ZL-60T 60 Ton Industrial FRP Counter Flow Cooling Tower - HVAC EPC Contractor
The ZL-60T FRP counter flow cooling tower delivers 210.97 kW heat rejection at 60 refrigeration tons with 46.8 m3/h water flow rate. The following sections detail engineering specifications, operational considerations, and application-specific integration guidance for the ZL-60T.
The ZL-60T cooling tower integrates into HVAC systems as the condenser water cooling source for large water-cooled chillers. The 46.8 m3/h flow rate matches the condenser water requirement of a 70 kW chiller operating at standard 5 deg C condenser water range. System integration includes: chilled water pump (sized 1.2x flow rate), condenser water pump (matching tower flow), plate heat exchanger, expansion tank, chemical water treatment system, and BMS interface. The ZL-60T's 210.97 kW heat rejection supports approximately 7 RT of chiller capacity when paired with a standard efficiency chiller.
The ZL-60T cooling tower requires a 380V 3-phase 50 Hz power supply for the 1.5 kW fan motor, with IP55 Class F insulation suitable for outdoor installation. Power supply sizing: motor full load current approximately 3.0 A at 380V, recommended breaker sizing 4.5 A. Variable frequency drive (VFD) compatibility is standard, enabling 30-80 percent energy savings during shoulder seasons. VFD installation requires EMI filter to comply with EMC directives and motor bearing insulation to prevent shaft current damage.
Foundation design for the ZL-60T cooling tower requires careful consideration of operating weight, wind load, and seismic requirements. Concrete pad specifications: minimum 150mm thick reinforced concrete pad with #5 rebar at 300mm centers, surface area approximately 3750mm square. Anchor bolt specifications: M16 stainless steel expansion anchors at 600mm centers. For seismic zones 3 and 4, additional seismic tie-down points are required per ASCE 7. Foundation inspection and engineer sign-off required before tower installation.
Standard project schedule for ZL-60T cooling tower installation: week 1-2: order placement and production scheduling; week 3-6: factory production and quality testing; week 7-8: shipping transit; week 9: site delivery and crane installation; week 10: piping and electrical connections; week 11: water fill, chemical treatment, and commissioning; week 12: performance verification and operator training. Total project duration: 12 weeks from order to operational handover.
