         and low maintenance throughout the markets BAC serves.
BAC has led the evaporative cooling industry for over a decade in applying innovative technologies to factory assembled evaporative heat transfer products.
BAC application manager, Stephen Kline, said more than 500 direct-drive motors have been in- stalled in the US, in some of the most demanding climates and applications.
“With over 3.5 million operating hours, we knew that the ENDURADRIVE Fan System would provide AECOM and the Smithsonian In- stitution the peace of mind they needed. Also, by eliminating moving parts, gearbox oil changes, and other routine inspections, fan-drive mainte- nance costs are cut by 90 per cent,” Kline said.
The Morin Company president, Kevin Morin, said by applying the ENDURADRIVE Fan Sys- tem to traditional cooling towers, customers en- joy high reliability.
“They also reduce their costs for operating the cooling tower fan motor up to 10 per cent by eliminating the usual transmission losses of gearboxes and belts,” Morin said. “We expect the investment will pay for itself in under 36 months.”
RIGHT: New cooling tower technology from BAC improved heat rejection capacity and
chiller functions.
By choosing BAC’s ENDURADRIVE Fan Sys- tem, the cooling towers at the National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Centre are now ca- pable of meeting the site’s cooling needs with ex- tremely limited maintenance requirements.
Parikh said when it comes to new cooling tow- er installations, maintenance is the most impor- tant concern.
“Who wants to go up on top of a 25-foot tower or up inside of it to look at gears or the belt drive when something breaks?” he asked. “With the ENDURADRIVE Fan System that concern is just
about eliminated, the efficiency is greater, and even the installation is easier.”
Parikh said BAC sized the new cooling tower with increased capacity while staying within the pre-existing footprint.
“Since its installation, it has helped enable the HVAC system to maintain precise temperature and humidity, a critical concern in the museum building and research facility,” he said. “Most im- portantly, the need to climb the tower is rare, so the facilities personnel can remain safe even as the performance of the tower has improved.”
