PME-E

PME-E Non-corroding cooling towers
PME-E series cooling towers
The PME-E series cooling towers are manufactured around a high
thickness (3-5mm) steel supporting structure, hot-dip galvanized
(600 g/m 2 ) after all fabrication and with fibreglass sandwich
panels of 22 mm thickness. This type of panel is produced with a
double laminated wall, between which is the expanded support
is interposed material. In this way one can obtain, even for large
dimensions, a greater mechanical strength and a good sound
absorption effect on the falling water noise.
The surface of the fibreglass, moreover, is protected with a gelcoat
resistant to U.V. radiation, to hot and cold water, and to the
abrasion caused by the weather and by chemicals.
The internal fill pack, made from self-extinguishing PVC, has an
undulation (flute size) of 20 mm in its standard version, rendering
it particularly apt for industrial applications; for applications with
very clean water, the tower version with 12 mm flute fill pack is also
available.
The multi-blade axial fan allows high performance with low
absorbed electric power, and single aluminium blades are easy to
replace. With 16 different models, all available with or without
water collection basin, this series covers a capacity range approx.
between 580 kW and 2600 kW (indicative cooling capacity referred
to a 5°C water temperature range). Inspection hatch for internal
inspection/access is fitted as standard.
Special versions
The PME-E series is also available in a special “Container” version,
designed and built for easy transportation in “full-box” and open
top containers, optimising dry/despatch volumes and reducing
costs. For all the versions the following special executions are also
available:
• Version ATT for high temperature inlet water
with a max peak value of 80°C
• Version N for water containing modest quantities
of suspended solids
• Version N-ATT for water containing modest quantities
of suspended solids and having high
temperature inlet water with a max
peak value of 80°C
• Version GS for water containing large quantities
of suspended solids
• Version Silent and Super Silent with low sound levels.
Accessories and construction variants
The following optional accessories and construction variants are
available on request for all models:
• anti-clog spray nozzles
• three-phase electrical basin-heater with regulating thermostat
• minimum level cut-out switch
• two-speed motor with graduated thermostat (or automatic
cascade control panel, or control system with inverter)
• electric control and regulating panel
• removable side-walls, the purpose of which is to allow both
convenient inspection and, above all, easy cleaning and
maintenance interventions on the internal components of the
cooling tower.
