Cooling Tower
The Sullair and Dunham Bush Compressors are water cooled
by a 125 Ton Delta Cooling Tower. The water is
circulated by a 300 gallon per minute centrifugal pump
through a PVC piping system. The tower shell is made of
seamless polyethylene (LDPE). The wet decking and drift
eliminator are constructed from a spiral, one piece ABS.
The blower fan motor is a 15 HP, 460 volt, 60 Hz., 3
phase, ODP type.
In Photo 7, the black Delta Cooling Tower can be seen
located in front of the helium gas storage tanks. The
squirrel cage type fan can be seen on the left side of
the tower body. The venting air flows upward through the
tower. The water make up valve for the tower is located
in the gray box to the right of the tower body. The make
up water valve provided by the manufacturer of the tower
was located inside the tower. Problems associated with
this location resulted in the relocation and redesign of
the make up water system.
