START UP / OPERATIONS
A.
System Checks
1.
Before operating the pump tank station, verify the unit piping installation and unit
electrical installation is correct as outlined in section 2 of this manual.
2.
System should be leak checked prior to pump tank system operation.
B.
System Fill
1.
All systems have automatic make-up. Some have mechanical and some system
use a float switch that activates an electric solenoid valve.
2.
For units with electric automatic water make-up. Turn on plant water supply
to the tank and activate power supply to the tank. The water make-up solenoid
will open and begin filling the tank. Note: if electrical service is not connected the
tank will not fill, manually fill the tank until the water level is even with the location
of the external level switch tank.
3.
For units with mechanical water make-up... turn on the plant water supply to
the tank. The tank will fill until the water level reaches the make-up float.
4.
For all units... when the water level has nearly reached the top of the baffle, the
unit is ready to start.
C.
Valve Placement
1.
Open to 100% the suction valves on the process and tower/evaporator pumps.
2.
Open to 50% the discharge valves on the process and tower/evaporator pumps.
3.
Open to 100% the main ‘to’ and ‘from’ process header valves.
