preparation
It is not intended nor assumed that access to the fan deck on single-
flow models—Models MHF7103 thru MHF7107 and MHF705—is
needed or necessary.
Those are only some of the safety issues that may arise in the design
process. SPX strongly recommends that you consult a safety engi-
neer to be sure that all safety considerations have been addressed.
Several options are available that may assist you in addressing some of these
personnel safety concerns, including:
• Louver face distribution basin access platform with ladder and handrail.
• A handrail system around the perimeter of the fan deck with either one or
two ladders for access to the deck. Doubleflow models MHF7111 and
MHF7113 only.
• Extended fan deck that provides additional access around one end of
the fan cylinder opposite the fan deck access ladder. Doubleflow models
MHF7111 and MHF7113 only.
• Ladder extensions—used where the base of the fluid cooler is elevated.
• Safety cages for ladders.
• External lube lines.
• Access door platform.
• Motor located outside the fluid cooler. Doubleflow models MHF7111 and
MHF7113 with Geareducer drive only.
• External motor access platform. Doubleflow models MHF7111 and MHF7113
with Geareducer drive only.
• Plenum walkway.
• Mechanical equipment access platform.
Fluid Cooler Location
Space available around the fluid cooler should be as generous as possible
to promote ease of maintenance—and to permit freedom of airflow into and
through the fluid cooler. If you have questions about the adequacy of the avail-
able space and the intended configuration of the fluid cooler, please contact
your Marley sales representative for guidance.
Prepare a stable, level support foundation for the fluid cooler, utilizing weight,
wind load, and dimensional information appearing on appropriate Marley
submittal drawings. Supports must be level to insure proper operation of the
fluid cooler.
