Models
XE Models are now available on both the Series 3000 and Series 1500 Cooling Towers. XE
Models are tailored for projects that require a extreme efficiency unit to further minimize
energy costs, reduce sound levels, and contribute to LEED® Certification Points. XE
Models are at least two times more efficient than the minimum requirements established
in ASHRAE Standard 90.1 - 2013. The following example illustrates the operating cost
savings over the life of a cooling tower comparing the first cost model and an XE Model for
a 500-Ton Selection.

BAC Materials of
Construction
BAC offers a variety of materials to meet the corrosion resistance, unit operating life, and budgetary
requirements of any project. Each of these materials underwent extensive testing in BAC’s Corporate
Technology Center and have been successfully operating in the field for at least ten years.
URES
EXCLUSIVE FEAT
99Standard Construction Hot dip galvanized G-235 steel construction structural members.
99TriArmor® Corrosion Protection System A BAC exclusive three layer barrier that is
proven to provide greater corrosion protection than stainless steel for cold water basins. It is completely
impervious to cooling system water chemistries and operating conditions as well as pitting, chloride
stress, crevice crack corrosion, and leaks.
G-235 galvanized structural steel is fully encapsulated with a thermosetting hybrid polymer, providing
a second layer of protection and providing a base for the third layer. Once assembled, the interior 1 G-235 Heavy Galvanized Steel Basin
of the basin receives a coating of an industrial grade polyurethane barrier, finalizing the seamless 2 Thermosetting Hybrid Polymer Coating
3 Impermeable Polyurethane Barrier
construction on the cold water basin. Provided with a 5-year leak and corrosion protection warranty.
99EVERTOUGH™ Construction For the ultimate in corrosion protection, BAC offers EVERTOUGH™ Enhanced three-layer corrosion protection for
Construction, which combines the benefits of the TriArmor Corrosion Protection System—three layers
® the cold water basin
of protection in the cold water basin—and adds polymeric water distribution systems and all steel
structural components protected by thermosetting hybrid polymer. Provided with a 5 year louver-to-
louver warranty, EVERTOUGH™ Construction optimizes corrosion resistance for all water chemistries.
99Welded Type 304 Stainless Steel Cold Water Basin This factory welded cold water
basin provides further security against leaks and comes with a 5 year leak warranty.
99Stainless Steel Construction BAC stainless steel units have panels and structural
elements constructed of Type 304 stainless steel and have factory welded seams in the cold water The highest level of corrosion protection for all
basin to ensure watertight assembly, and the basin is leak tested at the factory. All factory seams are vulnerable components
warranted for 5 years against leaks.
With its variety of material of construction options, BAC delivers units designed for long service life
under any budgetary concern. For more information or selection assistance, please contact your
local BAC Representative.
