True Hurricane Damage Prevention The Fan Lock is a patented system that can prevent tens of thousands of dollars in damage to your cooling tower by locking the mechanical equipment and preventing the fans from rotating in high winds. As wind speeds increase, unlocked fans will rotate at dangerous velocities. When wind loads are high enough to flex the fan shrouds into the rotating fan blades, the impact will result in a shattered fan assembly and irreparable damage to the fan shrouds. Further damage may also be done to the gear reducers, drive shafts, drive motors and the cooling tower structu ..read more
