The Result of Sound Engineering
The NC Class not only sets the benchmark for low
sound levels it also sets the benchmark for some of
the highest crossflow tonnage densities per box in the
industry. For over 50 years NC cooling towers have
delivered thermal performance, low maintenance,
versatility of options and outstanding value. But, of even
greater significance, the NC Class is now quieter.
The redevelopment, redesign, the “evolution” of the NC
cooling tower into the NC Class was the first project at
SPX Cooling Technologies to fully utilize and employ our
new ISO 9001 Certified “Product Development Process.”
Four-cell NC Class cooling tower
serving a municipal power plant.
■ Long Life Construction
Available in series 300 stainless steel or rugged heavy mill
galvanized steel. Marley ISO certifi ed plants assure quality
factory-assembly. Plus, the NC Class stainless steel tower
comes with SPX Cooling Technologies’ exclusive 5-year
limited warranty.
■ Low Operating Costs
Marley's high-effi ciency fi ll and fans, gravity-fl ow water
distribution, and effi cient mechanical drive systems work
together to offer maximum cooling with minimum power use.
■ All Season Performance
Performs as specifi ed in the heat of summer—responds
well to energy-management techniques in the spring and
fall—operates virtually ice-free in the dead of winter—and
offers simple maintenance all year long.
■ Real World Design
Designed for severe wind, seismic,
shipping, operating and live loads.
■ CTI Certifi ed
Plus, we guarantee the
thermal performance of each
tower as installed.
■ Factory Mutual Approved
FM approval is available on the
entire line of NC Class cooling
towers. Currently 94 NC Class tower
models are FM approved without
any additional cost.

■ Water Distribution System
Multiple choices of piping connection options—single inlet, dual inlet, top, side or bottom inlet, side outlet or
bottom outlet—designed to have the right connections for your application.
Gravity flow distribution system—allows easy, nonrestrictive maintenance. Basin covers are standard.
Marley Spiral Target polypropylene nozzles—delivers precise distribution of water over the fill area.
Marley MX thermoformed PVC film fill—suspended from structural steel tubing. Integral louvers keep
circulating water confined to fill, even at low air rates.
Drift Eliminators—limit drift losses to no more than .005% of the design L/s flow rate.
■ Structure
Crossflow configuration—provides easier and safer maintenance.
Series 300 stainless steel or G600 galvanized steel construction.
Factory assembled—ensures final field installation will be hassle-free.
Two large access doors—provides nonconfining, quick visual inspection of cold water basin,
internal structure, drift eliminators and mechanical equipment in the plenum area.
■ Air Movement Package
Removable fan guard—welded heavy gauge rods. Hot dip galvanized after fabrication.
Eased inlet fan cylinder—ensures full area, low turbulent airflow through the cylinder.
High efficiency fan—wide-chord design for maximum efficiency at low fan tip speeds.
Marley System 5 Geareducer® drive—requires no oil changes for five full years. Offers significant savings
in maintenance costs. Marley SofTork™ coupling absorbs excessive shock loads at start-up.
Marley PowerBelt™ drive (limited current availablity)—all aluminum sheaves, easy belt replacement and
40,000-hour bearing life.
TEFC Fan Motor—1.15 service factor, variable torque, and specially insulated for cooling tower duty.
The NC Class air movement package including the structural support—guaranteed against failure for a
period of five full years. The motor is warranted separately by the motor manufacturer.
NC Feature Highlights
■ High Efficiency Axial Fan
Adjustable-pitch fan blades permit maximum utilization
of rated horsepower—allows field adjustments to optimize
tower performance.
■ System 5 Geareducer
The Geareducer option requires no oil changes for five full
years—the lowest maintenance requirements in the industry.
Reduced waste stream and environmental impact.
Independent testing has proven a Marley Geareducer is
up to 4 dBA quieter than the gearboxes used by most other
cooling tower manufacturers.
■ Fan Motor
TEFC 1.15 service factor, horizontal-shaft motor
designed to Marley specifications for cooling tower duty.
Specially insulated for humid cooling tower service.
Mechanically Correct Quiet by Design
■ SofTork Coupling
Absorbs excessive shock loads at start-up—forgives
minor misalignment between the motor and Geareducer.
■ Five-Year Mechanical Warranty
Five-year total mechanical equipment warranty including
mechanical equipment support, plus our exclusive
5-year maintenance-free System 5 Geareducer.
All NC Class cooling towers are designed for low sound
levels using high blade-count, wide-chord fans for maximum
efficiency at low tip speeds. For those extreme, low sound
applications, consider the NC Class low sound “L” models.
To achieve the very lowest possible sound levels while
maintaining efficiency, “L” models are carefully selected
with the best available combination of motor, drive ratio, fan
blade-count and blade profile.

Popular Options
■ Single Inlet Connection—choose from either side inlet
or bottom inlet connections. All piping from the inlet
connection to the distribution basins is part of the
tower package*.
■ Handrail and Ladder—provides sturdy and stable
access to the top of your tower. Ladder safety cages
and ladder extensions are also available.
■ Access Door Platform—steel structure and bar-grating
attached to and supported by the tower. Full length
bar grating interior walkways are also available.
■ Mechanical Access Platform—provides internal
ladder to elevated bar-grating platform with handrail,
facilitates maintenance access. Exterior platform with
ladder and handrail also available for outside motor
option. Modular tower only.
■ Motor Location Outside—easily accessible and is not
subjected to the constant humidity that exists inside
the tower plenum. This option uses a Marley full-
floating stainless steel driveshaft.
■ Distribution Basin Dam—allows significant variations
in flow rates while protecting the tower from the
disadvantages of poor water distribution—icing, fill
scaling and erratic performance. Permits the operator
to stage chillers and pumps, and still circulate water
efficiently over all cooling tower cells with the benefit
of dramatically reduced fan hp for a given heat load.
* Standard pipe material is schedule 40 PVC. Steel piping is available as an
option and/or where FM approval is required.
■ Control Systems—ranges in sophistication
from standard fan starters and disconnects to
Programmable Logic Controllers that work in
conjunction with your building or process system.
■ Variable Speed Drive—provides the ultimate in
temperature control, energy management, sound
control and mechanical equipment longevity.
■ Solid State Water Level Control Package—monitor
basin water level with solenoid-valve water makeup.
Configurations include makeup along with high and
low water level alarm and cutoff and electric basin
heater cutoff.
■ Stainless Steel Welded Collection Basin—all collection
basin parts exposed to the circulating water including
structural members projecting into the basin, plus
attaching hardware, and all basin options, including
sumps are heavy-gauge series 300 stainless steel.
Galvanized steel tower option.
■ Stainless Steel Distribution Basins—corrosion is
usually most aggressive in the hot water distribution
basins. Stainless steel provides long, trouble-free
service life. Galvanized steel tower option.
■ Extended Geareducer Oil Line—includes a dipstick to
check Geareducer oil level. Located at the fan deck
level near the side of the tower.
■ Air Inlet Screens—keep leaves and debris out of the
tower with factory-installed, U-edged, galvanized wire
mesh screens over the air inlets.
One of the larger multicell NC Class models
with a variety of options including: motor outside,
handrail, ladder, ladder safety cage.
Just about anyone can put together a device that cools
water. Some might even claim to be leaders in the cooling
tower business. But the fact is, one company has had more
new ideas than all the rest combined. No other cooling
tower manufacturer has advanced the industry more than
the combined resources of SPX Cooling Technologies.
