Clemson
University Beta site was a drop in
Conversion
at Clemson took under six hours
Improved Reliability
and Maintainability
Simplified
System
Increased
overall system efficiency
Elimination of gearbox provides biggest improvement in
overall fan drive system efficiency
Direct
motor reduces noise level of cooling tower
Although a Baldor V*S
drive is required, the majority of cooling towers are being retrofitted with VFDs for overall cooling tower system
efficiency improvement
