Our cooling towers are manufactured with non-corrosive materials, which result in a longer life with minimum maintenance. Protec Cooling Towers do not rot or rust like conventional towers because all main parts are fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) and rigid poly-vinyl chloride (PVC). This eliminates the need for painting and repairs, reducing maintenance cost and guaranteeing long dependable service.
All fan motors are water-proof and totally enclosed. (TEFC & TEAO). All fan blades are reinforced nylon, aluminum alloy or fiberglass (FRP) with adjustable pitch. Blade pitch is pre-set and balanced at factory.

The efficiency of the round, bottle-style Protec Cooling Tower is not only thermal, but operational, a fact that one should seriously take into consideration when choosing a cooling tower. Our 360 degree air intake and lower face velocity through the fill offers less air resistance, therfore requiring less motor horsepower than other cooling towers, and guaranteeing considerable electric energy savings.
The efficiency of a cooling tower depends upon its fill. The Protec Fill is made of rigid PVC film of flame retardant quality with high heat exchange efficiency. This fill is suitable for operation with inlet water temperature up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54°C).
The High efficiency fill reduces the motor input HP and assures uniform distribution of water, with minimum resistance to air flow.
The inlet water pressure will rotate the sprinkler pipes to distribute the water evenly over the entire surface of the fill, ensuring maximum performance capability. Protec’s sprinkler pipes have non-clog openings and are corrosion resistant. Distribution headers for models up to PCT-80 are constructed of polyacetal, and for larger models, bronze. A water eliminator blade is located above each water distribution pipe to avoid carry-over of water.
For smaller towers, the support stand is made of fiberglass (FRP). For the larger models, all steel members are hot dip galvanized. Stainless steel parts are also available as an option. Note: All fastners are standard. Stainless Steel on all models.
The FRP casing and basin are guaranteed against defective materials and workmanship for a period of five years. The rest of the components are guaranteed for a period of one year. Five years are available at an additional cost. When returned to PROTEC with transportation prepaid, all parts found by factory inspection to be defective will be repaired or replaced without charge, FOB our plant.
Pump head is obtained by adding resistance of piping, pressure drop of equipment and cooling tower. Spring Vibration Isolators cannot be installed directly underneath the support legs. Our model numbers are equivalent to tons when the selection is based on 3GPM/TON at 95°F inlet water temperature, 85°F outlet water temperature and 75°F ambient wet bulb temperature. For motors 7.5 HP and above, installation of stardelta or soft start starter is recommended.
The cooling tower must be located at such distance and direction to avoid the possibility of contaminated tower discharge air being drawn into building fresh air intake ducts. It is recommended to consult with a Licensed Professional Engineer to certify the location of the cooling tower.
Water Treatment must be supplied and/or applied by a professional in the field in order to avoid fill damage. It is the user's/owner's responsibility to treat the water in order to stop biological contaminations and avoid, among other bacterium, the Legionnaire’s Disease.
