Fluid Cooler installation

These installation instructions are intended to help you prepare be-

fore your fluid cooler arrives. If discrepancies exist between these 

instructions and those shipped with the fluid cooler, the instructions 
shipped with the fluid cooler will govern.

1.   Prior  to  placement  of  the  fluid  cooler,  confirm  that  the  supporting 

platform is level, and that the anchor bolt holes are correctly located 
in accordance with Marley drawings. 

2.   Place bottom module on your prepared supports, aligning anchor bolt 

holes with those in your supporting steel. Make sure that the orienta-
tion agrees with your intended piping arrangement. Attach fluid cooler 
to supporting steel with 13mm diameter bolts and flat washers (by 
others). See support drawing for location and quantity. Position flat 
washers between the bolt head and the fluid cooler basin flange.

3.   Before setting top module in place on bottom module, clean any debris 

from the underside of the top module, skid and beams and from the 
top of the bottom module. Apply the mastic sealing strip supplied with 
the fluid cooler according to the 

MC Fluid Cooler Field Installation 

Drawing

 instructions. Place top module on the top peripheral bearing 

surface of bottom module, aligning mating holes as it is set in place. 
Attach top module to bottom module with fasteners provided accord-
ing the 

MC Fluid Cooler Field Installation Drawing

 instructions.

4.   Connect the recirculation piping with rubber coupling shipped with 

the bottom module piping according to drawings shipped with you 
fluid cooler.

5.   Attach makeup water supply piping to appropriately-sized float valve 

connection located in collection water basin side wall. Install the drain 
and  overflow  according  to  the 

MC  Fluid  Cooler  Field  Installation 

Drawing

 instructions. If you wish to pipe overflow and drain water to 

a remote discharge point, make those connections at this time also.

Fasteners and components provided by others that are to be attached 
to the tower must be compatible with the fluid cooler materials—
i.e.  fasteners in a stainless steel cold water basin must be stainless 
steel.
