- Control Valve for 6018-AF: 1” cooling control valve, for 6018-AG: 2” cooling control valve.
- Pressure Reducing Regular Valve (6018-AG): Lowers the supply pressure of the cold water to about 25 PS.
- Automatic discharge of already used water to allow entry of cooled fresh water.
- Use of current sensors and Automatic control temperature or C Thermos controller.
- Separate windows for temperature and set point indication.
- Pneumatically controlled valve opens for water to enter when the thermostat has been achieved.
- Insufficient hose size and too many bends in one puts additional resistance leading to loss of head.
- Size and performance characteristics to view should be calculated subsequent to which the Installation and Operation chapters are discussed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between the models 6018 AF and 6018 AG?
A: The main difference lies in the sizes of the water supply, drain, delivery and return lines as well as the control valves utilized in each model.
Q: With the immersion heater in mind what type of heater does the unit deploy?
A: It deploys three phase immersion heaters with a low watt density construction to ensure fouling is minimal and to extend heater life.
Q: And how is the temperature controlled and maintained in this unit?
A: This unit is equipped with a pneumatic modulating temperature controller that indicates the read exposing how hot or cold the water is at that instant.
Q: For 6018 ag, what is the purpose of the pressure reducing regulator valve?
A: It allows the modulating valve to function within a lower pressure range of 25 psl which in turn ensures that the modulating valve does not encounter a higher pressure differential and prevent it’s functioning.
Q: What are the steps I should take if there is a drop in the water supply pressure?
A: In such cases, one must examine the setting on the pressure switch, if it is set at a lower point than the water supply pressure then indeed the functioning of the unit will halt and hence there is a need to check the supply water pressure.
Q: What can happen if the unit employs hoses which are not the appropriate size?
A: Hoses that are smaller in diameter than necessary may restrict water flow to the circuit, which, in turn, causes pressure to build up and reduces the capacity to cool.
Q: Is it at all possible to vent a heater that is currently in use?
A: In other words, would the shield design influence the operational effectiveness by making it easier to vent the tank during remote use when the heater is hung.
Q: Is there an easy way to contact someone for any kind of support related to parts?
A: The manual contains a multitude of contact numbers for customer service so that users are supported geographically.
