Pressurized Water Distribution System
The water distribution system is made of schedule 40 PVC pipe and ABS plastic water diffusers for corrosion protection in this
key area. The piping is easily removable for cleaning. The water diffusers have a minimum opening of 3/8 by 1 inch (9,5 mm
by 25,4 mm) and are practically impossible to clog. They also have an anti-sludge ring extending into the headers to prevent
sediment from building up in the diffuser opening
In addition, the spray branches have threaded end caps to allow easy debris removal.
The spray pressure for all Ultra-SST
Cooling Towers is between 1 and 6 psig (6,9 and 42 kPa) at the
inlet header. The actual spray pressure will be shown on the certified drawings which are prepared for each unit.

The Ultra-SST Cooling Tower product line is a
type 316/304 stainless steel Advanced Technology design which utilizes induced draft, counterflow technology–the most efficient in the
industry and the best design for operation in a freezing climate. The counterflow design provides the Ultra-SST Cooling Tower with
inherently better operational and maintenance features. These features are described below.
