The T.E.A.O. fan motor is located inside the fan casing on the large UBT Cooling Tower, and is mounted
on a rugged heavy duty motor base. The motor base is designed to swing completely to the outside of the unit through a
very large hinged (14 square feet) (1,3 square meters) access door greatly simplifying motor maintenance.
The unique swinging motor mount designed for these models features easy belt adjustment from the exterior of the
unit. The T.E.A.O. fan motor is mounted on an adjustable base which is supported by two heavy duty galvanized steel
pipes. The belt is adjusted by tightening an all-thread which runs through the motor base.
The innovative motor base features a unique locking mechanism for a positive belt adjustment and is also used to
adjust the belt tension if a wrench is not available.
Bearing lubrication fittings are extended to the side of the unit inside the access door to allow easy application
of the bearing lubricant. This external location allows for easy servicing of the bearings and is another important
advantage of EVAPCO equipment.
To facilitate motor removal, an optional motor davit is available.
Designed for easy maintenance, the UBT 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 AT basin section is designed to
allow quick and easy access from outside the cooling tower. Just like the basin, all service to the drive system can be safely
performed from the side of the cooling tower. This eliminates the need to stand in the cold water basin or add costly fan deck
handrails and safety cages for routine service to the bearings, belts, or electrical equipment. Evapco's Power-Band drive system
is the easiest belt drive system to maintain in the industry!
