General Description
CXV Evaporative Condensers deliver fully rated thermal performance over a wide range of heat
rejection and temperature requirements for various refrigerants. Standard design features directly
address today’s environmental concerns by minimizing refrigerant charge and energy
consumption. The Series 1500 minimizes installation costs, provides year-round operating
reliability, and simplifies maintenance requirements.

Evaporative Condensers
Benefits
Low Energy Consumption
z Evaporative Cooling Equipment minimizes the energy consumption of the entire system
because it provides lower operating temperatures. The owner saves money while conserving
natural resources and reducing environmental impact.
z Evaporative Condensers provide lower condensing temperatures and can offer significant
CXV
z CXV provides heat rejection at the lowest possible energy input and maintenance requirements
via:
- Patented combined flow technology, which reduces evaporation directly off the coil,
minimizing the potential for scaling and fouling
- Parallel flow of air and spray water, which eliminates scale-promoting dry spots
- Multiple Fan Motor System: independent fan motor and drive assembly per fan, which allows
for extra steps of capacity control.
Easy Maintenance
z Access - Hinged access doors provide easy
access to the unit interior. In addition, all CXV
models are provided with an internal walkway
as standard. An internal walkway is available
as an option on CXV-D models.

z Modular Design – The modular design minimizes the size and weight of the heaviest lift,
allowing for the use of smaller, less costly cranes.
z Coil Connections - Fewer coil connections reduce costs of pipe, valves, purges, and labour.
Application Flexibility
Evaporative Condensers
z Replacement applications – Single air inlet models are designed to mount directly on existing
support steel of both crossflow and counterflow units.
z Highest capacity in the industry – CXV-D models offer the highest single cell capacity of any
evaporative condenser in the industry. Projects benefit from fewer required cells, lower overall
fan kW, and fewer piping connections.
z Combined Inlet Shields prevent biological growth from sunlight, act as a filter for air borne
impurities and debris and eliminate water splash out.
z Adapted fan motor for operation in saturated conditions. 7. Combined Inlet Shields
z Corrosion Resistant
3. Low kW Axial Fan
z Quiet operation z Easily removable
z Overlapping spray patterns ensure proper water coverage z Adjustable water make-up assembly from air inlet side

3. Fan Drive System z Plastic material
The BALTIBOND® Corrosion Protection System, a hybrid polymer coating used to extend
equipment life, is applied before assembly to all hot-dip galvanized steel components of the
unit.
z Optional Stainless Steel Construction:
Steel panels and structural elements are constructed of stainless steel either type 304 or 316.
z Optional Water-Contact Stainless Steel Cold Water Basin:
A cost-effective alternative to an all stainless steel unit. The critical components in the cold
water basin and the cold water basin itself are provided in stainless steel. The remaining
components are protected with the BALTIBOND® Corrosion Protection System.
Note: See section Technical Resources, Material of Construction for more details on the materials described above.
Coil Configurations
Each coil is manufactured according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)
97/23/EC (For more details, refer to the Evaporative Condenser "Overview" section)
BAC condenser coils are standard available at a design pressure of 23 bar, and are pneumatically
tested at 34 bar.
z Standard Serpentine Coil:
The standard condensing coil is constructed of continuous lengths of all prime surface steel,
hot-dip galvanized after fabrication (HDGAF)
z Optional Stainless Steel Coil:
Coils are available in Type 304L and 316L stainless steel for specialized applications.
z Optional High Pressure Coil:
Coils are available with a design pressure of 28 bar, with a test pressure of 40 bars. The Coil is
hot-dip galvanised after fabrication (HDGAF).
z Multiple Refrigerant Circuit Coils (Split Coils):
In general, multiple circuit coils are required primarily on halocarbon refrigerant systems where
it is common practice to maintain individual compressor systems. Also, a circuit can be isolated
to provide cooling of a water or glycol loop for compressor jacket cooling. A wide range of
multiple circuit arrangements is available.
All coils are designed for low pressure drop with sloping tubes for free drainage of fluid.

Accessories
External Service Platform with Ladder,
Safety Cage and Handrails
In the event the owner requires easy access to
the top of the unit, the unit can be furnished with
a platform and ladders extending from the base of
the unit to the platform, as well as safety cages,
Evaporative Condensers
and handrail packages.
Note: Top air inlet screens are recommended with this option.
Internal Ladder(s)
For access to the motor and drive assemblies
internal ladders are available on all models.
External Service Platform, Ladder and Safety
Internal Service Platforms Cage
For access to the motor and drive assemblies on models CXV-207 through -481, and all CXV-D
models, an upper service platform with ladder and handrails is available.
Basin Heaters
Units exposed to below freezing ambient temperatures require protection to prevent freezing of the
water in the cold water basin when the unit is idle. Factory-installed heaters, which maintain the
water temperature at 4°C, are a simple and inexpensive way of providing such protection. The
heater package includes the heaters, a thermostat and a low level cut out switch to protect the
heaters if the water level is too low. Standard electric heaters are selected for -18°C ambient
temperature.
Stand-by Pump
A factory mounted stand-by pump is available,
including non-return valves in each pump piping
line. In case of a pump failure, there can be
switched over to the stand-by pump, eliminating
the unit shut down period as much as possible.
