So here is what it looks like with the wires strung. Make
sure the wires are good and tight before you make anything permanent with
gobs of hot glue. Its really important that there is
no slack in the wires or the system will not work well. Sorry for the crappy
paper backdrop. |
|
Our next step is to cut a piece of plexy the same width as
the inside of the cooling tower. Using a Dremel tool or any other working
means cut 3 long holes for the blades of the filter to sit in. Glue and clamp
it to the bottom of the unit. But do not do this to the top yet. Let the glue
cure. |
|
Using a pair of pliers remove the metal fins from the rest
of the slide out filter body. On the backs of the fins there will be a
plastic strip that the ends of the fins are inserted into to prevent any hard
edges on the unit. Carefully remove these (they should slide right off) and
save then for later. |
|
Using a Dremel tool, cut the fins to fit the inside length
of the unit from top to bottom. Do not use tin snips or anything that will
deform the shape of the fins. Believe it or not it’s really important that
there be no crimps in the metal. |
|
With the 3 fins cut to size and the extra properly
disposed of cut the plastic ends to the fins to size and reinstall them on
the fins. Make sure they are seated fully by carefully tapping them with a
rubber mallet. |
