All pumps are mounted on a solid deck for addedrigidity, serviceability and safety.? Reservoirs are constructed of rugged plate steel or thickFRP for superior strength and reliability.? Steel reservoir seams are double welded, inside andout, for the ultimate protection from leaks and corrosion.? Steel reservoir interiors are carefully covered with athick coat of marine duty coal tar epoxy to prevent water-to-metal contact and extend reservoir life.? Thermal Care’s exclusive Victaulic (grooved pipeconnecting system) pump trim reduces the need forflexible couplings and eliminates pipe stress at start-up.Victaulic connections readily disassemble for fastmaintenance and reconfiguration when adding orchanging pumps.Inside of steel dualcompartment reservoir.1 PVC elbow at reservoiroverflow increasesholding capacity.2 Pump suction legsprevent vortexing andpump cavitation.3 Make-up valveassembly guaranteesconstant water level.4 Wave baffle reducesfloat turbulence.Full-sized pump trimassures optimum pumpoperation and maximumpressure and flow.1 Liquid-filled pressuregauge with isolation cockat each pump.2 Discharge butterflyvalve with handle allowsquick flow adjustment.3 Suction butterfly valveallows pump to bechanged without drainingthe reservoir.4 Spring-loaded, non-slamming check valveprevents water hammerand draining of waterlines at shutdown.5 Grooved couplingeliminates pipestressing and the needfor flexible couplings.6 Low level alarmprotects pumps andalerts operator toproblems quickly.4112433652Eliminate corrosionproblems with fiberglassreservoirs.PTF series fiberglassreservoirs offer asignificantly lessexpensive alternative tocostly stainless steelreservoirs when or wherecorrosion is a problem.? High-efficiency, close-coupled, non-overloading,centrifugal pumps are precisely matched to yourapplication, providing optimum flow and pressure toprocess with reduced electrical costs. Non-overloadingpumps improve motor life by assuring the motor operateswithin its horsepower rating.? Full-sized pump suction legs feature a 45° angleopening to prevent vortexing and pump cavitation. Thisalso enables the tank to operate at a lower level, saving thecost of water and valuable chemicals that may otherwiseoverflow to drain at shutdown.? Liquid-filled pressure gauges enable accurate flowadjustment. Isolation cocks prevent gauge pressurefluctuation and extend gauge life.? Programmable controller comes with digitaltemperature display and RTD probe that controlstemperature by cycling tower fan and recirculating pump.Includes high temperature alarm with indicating light.? Drain connection makes draining the reservoir easy.? Discharge check valve stops supply line flowback,eliminates the potential for water hammer at pump start-up, and eliminates impeller reverse rotation andpossible failure.? Properly-sized pump suction and discharge pipingtrim eliminates excessive pressure drop and maximizesflow to process. In addition, reduced water velocity meansless wear and erosion.? Prewired and mounted NEMA 4 control panel ishardwired to pump motors and all alarms, simplifyingfield installation and significantly reducing installation costs.? Years of trouble-free operation are assured with the useof high quality Allen-Bradley components and NEMA 4lights and switches as standard.? Automatic water make-up assembly maintainsconstant water level.These durable reservoirsare solidly constructed ofa thick FRP withhorizontal stiffeners forextra strength. Exteriorshave a gray color andinteriors come with asmooth white gelcoatlining. Inside of fiberglass dualcompartment reservoir.1 Fiberglass tankdivider.2 PVC pump suctionlegs prevent vortexingand pump cavitation.3 Make-up valveassembly guaranteesconstant water level.123For applications where atank is not required, apump deck assemblyincorporates pumps, trim,and a control panel on asolid steel deck.Suction and dischargemanifolds allow for singlepoint connection. Inaddition, the controlpanel is hardwired to themotors, simplifyingelectrical installation.This assembly has aNEMA 4 panel and TEFCmotors for outdoor use.All Thermal Care controlpanels are of NEMA 4construction, comecompletely prewired anduse only high qualitycomponents frommanufacturers like Allen-Bradley.PTH systems incorporatea tank, heat exchanger,circulating pump, and fullflow filter as a singleassembly. These systemsare ideally suited forgravity return applicationssuch as trough cooling.Options? Single or dual standby pumps for process and recirculating eliminate downtime. Pumps are available with complete connecting trim, including discharge manifold and isolation valves.? Automatic switching to standby pump protects againstdowntime due to pump failure.? Stainless steel reservoirs.? Full 3/4” insulation maintains reservoir watertemperature and eliminates “sweating”.? Premium efficiency motors cut electrical operating costsand offer rapid payback with utility rebate programs.? 1/4 to 3/4 level unbreakable sight glass features shutoffvalves and brass safety rods; allows for a quick visual check of reservoir operating level. ? Tank cover prevents contamination and evaporation.? Factory-installed and wired alarms with panel mountedindicator lights warn of low flow, low pressure, low level andhigh temperatures. Sonalert horn with silencer switch warnsof system failure.? Solid-state sensor with alarm provides trouble-free sensingof low water levels.? For operator protection, fused disconnect shuts off powerbefore door is opened for maintenance or inspection.? Panel-installed programmable logic controller (PLC)allows control sequences and alarm settings to be customizedfor individual process requirements.? Reservoir support legs conserve valuable floor space. Legs from the reservoir to the roof can be used to support acooling tower to reduce roof loading and eliminate additionalroof support costs. ? OSHA approved ladder, rail and toe board for elevatedtanks assure safe and easy service access.? Automatic pressure-operated water bypass valve assuresfull flow to equipment such as a chiller evaporator.Pump deck assemblieswith suction legs and footvalves are available forapplications with belowground reservoirs.Here’s how a plate andframe heat exchangerworks and the benefitsyou can expect.? High efficiency -Specially designedstainless steel corrugatedplates produce heattransfer coefficientsseveral times greater thanthose obtained with othertypes of heat exchangers.? Low initial cost -Often less than half thecost of shell and tubeexchangers.? Minimum fouling -High velocities andturbulent flow meanreduced fouling and moreeffective heat transferwith less downtime.? Close temperatureapproach -Large heat transfer areaallows process water tocool within two or threedegrees of incomingcooling tower water.? Easy-to-clean -Units quickly disassemblefor easy cleaning orservice. ? Expandable -If cooling load increases,additional plates can beeasily added. Rugged Thermal Carepump/reservoirs, ideallysuited for heat exchangermounting, provideconvenience andmaintenance accessibility.Factory-mounted heatexchangers include fullconnecting trim frompumps savingconsiderable installationtime and cost.Thermal Careplate and frame heatexchangers can be shipped loose ormounted to the deck of our pump/reservoirs.Factory-installed pump interconnections reduceexpensive field installation costs and save time. A coolingtower system provides the least expensive cooling per ton forapplications where 85°F water is acceptable. While providingan efficient method of cooling, tower water can becomecontaminated with air borne debris and dirt. And even with awater treatment system, scale can accumulate in heatexchangers thereby reducing heat transfer efficiency.A plate and frame heat exchanger will isolate contaminatedtower water from clean process water and still provide thelow-cost benefits of a cooling tower system. Also, a centralheat exchanger on a closed loop system reduces cleaning andmaintenance costs associated with operating several heatexchangers throughout a facility.While some equipment manufacturers provide a closed looptower with an integral heat exchanger, there can bedisadvantages to this type of system. The resulting tower isheavier, requiring more costly installation and expensive roofsupports. And, cleaning the heat exchanger in such a systemis extremely difficult.The diagram above showshow a heat exchanger canbe incorporated into acooling tower system.
