5. MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!! See section 2.1 Safety instructions
All maintenance operations must be performed after
cutting off the power supply. All measures must be
taken so as not to operate within the equipment
when the latter is running.
The equipment must be adequately cleaned as
suggested by the installer according to the features of
the installation environment. Do not use solvents
and/or abrasive products for cleaning, because these
substances may affect the agitators safe operation.
The agitator shall not be dry-operated (unless designed for this
kind of operation) for periods over one minute, and in any case it
may be dryoperated only during the running-in or testing stages.
During operation, the agitator does not require any special
maintenance, provided that all the recommendations
contained in this manual are observed.
After the first 500 hours of operation, change the oil of
the agitators gearbox (if the latter is of the oillubricated
type) and flush the full system after
discharging the used oil. Gearboxs lubricated with
synthetic grease or with oil for life are maintenancefree.
Regularly check the lubricant level on the
gearbox and change it every 4.000 operating hours,
unless otherwise specified.
The lubrication of bearings (except for watertight
bearings, that are maintenance-free) must be
performed by adding grease through the specially
designed grease nipples.
The grease inside bearings must be changed when the
agitator is inoperative and disconnected from the mains.
To guarantee a longer life of the equipment, the
latter must be serviced with care, replacing all
parts that are more subject to wear, such as
bearings, oil seals, seals, bottom bushings, etc.
All disassembly and assembly operations must be
performed by qualified staff operating with the utmost
care in a clean environment.

MAINTENANCE
The most frequent operations, to be carried out at intervals determined by the operating
conditions, are the following:
Water distribution system
TAL cooling towers are equipped with a water distribution system without nozzles but with
non-clogging, stainless steel construction diffusers which do not require special
maintenance.
We recommend to check periodically the condition of the diffusers and their position through
the specific inspection door.
The hole in the clip fastening the diffuser to the pipe should be concentric with the pipe hole
and should not obstruct it; the perforated plate beneath the outlet hole shall be clean and all
holes shall be unobstructed.
Access to the diffusers for dismantling and/or reassembling is obtained through the
inspection door, proceed as follows:
- take note of the arrangement of the individual sections, remove the first layer of the
wet deck surface and also the second, only when necessary.
Pag. 12
The following checks must also be carried out periodically for the towers provided
with a water sump.
Float valve calibration
Malfunctioning of the float valve may cause the water level in the sump to fall which, in turn,
would cause the pump to draw air or produce an unnecessary increase in water consumption
by drawing more water from the mains supply and discharging it at the overflow.
- Above all, ensure that the supply pressure is contained within the values allowed (as
an average, between 1.5 and 3 bar).
- Check that the position of the float is correct to maintain the desired level (about 2 cm
below the overflow fitting).
- Check the condition of the float and its secure fixing to the rod.
- Check that the valve closes at the required level.
Cleaning water and sump strainer
A large amount of impurities contained in the air are trapped by the water and, together with
those which have entered the tower, are collected in the towers basin, possibly obstructing
the metal filters (with larger particles) supplied with the equipment.
Periodically, after emptying the sump, remove the water strainer and clean it with running
water, taking care not to damage the zinc-plating.
At the same time, clean the sump thoroughly, washing off and removing any foreign matter
and sludge.

IDENTIFICATION PLATES
Each tower is supplied with at least one identification plate, normally positioned near the
furthest right inlet fitting.
On the plate, next to the Tower Model, is stamped our Internal Reference Number, this
number must always be stated when asking for any information concerning the tower.

Inspection
Regular inspection and preventive maintenance
ensure more reliable operation.
The pump should be inspected at least twice a year,
more frequently under severe operating conditions.
Under normal operating conditions, the pump should
have a major overhaul in a service shop after 10 000
hours of operation or at least every second year.
This requires special tools and should be done by an
authorized service shop.
When the pump is new or when the seals have been
replaced, inspection is recommended after one week
of operation.
Service contract
ITT Flygt or its agent offers service agreements in
accordance with a preventive maintenance plan. For
further information, please contact your ITT Flygt
representative.
Inspection warm liquid versions
Pumps in warm liquid applications shall, depending on
the time they have been submerged in the warm
liquid, undergo inspection or overhaul at a service shop
as follows:

7.1 General
Always disconnect the pump from the
mains before inspection or disassembly.
Clean the pump thoroughly.
The motor housing can be hot when the
pump is just switched off.
Ensure that the pump is fully supported to
prevent it from falling over!
7.3 Lubricants
* The bearings are greased for life and need
no refill.
* The oil reservoir is filled with SHELL VITREA

Viscosity: 46 cSt.
When another kind of oil is used this is
marked on a label on the pump.
