a) Reliable and long lasting.
b) Sturdy construction.
c) All parts in galvanised steel sheet painted with BTEPOWDERPAINT
before being assembled.
d) No welds on parts in galvanised steel sheet.
e) No self-tapping screws used to avoid damaging the paint.
Only bolts, nuts and double washers are used to protect the paint from scratches. Each bolt is tightened by special industrial tools of the highest quality that ensure correct tightening.
f) No transmission units. All motors are
directly coupled. Less maintenance,
consequently lower costs, lower
vibrations and lower energy
consumption.
g) All motors are connected in-plant to an external terminal board.
h) Electric motors with power of 15 KW
(8-pole) or over have external
lubricators.
i) No spray nozzeles used for the water distribution system, instead non-clogging gravity distributors, in AISI 304 stainless steel, connected with nuts and screws to the header.
j) Because the water gravity
distributor protects the exchange
surface, avoiding damage caused
by mechanical action of water on
the FILM type surfaces.
k) For a sturdy main header in steel tubing, hot dip galvanised after
working. The sturdy
construction protects the
distribution from possible
water hammer caused by
the pumps, protecting the
exchange surface.
l) Strong protective fan
exhaust grill.
m) Both fans and water
distribution network do not
require maintenance.
n) If necessary, they can be supplied with an extra exchange surface
section in order to increase the performance in a later time.
o) Because if fitted with LOLIPANN filling easy to clean and sanitise, they
can also cool dirt water and work in dusty environments. LOLIPANN
modules can be hot
sanitised in order
to prevent the
spread of
Legionella bacteria.
p) When equipped with a NON-clogging LOLIPAN surface, these tedious
and costly downtime
will never happen again.
To date, the Towers
supplied over 30 years
ago continue to work
with the initial
performance, without
any decay. Constant
performance and little
or no maintenance.
q) The towers can be supplied with an arrangement for cool water with
temperature up to 99 °C.
r) Because they can be supplied with special components suitable for
working in particularly rigid environments with temperatures down
to -50 ° C.
s) Because the electric motors can be supplied with certification for
American, Canadian and Russian standards.
t) Because the motor-fan part can be supplied in the ATEX anti-spark
version. To eliminate the spark problem it is not enough to use antispark engines, it is essential to provide an adequate anti-static
impeller.
u) Because the MEP series is designed to be easily loaded, transported
and unloaded on both trucks and containers.
v) Because all our cooling towers are electrically tested before shipment
to make sure that the motor-fan units reflect the absorptions required
by the strict Boldrocchi TE specifications. The technicians of our
parent company BODROCCHI SRL, the undisputed world leader in
ventilation too, have drawn up specifications that guarantee the
highest quality and reliability.
w) Because our highly qualified quality manager carefully inspects all the
equipment from the construction phase to the most meticulous
control of every smallest component, without neglecting the
management part of the bureaucracy.
x) If it’s necessary, sump volume (if sump supplied) can be more than
doubled.
y) The water inlet connections and outlet connections (when supplied)
can be provided indifferently on four sides or where you want.
z) Because they can be customized.
aa) Because the new concept BOLDROCCHI TE Towers can be supplied in the "ECO" version with energy and
acoustic savings. If a normal tower
consumes 15 kW it is possible to have an
ECO version tower that consumes 3kW and
the acoustic impact goes from 80 dB (A) to
less than 70 dB (A). The higher initial
investment pays for itself in about 1 working year (8,000 h).
bb) Because they can be fitted with DRICONPLUS, patented and
tested by the
Politecnico di Milano,
the new inertial drift
eliminator, made of
several injection
molded polypropylene
panels assembled
following the air flow
direction thus
constituting an easy-to-handle single module The drift eliminator
section forces the air flow to suddenly change direction and fosters
the release of
suspended water
droplets.
The panels,
characterised by very
high mechanical
resistance, are at least
1.5 mm thick and can
endure temperatures as
high as 90 °C.
If needed, the performance of the section can be subsequently
increased in order to obtain nearly complete or complete retention of
the droplets in the air flow.
The higher the amount of the droplets removed, the lower the water
consumption and the risk of the spreading of Legionella bacteria.
The performance tests carried out at the Italian University Politecnico
di Milano in Milan, under test conditions which were similar to those
present in cooling towers, showed that the most performing
arrangement of DRICONPLUS drift eliminator was able to retain
100% of the droplets in the air flow.
DRICONPLUS panels are suitable for temperatures up to 90 °C and
can therefore be cleaned with high pressure water or steam jets.
The LOLIPANN polypropylene panel is injected-molded and thus characterized by precise
workmanship, sturdiness and is relatively thick (in terms of millimeters and not centimeters). Other
features are listed in the technical card “ technical features 001” enclosed.
The different elements are pressure connected by means of four taper pins positioned
approximately on the four corners. The number of panels that can be connected in a single row is
almost infinite.
The connecting geometry is intentionally fixed to avoid mistakes during assembly that would
inevitably lead to yield variation.
The total number of sections made up of LOLIPANN panel is uniformly distributed so that the free
sections are also uniform. There are no spaces that contain an excessive number of sections nor
ones that are excessively free.
Sections made up of LOLIPANN panels can be overlapped at alternate axes until the
required thickness has been reached. For thickness up to 1500/1800 mm, sections can simply be
overlapped; for greater thickness, in-between supports must be placed.
The surface obtained with the LOLIPANN panels is splash type, thus able to perform even if loaded
with dirt, lime or organic material. This feature enables the surface weight, which when clean
weighs as much as the Film surface, to increase significantly when used.
For this reason the support chooses preferably uses a system that supports "from below" and not
"from above". In other words, the sections are NOT suspended, by REST on the special supports.
Each LOLIAPNN panel and each section obtained by connecting the panels to each other is
complete with special lower clamps needed to guarantee section stability (they hook unto the
supports, between the panels of the lower section, etc).
The versatile LOLIPANN panels can substitute almost all sections used today. Easy to use, they can
be connected to each other easily and intuitively (even though instructions are always provided)
making their assembly possible directly on the premises by relatively unskilled personnel.
