PROGRESSIVE
GLOBAL ORIGIN
DYNAMIC FUTURE
More than 100 years ago, two ingenious
pioneers laid the foundation for SPX Cooling
Technologies. In Germany in 1894, Hans-
Joachim Balcke invented the chimney cooler,
the first natural draught cooling tower. In
the USA in 1936, L. T. Mart, having estab-
lished The Marley Company, developed the
first crossflow mechanical draught cooling
tower. This innovative spirit prevails today
in the SPX Group.
Although our company has become
synonymous with cooling technologies –
particularly in the energy industry – we
will not rest on our laurels. Innovative ideas
and excellent engineering, combined with
consistent efficiency and proactive service,
are at the heart of our corporate philosophy
and committed partnership with our clients.

PLANNING WITH INSTIN
CONCEPTION
From the start of the project, analysis,
communication and conceptual design are
carried out in close consultation with the
client. Our experts — specialising in thermo-
dynamics, hydraulics, process engineering,
instrumentation and controls as well as
structural and civil engineering — ensure
that all planning and approval steps are
coordinated with the development of the
unit as a whole. Each project is completely
customised, which involves developing
new ideas and innovative solutions.
cooling towers is carried out in the same
experienced and timely manner as for
refurbishment work, outage inspections
and overhauls. This is guaranteed.
MAINTENANCE
Existing systems should run optimally without
any downtime and achieve the best possible
performance at the lowest operating costs.
We provide services ranging from repair work
to retrofitting and upgrading existing cooling
towers to enhance efficiency. A wide variety
of advantages is achieved by retrofitting
various components: longer service life,
greater cooling performance, lower power
consumption, reduced drift loss and noise
emission, and abatement or elimination of
the visible plume. We support our clients after
they have purchased a system by providing
regular testing, inspections and maintenance.
CONSTRUCTION

INTERNATIONAL FOCUS
PART OF THE PHILOSOPHY
In the past, the technical idea and its
implementation were the initial key focus.
Today the requirements and wishes of
our clients are crucial to all of our actions.
We do not consider our assignment to
be fulfilled until maximum efficiency, best
cost effectiveness, minimum maintenance
time, optimal conformance to the environ-
mental conditions, and the targets set
by our customers have been achieved.
PART OF A REFERENCE NETWORK
The leading role in a keenly competitive
market is primarily attributable to the large
and constantly growing number of satisfied
customers. Our reference list provides im-
pressive proof of this. Very few international
power generation projects do not include wet
cooling from SPX Cooling Technologies.
We are also in demand as a partner in other
sectors, such as refineries, chemical,
petrochemical, steel and fertilizer industries.
Our presence in these markets will continue
to grow.
