 Tower
Water Tank Sets
1st Choice Chillers manufactures tower water tank sets for
the process cooling industry. We offer 7 standard models, each with
double pumps, baffled tank and lid. The two pump system has one
pump dedicated to the chiller or chillers to maintain constant water
flow required by the chillers to ensure maximum efficiency and safe
operation.
The second pump is dedicated to the process to supply higher flows
than the chillers would normally allow, and higher water pressure
required by the varying process equipment demand.

Benefits of the Tower Water Tank Sets
Longer Lasting: Stainless steel tank, baffles and tank lid
mounted on a rugged structural steel base that is coated with a
rust preventative paint.
Higher Operating Efficiency = Lower Operating Costs: Our
pumps generally supply the same flow and pressure as the competition
with lower horsepower motors, normally one size smaller.
Trouble Free Operation: With TEFC pump motors, liquid tight
electrical conduit, industrial duty pumps and motor starters.
Easy to Use: Our tank set design makes it easy to install,
start up and operate.
Standard Features of the Tower Water Tank Sets
Heavy gauge stainless steel tank mounted to a structural
steel welded base coated with a rust preventative paint.
Tank complete with: Process side thermometer and brass well, pump
discharge pressure gauges with brass shut-off valves, heavy-duty
bronze city water float make-up valve with bronze shutoff valve,
3" side overflow connection, and 1" side bottom drain
connection with bronze shutoff valve.
Pump trim consists of the following:
- Suction: A bronze gate valve or lever-operated butterfly
valve depending on whether the pump is threaded or has flanged
connections. Galvanized union or steel flange for pump removal.
- Discharged: A galvanized union or flange for pump removal.
Water-type check valve and a bronze ball valve or lever operated
butterfly valve. Pump discharge pressure gauges with brass shutoff
valves.
Industrial duty motor starters with thermal overloads and stop/start
push buttons for the process pump, hand-off auto switches for
the tower pump and tower fan. The starters are mounted to the
tank prewired to the pump motors using liquid tight flexible conduit.
Capacity control is by two (2) thermostats sensing the process
water temperature. As the water temperature fails, the first thermostat
cycles off the tower fan. As the water temperature fails further,
the second thermostat cycles off the tower pump. As the process
water temperature rises, the tower pump is started first, followed
by the tower fan. This not only controls process temperature,
but saves on electrical energy during the spring, fall and winter
months.

Proper water distribution is critical to system operation and
efficiency.
