Cooling Towers
Foster Wheeler engineers have had wide experience in the design and construction of high-efficiency cooling towers for service under any climatic conditions. FW lowers have been constructed all over the world to meet the cooling requirements of a variety of industrial needs, such as those.encountered in chemical plants; public utilities; textile manufacture; office buildings and department stores; and oil
refineries. Careful study of each pro posed installation is undertaken before recommendations for the most suitable tower are given.

SURFACE COOLING has many converts. THESE installations show the trend
toward space cooling by the sprayed surface method. Hundreds of installations, from Boston to Los Angeles have been made. The systems are automatic, and very
little water is required:

APRIL SHOWERS is the trade name of an EFFICIENT fool proof method of pre venting roof heat penetration or solar infiltration causing excessive heat in upper floors and in factories, stores, theatres, shops, etc.
City water under normal city pressure is usually adequate to serve your APRIL SHOWERS system. The sun operates it. Roofs LAST LONGER, greater comfort is assured, production during the summer's heat is kept apace, errors through fatigue are avoided, and MANAGEMENT acclaims APRIL SHOWERS a GOD-SEND.
Developed in 1933-34. APRIL SHOWERS controlled roof cooling is protected by U. S. Patents; beware of imitators or infringers. USED BY AIR CONDITIONING ENGINEERS to cut solar load.

Left: Three of five induced draft towers, introduced by Foster Wheeler and,in stalled in 1933 on the roof of the R. H. Macy department store in New York City. The first two towers cool cir culating water for the condenser of a turbine; the other towers, only one of which is shown, cool water used in Macy's air conditioning system.

Vacuum Refrigeration
Schematic diagram showing arrange ment of a typical vacuum refrigeration system. These systems, which cool water by subjecting it to high vacuum, supply chilled water for air conditioning or refrigeration. When a sufficient quan tity of steam is available, vacuum refrigeration systems have several out standing advantages--low initial cost; low maintenance cost; no toxic, explosive refrigerants; and, exclusive of pumps, no moving parts. Entire units designed and constructed by Foster Wheeler.
