SPX Cooling Technologies Marley 800 User manual

/Marley Class 800 Natural Draft CoolingTower /

SPX Cooling Technologies‘ commitment
to service the electric power industry with
quality products and innovations began as
early as 1883. By making good products
and making good on our commitments,
SPX has become the leading force in the
world of cooling towers.
Over 150 SPX Cooling representative
offices, subsidiaries, licensees, agents,
joint venture associates and distributors are
strategically located around the world. They
respond quickly to customers anywhere.
And, as one of the “world class market
leaders” in the SPX Corporation, we have
the strong financial backing major projects
demand.
/ Making good on our commitments for over 120 years /
With a combined
total of over 275
natural draft concrete
hyperbolic cooling
towers installed
and operating
worldwide, the SPX
Cooling Technologies
team offers you an
outstanding source of
design, engineering,
manufacturing and
construction expertise.

Each Marley Class 800 natural draft cooling tower is created by a team
involving over 200 specialists, including mathematicians, chemical, civil
and mechanical engineers, with expertise in soil mechanics, concrete
design, hydraulics, heat transfer, materials and machine design. All
dedicated to developing the best solution for your unique application.
Everything about your Marley cooling tower is designed as an integrated
system. All the components work in harmony because they are all
designed, manufactured, tested for quality
and compatibility and warranted by SPX. The
alternative relies on components from many
different manufacturers which have little chance
of working together efficiently and reliably.
Our Research and Development Center is
dedicated to enhancing technology to make
sure you get the results you want. Engineers
and technicians are constantly testing new
concrete concepts and reinforcing details,
modelling the effects of wind and tower
locations, optimizing thermal performance
and more.
We guarantee the cold water you specify
is the cold water you get. It’s this simple:
we guarantee your tower will meet your
specified thermal conditions when
tested to CTI ATC-105 by a CTI-
licensed agency. Your tower and its
performance are backed by
SPX Cooling Technologies,
your single-source supplier.
/ Exceptional performance. Proven design. /

Clog-resistant Marley NS Nozzle
Large orifice, low-pressure design assures
continuous maintenance-free operation in
water conditions that typically clog other nozzles. Marley
NS nozzles also permit significant variations in flow rate
for load-trimming.
Marley XCEL®plus Drift Eliminator
The first cellular drift eliminator was pioneered by
Marley over 25 years ago when eliminator designs
were primarily blade-type configurations. When Marley
patented the XCEL generation of eliminators in the
early 80s, no other eliminator could come close to
XCEL’s low drift rate and low pressure drop.
XCEL’s unique interlocking self-sealing pack
design creates a seamless installed field,
eliminating the need for external sealing
devices.
XCELplus’‚ more advanced design,
meets or exceeds today’s demanding
specifications for drift emissions, at
half the original XCEL drift rate with
equivalent pressure drop.
/ Performance as promised. Why settle for less? /

Tough Marley high-performance PVC film fill
Marley fill removes process heat efficiently, predictably. The PVC
fill sheets are formed in Marley plants to exacting quality and
strength standards.
MC hanging fill reduces air blockages that occur with bottom-
supported fill and has no interfacing layers that encourage fouling.
Plus MC hanging fill is FM and NML approved, so there is no
need for firewalls or sprinkler systems.
Our engineers evaluate each cooling tower application
individually, using computer optimization analysis to select the
best fill system which maximizes thermal performance and, they
have done extensive development on several high performance
and clog-resistant fill designs to meet a
wide range of thermal and water quality
requirements.

Concrete is the choice when you want a natural, locally available
construction material, ideally suited for long service life in the
harshest cooling tower environment.
A few of the advantages of concrete include:
• Structurally Stable
The coefficient of thermal expansion is less
than steel, and concrete defies the detrimental
effects of heat and ultraviolet light. It naturally
maintains its structural integrity whether wet
or dry.
• Durable
Impervious to a broad range of corrosive
substances—immune to rot and decay.
• Fire Resistant
Marley natural draft concrete cooling towers
with our standard hanging PVC film fill system
are Factory Mutual and Nuclear Mutual Limited
approved. Sprinkler systems are not required,
saving you on first cost and maintenance
expense, too.
• Environmentally Stable
Concrete is a natural material which
will not impact the quality of cooling
water circulating through the tower
or discharge contaminant into the air.
• Easily Available
Our construction superintendents
have the knowledge and experience
to work with local bridge and
building crafts people, and most
cities in the world have concrete mix
and precast plants.
/ Concrete is the natural choice /

New construction isn’t our only strength. We
can work with you to enhance, restore and
improve the performance of all your cooling
towers.
We’re familiar with all types
of concrete cooling towers
from all manufacturers.
The scope of one recent
major project involved
converting two crossflow
towers to a counterflow
design to increase
performance and eliminate
troublesome icing.
