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 Set

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, normallly 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 guage stainless steel tank with 1/2" thick insulation 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.
• Plant layout drawings showing customer's equipment location, cooling equipment location, pipe runs, line sizing and electrical requirements.
• Proper water distribution is critical to system operation and efficiency.
