The ZL-400T low-drift eliminator reduces drift loss to less than 0.005 percent of circulation rate, versus 0.02 percent for conventional eliminators. Annual water savings at design flow (31.21 m3/h, 8000 operating hours): 4,300 liters saved per year versus cross flow designs. Combined with blowdown reduction, total water consumption is 18 percent below industry benchmark.
The ZL-400T contributes to LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C credits including: EA Credit Optimize Energy Performance (fan motor efficiency), WE Credit Cooling Tower Water Use Reduction (drift eliminator + cycles of concentration), SS Credit Construction Activity Pollution Prevention, EQ Credit Thermal Comfort verification. Documentation package includes LEED submission templates.
The ZL-400T annual carbon footprint at 8000 operating hours and 0.5 kg CO2/kWh grid intensity is approximately 6.0 metric tons CO2 equivalent per year. EC fan motor option reduces this to 4.9 metric tons CO2 equivalent per year (18 percent reduction). Lifecycle assessment per ISO 14040 shows payback of embedded carbon within 14 months of operation.
Yes, the ZL-400T basin and internal wetted components are compatible with treated greywater makeup per local discharge standards. Material compatibility testing completed per ASTM C868 for calcium hypochlorite, sodium bromide, and chlorine dioxide treatment chemistries. Recommended cycles of concentration: 4-6 for freshwater makeup, 3-4 for greywater makeup with higher TDS.
The ZL-400T sound power level per ISO 3744 is 84 dB(A) at design load. Optional ultra-low-noise package reduces this to 78 dB(A) with VFD fan speed control. For community-sensitive installations within 200 meters of residential zones, recommended sound attenuation package includes inlet baffles, discharge stack, and motor acoustic enclosure.
The ZL-400T provides Scope 1 (direct refrigerant leak equivalent zero, water discharge), Scope 2 (purchased electricity for fan motor), and partial Scope 3 (upstream embodied carbon in FRP and steel) emissions data per TCFD framework. Annual emissions report template provided with SCADA-monitored kWh consumption, water discharge volume, and refrigerant top-up mass.
