G-235 Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Construction
The standard material of construction for evaporative cooling equipment for many years has been hot-dip galvanized steel. The
purpose of galvanizing is to protect the base metal from corrosion, and the thickness of the galvanized layer directly affects the
equipment life.
EVAPCO has been instrumental in the development of corrosion protection technology and was the first manufacturer to use
G-235 (Z600-Europe) galvanized steel construction. The G-235 (Z600-Eurpe) designation equates to a minimum of 2.35 ounces of
zinc per square foot (600 grams per square meter) of surface area.
The EVAPCOAT Corrosion Protection System is the heaviest galvanized coating available for extended corrosion protection
eliminating the need for costly, unreliable epoxy paint finishes.
Designed for easy
maintenance, the LSTB cooling tower leads the industry in service friendly
features. The two most critical areas for cooling tower maintenance are the
basin and the drive system. The cold water basin is easily accessed from outside
the tower via large circular access doors. All drive system components are
located in the dry, entering air stream for long life and can be serviced from
outside the tower.
