The UBT Cooling Tower product line is an Advanced Technology design with dramatic advancements in structural technology to withstand the greatest forces of nature. Constructed with structural enhancements like heavier gauge steel, increased size and number of fasteners, reinforced mounting flanges and internal cross-bracing, the UBT line can withstand seismic accelerations up to 1.0g horizontal and wind loads of 125 psf. Stone and Webster, using computer modeling and actual proof tests independently certified the seismic and wind load rating of each model. In addition, the counterflow design provides the UBT Cooling Tower with inherently better operational and maintenance features. All of these features are described below.

Optimum Design for Freezing Climates

The counterflow fill design used in the UBT Cooling Tower is well suited for winter operation. The wet deck surface is totally encased, and protected from freezing winds thus inhibiting ice formation on the fill section.

The even temperature gradient of the counterflow fill design makes the UBT Cooling Tower the ideal unit for operation in freezing climates.

The counterflow design of the UBT Cooling Tower fill section reduces the chance of ice formation and with bottom support, eliminates fill collapse should ice form.
