Factory Assembled Cooling Towers (FAP) – Overview Factory Assembled (Packaged) Cooling Towers (FAP) are pre-engineered, pre-fabricated cooling towers that are manufactured in a controlled factory environment and shipped as complete units to the installation site. They are designed for quick and easy installation, making them ideal for commercial, industrial, and HVAC applications where space, cost, and time are critical factors. Key Features of Factory Assembled Cooling Towers (FAP) Pre-Assembled ConstructionBuilt and tested in the factory before shipment.Reduces on-site installation time and labor costs.Compact & Modular DesignDesigned to fit in tight spaces.Can be installed on rooftops, ground level, or mechanical rooms.Standardized Sizes & ConfigurationsAvailable in various capacities (typically from 5 to 500+ tons).Common configurations:Crossflow (easier maintenance, lower pressure drop).Counterflow (higher efficiency, more compact).Materials & DurabilityCasing: Galvanized steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP).Fill Media: PVC, polypropylene, or advanced high-efficiency fills.Drift Eliminators: Reduce water loss.Fan & Motor OptionsAxial fans (common in induced draft towers).Centrifugal fans (used in forced draft designs).Energy-efficient EC motors or variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better control.Water Distribution SystemGravity-fed (crossflow) or pressurized spray (counterflow).Nozzles designed for even water distribution.Corrosion ProtectionEpoxy-coated components for harsh environments.Stainless steel hardware in coastal or chemically aggressive areas. |
