MOLDING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!
In the past, the shortcoming of most fan stacks was the inability to produce molds that would yield precise radius dimensions and fan tip clearances.
CNC machining does make a difference. We CNC our fan stack tooling to 0.001” tolerance to ensure accurate tip clearance without the need for shims or
spacers. Precise fan stack radius dimensions eliminate “clover-leafing” that occurs with inaccurate tooling. All this technology results in a fan stack that is accurate and reduces installation issues, providing years of trouble-free service without the need for constant adjustment.
WHAT MAKES STAR FAN STACKS BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION?
Our fan stacks are constructed using the strongest laminate schedule of any fan stack currently in the industry. The strength of the stack is evident in the laminate schedule and the overall weight of the stack. This results in more material and greater overall strength, and the additional mass results in lower harmonic frequencies. All this adds up to a fan stack that is capable of withstanding high winds and seismic loads while reducing vibration levels across the entire spectrum.
Each fan stack has horizontal and vertical ribs to ensure superior strength, and the top, bottom and side flanges are wider and thicker than our competitor’s fan stacks.
HORIZONTAL RIBS ARE 8” WIDE VERSUS THE COMPETITOR’S WITH LITTLE OR NO HORIZONTAL RIBBING
VERTICAL RIBS ARE 6” WIDE VERSUS 5”
SIDES AND TOP FLANGE ARE 4” WIDE VERSUS 2-1/2”

THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO WOOD
Unlike wood, Star Cooling Towers structural FRP shapes offer superior resistance to a broad range of chemicals. They are virtually unaffected by moisture or immersionin water and do not require chemical preservative treatment. They are inert and easily disposed of in landfills.
The Star structural FRP shapes are stronger, with higher structural design values than traditional wood. And, they are approximately half the total weight of comparable wood sizes.
Star structural FRP shapes are available with a standard resin system of slate gray fire retardant polyester resin meeting the requirements of Class1 rating of 25 or less per ASTME-84 and the self-extinguishing requirements of ASTMD-635. The resin is UV inhibited and the composite includes a surface veil on all exposed surfaces for enhanced corrosion and UV protection. Other resins and colors are available upon request.
Compare the advantages of Star Cooling Towers structural FRP shapes to traditional structural wood. You will discover a better, cost-effective choice for your coolingtower refurbishing projects.
Note: The mechanical properties of dimensional FRP profiles differ significantly from those of dimensional lumber. It is important to examine the structural profile’s required mechanical performance to determine the suitability of dimensional FRP in the intended application. Please consult Star Cooling Towers when designing with dimensional FRP shapes and decking.
