The cold water basin and drive system are the most important areas of a cooling tower to maintain. As a result of the evaporation process in a cooling tower, dirt and debris will collect in the basin and must be cleaned out on a regular basis. EVAPCO’s Ultra-SST basin section, constructed of Type 316 stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion protection, is designed to allow quick and easy access, promoting maintenance of the cold water basin. 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!
