American Cooling Tower Inc. (www.americancoolingtower.com) highlighted its composite fiberglass towers. These units are available in sizes ranging from 400 to 10,000 tons and are offered in a full range of counterflow and crossflow designs. Wood or concrete towers are also available. General Manager Robert King said these towers are perfect for central plants and have a footprint ranging from 12 by 12 feet to 54 by 54 feet.

Baltimore Aircoil Company (www.baltimoreaircoil.com) announced the addition of new models to the induced-draft FXV product line, significantly expanding its closed-circuit cooling tower offerings. The FXV line, originally consisting of all single air inlet cells, now includes larger, higher capacity dual air inlet models. According to the manufacturer, these new cell sizes extend the FXV design by utilizing dual coil bundles and wet deck surfaces on one common fan system. Projects benefit from fewer required cells, lower overall fan horsepower, and fewer piping connections. Cells can be multiplexed side by side, resulting in a smaller plan area, low installed cost, and low operating cost, the company said.
