One of the very first factory assembled cooling towers ever designed and manufactured. Evolutionary enhancements over more than 70 years have made this the cooling tower of choice for over 50,000 installations since 1947! The Aquatower cooling tower has inspired many imitators, but only Marley can offer you the original. Its compact size means there are no hidden spray systems, tiny nozzles, or enclosed basins. All primary components of the Aquatower cooling tower are open to view, which means that maintenance does not get any easier.

Compact and Powerful
Your needs have dictated constant technological improvement. Thousands of Aquatower cooling tower users enjoy the benefits of eight major redesigns and dozens of minor improvements in the past 65 years. For example, PVC film-fill enables the Aquatower to reject more heat per unit size. We also put the air inlet louvers and drift eliminators integral to the fill sheets. This new arrangement saves you fan horsepower by improving airflow through the cooling tower.

Simplified Maintenance

The Aquatower is a maintenance delight! You’ll appreciate the way the Aquatower cooling tower simplifies maintenance. No hidden spray systems, tiny nozzles, or enclosed basins here! You can easily replace and align V-belts from outside the cooling tower.

All primary components of the Aquatower are open to view. You can easily remove any debris from the upper basin or nozzles while the cooling tower is in operation.

Heavy mill galvanizing on all steel components prevents base metal corrosion. Optional stainless steel and fiberglass models enhance the Aquatower with proven corrosion resistance.

Ready for Your Job
Above all, the Aquatower is readily available. You won’t have to wait around or accept second best when you need a cooling tower. We maintain an impressive stock of completed cooling towers at our own plants. A growing number of local distributors can draw from that stock.

Contact your local distributor or Marley representative. They’ll be glad to help you choose the proper model cooling tower for your needs. They can also help you with your cooling tower layout and piping

The Marley® NC Alpha is a steel structure, splash fill, factory assembled crossflow cooling tower, designed to serve “dirty water” cooling systems which would place the long term operation of a film-fill cooling tower in jeopardy. With shorter lead times and the elimination of stick-built field-assembly labor, the NC Alpha cooling tower offers distinct advantages for industries where dirty water warrants a splash-fill cooling tower.

The NC Alpha is the ideal replacement for splash fill applications previously utilized by the Series 10/15 cooling tower line.

Flexibility of Design
Available in various cell sizes, fill air travels and fill heights. Within each of these cooling tower cell plans, several aspects of the basic design can be varied in order to achieve optimum operating economy. The choices include variations in fill type and density, fan type and size, fan cylinder height and shape, drift eliminator type and density and water distribution method and operating head.

Choices
For each basic cell size, the designer can choose from a significant number of possible component combinations. Several of these may result in economical selections capable of the thermal performance requirements, but only one will optimally satisfy the fan horsepower (kW), pump head, plan area and other evaluation paramenters that may have been imposed by the owner’s specifications.
