Features

RECEIVING TANK: Heavy steel construction, mounted on steel legs, and fitted with thermometer and gauge glass.

MAKEUP WATER VALVE: All-bronze float actuated valve, flange mounted in tank head, permits entry of makeup water when required, to replace system losses. Complete with strainer on make-up water connection.

PUMP(S): Close-coupled, bronze-fitted, centrifugal design, with leakless mechanical shaft seal.

MOTOR(S): Drip-proof ball bearing type close-coupled to pump(s). Single phase motors in fractional H.P. frame sizes have built-in thermal overload protection. Single phase motors in integral H.P. frame sizes, and all 3 phase motors, are furnished with magnetic starters in NEMA 1 general purpose wall-mounting enclosures. Units are available with 1750 R.P.M. or 3450 R.P.M. motors (see Engineering Selection Table).

UNITS: Unit is factory assembled on single steel base with pump suction piping complete. Simplex unit has one receiving tank, one makeup valve and one pump and motor. Duplex unit has one receiving tank, one makeup valve, and two pumps and motors. Triplex unit has one receiving tank, one makeup valve and three pumps and motors. Quadruplex unit has one receiving tank, one makeup valve and four pumps and motors.

OPERATION: Boiler feed pump(s) is controlled by a boiler water level controller mounted on the boiler. These controllers are usually furnished with integral low water cut-off and alarm switches. Boiler feed water is taken from the receiver, and if condensate has been lost in the system, it is automatically replaced by the makeup valve.
