The Marley Difference – Redwood Lumber Grades
Library, White Papers
While both appearance and structural grades of redwood lumber are defined by appearance or visual characteristics, they have very different applications. For cooling towers and other structural applications, grading rules for structural grades of redwood establish requirements for strength characteristics such as slope of grain, knot size and frequency, and rate of growth.
The Marley Difference – Pressure Treatment
Library, White Papers
Lumber used in cooling tower construction must be treated with a reliable preservative compound to prevent decay. The industry's current preferred treating chemical is Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA), a waterborne formulation which prevents biological attack by fungi or other microbes. Other preservatives are also available.
The Marley Difference – Fan Cylinders
Library, White Papers
The fan cylinder does far more than protect operating personnel from a rotating fan. It is a vital link in the chain of critical components that contribute to the overall efficiency of the cooling tower. When correctly designed, manufactured and applied, it assures that the fan will be capable of moving the maximum amount of air through the tower at the minimum required horsepower.
The Marley Difference – Geareducer Drive
Library, White Papers
Marley Geareducers have been manufactured in a variety of sizes and load ratings appropriate for cooling tower applications since the 1930s. We began doing so because geared speed reducers suitable for cooling tower service were not commercially available. Since that time, we have produced well over 100,000 units, and have established an unparalleled record of performance reliability.
Corrosion Protection for Cooling Towers
Library, White Papers
The forces of corrosion (as the term is being used in this paper) are those elements or compounds whose natural tendency is to chemically or electrolytically react with a metal, given the opportunity and a proper set of circumstances.

For cooling tower service, any circulating water with more than 750 parts per million chloride expressed as NaCl is generally considered as salt water. However, the effects of chlorides will be much less severe at 750 ppm than they will at higher concentrations.
Cooling Tower Energy and Its Management
Library, White Papers
Because of the fuel shortages which began to manifest themselves in the early 1970s, the cost of energy began an asymptotic rise. The level of attention to energy savings has risen as a part of a broader green approach to design, including carbon footprint.
Cooling Tower Performance Basic Theory and Practice
Library, White Papers
A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which two fluids (air and water) are brought into direct contact with each other to affect the transfer of heat.
