 360 degree design of the
aerodynamic fiberglass casing.
Fiberglass casing:
Individual fiberglass panels bolt together with stainless steel hardware and are easily opened for periodic
cleaning. the FRP fiberglass panels will last for a very long time as they are impervious to severe environmental
weather conditions.
Fan Blades:
The aerodynamic blade design helps conserve power and require much lower horsepower than comparable sized
towers. They are also factory balanced to provide very quite, vibration free, operation. Models 3 through 50
feature ABS plastic blades; Models 60 and above feature aluminum alloy, adjustable blades.
Fan Motors:
American Chiller models ACTS-3 thorugh ACTS-20- utilize direct drive motors; Models ACTS-225 and larger use a
belt drive pulley/belt drive.
Air Flow:
The air is pulled into the tower through the plastic, anti-splash inlet louvers that encompass the 360 degree base
opening. As the water falls down through the fill pack, the air moves vertically in counter-flow to it and exits out
the vortex opening in the top, above the fan.
Water Distribution:
A rotating head and sprinkler pipe assembly sits atop the center supply pipe, propelled around to distribute the
rwater across the top of the PVC fill pack. Models 3 though 60 use an ABS sprinkler head; 70 thorugh 1000 use
an aluminum alloy sprinkler head. The sprinkler is propelled at tan average rate of 8 to 12 RPM by the inlet water
pressure of between 2.1 psi - 8.1 psi.
PVC Fill Pack:
The honeycomb PVC fill pack has a very high heat transfer efficiency, making this "bottle" design the most
efficient cooling tower available. The PVC fill pack can be used for inlet water temperature up to 115
o
F; above
that, polypropylene should be ordered.
