Support Information
The Turbo-Cool 6'' Recirculating Evaporative Cooling System is designed to help cool livestock and poultry
houses. The system is shipped unassembled. Using this equipment for any other purpose or in a way not within
the operating recommendations specified in this manual will void the warranty and may cause personal injury.
This manual is designed to provide installation, operation, and parts listing information. The Table of Contents
provides a convenient overview of the information in this manual. The Table of Contents also specifies which
pages contain information for the sales personnel, installer, and consumer (end user).
DANGER : Electrical Hazard
Ground all electrical equipment for safety.
All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local
and national electric codes.
Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or servicing equipment unless
maintenance instructions specifically state otherwise.
Use a Wet Locations Outlet Box Cover when plugging the Sump Pump Cord into an

Required fresh water supply
*Assumes 80% pad efficiency and 425 fpm (2.2 m/s) air velocity through pad. For air velocities less than 425 fpm,
the water requirement should be reduced by the ratio of the actual pad air velocity to 425 fpm. For example: given
outside air conditions of 100° F, 40% RH, two 5’ x 60’ pads/house, and ten 48" fans producing 22,000 cfm @
.10" w.c., the total air flow is 10 x 22,000 =220,000. The pad area is 2 x 5 x 60 = 600 sq. ft. The air velocity through
the pads is the airflow divided by the pad area; 220,000 ÷ 600 =367 fpm. From the chart 1.5 gpm is required per
100 sq. ft. of pad. Because the air velocity is less than 425 fpm the actual water requirement is 1.5 x 367 ÷ 425 =
1.3 gpm per 100 sq. ft. of pad. The total water required for the house is 1.3 x 600 ÷ 100 =7.8 gpm.
Water Quality: 6 - 8 PH, salt concentration less than 40,000 ppm
Trough and Sump Water Capacity:
Trough Water Capacity-is 2.25 Gal/FT. [27.9 l/m]
Sump Water Capacity- 10.5 Gallons [39.7 Liters] when full to the top of the Water Level Indicator.
Important! CTB, Inc. strongly recommends that a good alarm system should be installed
in confinement buildings to warn of power failure and high temperature.
CTB Inc. also recommends that an alternate power source be available for
confinement buildings in case of power failure.
CTB, Inc. recommends the use of a Water Level Safety Switch. The absence of
a Water Level Safety switch will void any Warranty on the Water Pump.

System Layout
The Sump Assembly can be installed anywhere within a system following these guidelines....
•The maximum length of the system is determined by the Pump used (See “Submersible Pump
Options” on page 5). Maximum system length includes the length of system on both sides of the
Sump in "Sump in the middle" and "around the corner" systems.
•A system can turn 90° around a corner with the use of a 50464 Corner Kit. Install the Sump on the wall
with the longest Pad Length.
•The maximum amount of slope is 1-1/2"[38 mm] per system. The Sump end must be level with, or
lower than the rest of the trough.

Figure 2. on page 9 shows two options for installing the cooling pad relative to the
tunnel curtain and provides information for the Evaporative Cooling System opening
with Sump on either end. See Figure 3. on page 10 for opening information for
Evaporative Cooling System with Sump in the middle
It is recommended to frame the Pad opening using treated lumber.
1.Determine the location of the bottom stringer. See Figure 2, Item 3.
Use Wood or Lag Screws to secure the Bottom Stringer to the Studs.
The Lower Stringer must be capable of supporting 30 lbs/ft [45 kg/m] plus
3 lbs/ft [4 kg/m] for each foot of Cooling Pad Height.
Example: A 6' Cooling Pad requires a Stringer capable of supporting 30 lbs/
ft + (3 lbs/ft x 6') = 48 lbs/ft.
2.Determine the location of the top stringer. See Figure 2, Item 8. The distance
between the top and bottom stringers should be 2'' [51 mm] less than the height
of the Evaporative Cooling Pads.
Example: For a 60'' [1524 mm] tall Evaporative Cooling Pad the distance
between the stringers would be 60'' [1524 mm] - 2'' [51 mm] =
58'' [1473 mm].
Note: The slope (if any) of the top stringer must be the same as the bottom
stringer.
3.Snap a Chalk-Line on the lower stringer at the locations specified in Figure 2,
Item 13. This Chalk-Line will determine the location of the lag screws for the
Trough Supports.
4.Snap a Chalk-Line on the top stringer at the locations specified
in Figure 2, Item 12 &15. This Chalk-Line will determine the location of the
Splash Plate lower holes.
5.A short section of 2 x 6 treated lumber (Figure 2, Item 20) is required beneath
the Bottom Stringer at the Sump end to provide a back support for the Sump
assembly.

Framing for System with Sump in the Middle
Splash Guard and Pipe Hanger Installation
Note: The end holes in the Splash Guard must align with the chalk line and the end of the
first Splash Guard must be flush with the inside of the end framing. (See Figure 4.)
Secure the Splash Guards to the upper stringer, using a 1/4 x 1-1/2'' Lag Screw at each end. Secure the
Pipe Hangers to the stringer, through the Splash Guard, using (4) 1/4 x 1-1/2'' Lag Screws. Install the
remaining Splash Guards butting them tightly end to end. If the last Splash Guard is too long to fit
within the end framing, cut as shown and fasten the loose end to the Stringer with a 1/4 x 1-1/2" Lag
Screw.
