09-18: Recent Development in Motor Technology Allow Direct Drive of Low SpeedImproved reliability of cooling tower systems is now possible due to a new development in motor technology. This paper will discuss the development of low speed, permanent magnet motors and how they can be used in direct drive applications to eliminate the gearbox, NEMA motor, driveshaft, and disc couplings from cooling tower designs. A case study will be presented where an existing tower was refurbished using a direct drive motor which fit the exact
