●Closed Water Recirculation System Option

The system includes a reservoir (sump tank), pump and heat exchanger. .On a closed water pump system, spray water introduced into the tank through the spray headers is drained to a sump tank. The water is then pumped back to the spray water supply header for control by the header valves. The sump tank, filled from customer's water supply, has automatic water level control. The pump has a suction filter inside the sump tank at the pump port. The pump is mounted on the bottom tank frame members. Two pump choices are available: centrifugal and gear.

The 5 Hp centrifugal pump has a capacity up to 60 GPM at 70 PSI, and is self protecting. It can be operated without damage with the spray header valves fully closed.

The 2 Hp gear motor has a capacity of about 16 GPM. A relief valve on the output of the pump directs water to the tank to protect the pump if the spray header valves are fully closed.

●Sump Tank Option: On recirculating systems, a sump tank holds water for the open loop systems. Bottom tank frame members support the sump, which is caged but not anchored. The overflow PVC drain fitting is dual purpose, reversible. As installed, the NPTF is outboard for screwed piping. When the fitting is reversed, external piping may be cemented into the sweat end.

●Circulation Pump Option: A Crane circulating pump is normally used to move tank water across the optional immersion heating elements or optional cooling coils. The pump is hard piped to the tank and moves with it. Water flow is parallel to extrudate flow. The pump is operated at 120 volts through a step down transformer with the primary at 230 or 460 volts, single phase, 60 HZ. Power require- ments are about 0.5 KVA.

●Immersion Heater Option: The 230 volt, 3 kW, single- phase tubular electric heater is a self contained unit with off-on control and a temperature setting control dial. The unit is mounted through the sidewall of the tank and extends into the space below the extrusion. A pump is applied to move the tank water over the heater tubes to modulate end-to-end water temperature. The immersion heater is supplied direct at 230 volts but requires a 3 KVA transformer at 460 volts. The transformer is mounted in the lower part of the tank frame. Care must taken to ensure that the heater tubes are always immersed during operation, and that the heater is turned off before draining tank water.
