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

horsepower savings over conventional air-cooled and water-cooled condensing systems.

z CXV provides heat rejection at the lowest possible energy input and maintenance requirements
via:

- High efficiency, low kW axial fans

- 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 Spacious Interior – Provides easy access to

the cold water basin, drift eliminators, fan drive
system and condensing coil.

z Access to Spray Distribution – Parallel flow

of air and spray water over the coil allows for
inspection and access to the top of the coil Easy Access to Coil Section
during full operation.

Low Installed Cost

z Support – All models mount directly on parallel I-beams and ship complete with motors and
drives factory-installed and aligned.

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 Coil configurations – Alternate coil configurations and materials available.

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.

Reliable Year-Round Operation

z Belt Drive System utilizes special corrosion-resistant materials of construction and state-of-
the-art technology to ensure ease of maintenance and reliable year-round performance.

z Combined Inlet Shields prevent biological growth from sunlight, act as a filter for air borne
impurities and debris and eliminate water splash out.

Easy Removable Fill (for D-models only)

The fill removal system allows nesting the fill in place for cleaning and replacement. The fill section
can easily be reached after removal of the Combined Inlet Shields / drift eliminators. Telescopic fill
support allow for complete fill removal.

Long Service Life

z Materials of Construction – Various materials are available to meet the corrosion resistance,
unit operating life, and budgetary requirements of any project.
Note: For more information, please refer to the section “Technical Resources, Materials of Construction”.

Reduced Refrigerant Charge

Combined Inlet Shield Technology

Combined Inlet shields prevent biological growth
from sunlight, act as a filter for air borne impurities
and debris and eliminate water splash out.

Remote Sump Execution

The use of an auxiliary sump within a heated
space is the most satisfactory way to protect
sump water from freezing. When the circulating
CXV

pump is shut off, all the water in the water

distribution, in suspension and in the sump will
drain freely to the auxiliary sump.
Note: For detailed information on the calculation of the remote sump Combined Inlet Shields
tank, please refer to the section "Technical Resources, Selection of
Remote Sump Tank".

Removable Bundled Fill (only CXV-

models)
For installations where it is necessary or
recommended to remove the wet deck surface for
more thorough cleaning and disinfection,
removable bundled fill is available. The fill
bundles can be easily lifted and handled by one
person and therefore provide a simple and secure
method of removing and installing. The bundles
can be dismantled and sheet by sheet can be
removed for inspection and cleaning of both
sides. After cleaning the sheets can be re-
bundled and re-installed.
