FG Series
FG Series Fiberglass Cooling Towers
The FG Series Cooling Towers offer unparalleled corrosion resistance, energy efficiency, and performance. For cooling requirements at 85°F (29.4°C) and above, water consumption may be reduced by 98.5% through the use of cooling towers to remove process heat. AEC Cooling Tower Systems are used wherever a reduction in water usage, water costs, and/or control of mineral precipitation associated with cooling towers is desired.

Cooling towers are particularly useful for applications operating at higher cooling-water temperatures where reducing water consumption and operating costs is a priority.
- A cooling tower recirculates process cooling water instead of continuously sending once-through water to drain. By rejecting process heat and returning the cooled water to the system, cooling towers can substantially reduce the amount of fresh water required for process cooling.
- Fiberglass provides a lightweight, non-corrosive shell for outdoor cooling-tower applications. This makes it well suited to environments where moisture and continuous exposure to water can create corrosion concerns with other construction materials.
- Cooling tower performance is influenced by outdoor air conditions because the system rejects process heat to the atmosphere. Local climate and required process-water temperature should therefore be considered when determining whether a cooling tower is appropriate for an application.
- Cooling tower systems operating in climates with freezing temperatures may require additional freeze protection. The FG Series offers an optional basin heater with low-water shutoff to help protect the basin against freeze-up when the system is shut down.
- Processors should consider the process heat load, required cooling-water temperature, local ambient conditions, available installation space, water quality, water treatment requirements, and how the tower will integrate with the facility’s pumps and process cooling system.
- High efficiency induced-draft design
- Balancing valve and pressure gauge
- Factory-tuned fan blade pitch
- PVC fill and Drift eliminators with ultraviolet (UV) protection
- Totally-enclosed non-ventilated TENV energy-efficient fan motor
- Vertical air discharge
- Large inspection/access door
- Anti-clog ABS nozzle(s)
- Stainless steel hardware
- Bottom outlet (requires a 24” [61 cm] – minimum support base under the tower)
- Lightweight non-corrosive fiberglass shell with fiberglass side seams
- Exterior gel coat/UV inhibitor
- 2 year warranty on parts
- 1 year on fan motors
- 1 year warranty on labor (North America only)
- 10 year shell warranty
- 460/3/60 or 230/3/60 starter package, including starter, on/off switch, thermostat, and well (consult factory for 208V or 575V)
- Basin reservoir, to be used where the basin of the tower serves as a reservoir. It is not necessary to purchase this package where an inside reservoir is used. The parts consist of a 0.75” automatic float valve, water outlet basket strainer, and overflow connection (Not recommended for bottom outlet towers).
- Heater, used with basin reservoir option to guard against freeze-up when system is shut down. Includes heater and low water heater shut off
- Factory startup, including checking motors, flow, adjusting nozzles. Towers must be installed and connected, including all piping and electrical hookups before AEC arrives on site.
- Access ladder, meets OSHA requirements (shipped loose for field installation)
- Side outlet configuration available at no charge
