Chapter 2: Functional Description
2-1 Models Covered in This Manual
This manual covers many models of cooling tower pump tanks and chilled water pump tanks with operating capacities of 100 to 6,125 gallons (378 to 23,183 liters). Pump tanks are designed, specified, and engineered to meet the needs of the process specified at the time of purchase. Model numbers are listed on the serial tag.
Model numbers start with a CT or CW to describe cooling tower or chilled water tank configurations. The number following is the approximate capacity up to the overflow of the tank well(s) and a D at the end indicates a dual well configuration. Additional numbers are added to signify pump horsepower. For example, a CT1600D-20-20-10 pump tank is a cooling tower tank, 1,615 gallon (6,113 liter) capacity to its overflow, has dual wells, a 20 hp process pump, a 20 hp dual standby pump and a 10 hp recirculation pump.
A model number followed by –Q is specially-constructed, and the information in this manual may not apply. Make sure you know the model and serial number of your equipment before contacting the manufacturer for parts or service.
2-2 General Description
Single well pump tanks are reservoirs for chilled water and tower cooling water processes. Process pump(s) deliver water through the chiller or cooling tower as well as through the process. Dual well tanks have re-circulation pump(s) to deliver water from the hot side to the chiller or tower. The water then returns to the cold side, where process pump(s) deliver cooled water directly to process.
Standby pumps may be used as backups for both process and re-circulation during service or maintenance procedures. Manifolding options provide ease of connection to process and can ease the transition to standby pumps.
Pump Tanks Chapter 2: Functional Description 7 of 36

Chapter 3: Installation
3-1 Uncrating Your Pump Tank
Caution! Due to the size and weight of larger model pump tanks, the manufacturer
recommends using bonded professional millwrights to unload and move larger pump tanks.
Rig the pump tank from the frame only and use spreader bars to prevent load transfer to any pump tank components. Rig the frame from at least four points and balance the load before lifting to clear the skid.
3-2 Installation Location Considerations
Consider the following points when locating your pump tank:
Locate close to the chillers and/or cooling towers and the process itself to minimize
field piping expense
Locate adjacent to drain and city water sources
Consult a structural engineer to assure that the floor, mounting pad, or structural steel
support is of adequate strength
3-3 Rigging
Due to the large size and weight of the pump tanks, we recommend professional rigging and installation. We have a nationwide installation organization that can install your system.
Do not remove the base skid until the unit is at the final location. Lower the unit (do not drop it) from any truck, platform, or shipping dock.
All 150 through 400 Series pump tanks are provided with lifting lugs on the pump tank frame. All 500 Series and larger tanks are provided with lifting lug brackets on the pump tank body. When lifting, use adequately rated hoist, lifting straps and/or chains. Avoid transferring the load to the pumps and any other components.
Metal pump tanks are provided with slots in the frame for use with fork trucks of sufficient capacity and properly sized forks.
Pump Tanks Chapter 3: Installation 10 of 36
Page 11
3-4 Installing Separate Tank Ledge Models
Pump tanks from the 2000, 2700, 3700, and 5100 Series are a two-component design with separate tank and pump ledge assemblies.
These models include a hardware package and assembly drawing located in the information packet. The tank and pump ledge were temporarily joined together at the factory, so all components should line up properly in the field.
General guidelines for installation are the following:
Two-piece models are not designed to be lifted as a unit. Fully and separately support
both tank and ledge assemblies when they are moved.
Providing a level area for the tank installation will simplify reconnecting the pump
ledge to the tank.
Floor mounted tanks and ledges are joined together with support plates and the pump
trim. Gravity and mass provide most of the structural integrity.
Leg-mounted tanks and ledges are joined together with support plates, the pump trim,
and bolts between the facing surfaces of the tank and ledge. Typically, the tank assembly is lifted and mounted on the four legs first, then the pump ledge is lifted with a fork truck, and the two remaining legs are attached. Use the center leg bolt holes and the facing surface bolts to bring together and align the ledge and the tank. See assembly drawings on pages 28-30for detailed instructions.
Butterfly valves bridge the gap between the ledge and tank flanges. These butterfly
valves may be shipped loose or mounted to the pump suction connection to the tank.
The flanges may not always line up as expected due to the tendency of the metal to
move as it cools. Extra effort may be required to help align the flanges to bring the tank sections together properly.
Caution! Improper handling may also cause movement of the flanges. Be sure the lifting
lugs or forklift holes are used for moving the tank and base. Do not use any of the piping as a means of moving the equipment into position.
3-5 Installing Optional Equipment
See pages 28 to 32 in the Appendix for assembly details for the tank legs, ladder, and sight glass.
3-6 Making Electrical Connections
Supply electricity of the voltage, phase, and cycle listed on the serial tag. Pump motor voltage must be within plus or minus ten percent of the nameplate voltages.
Pump Starters. Pump motor starters may be pre-mounted, shipped loose, or not provided, depending on the options specified on the order.
On/Off Selector Switch. All pump starters are supplied with an on/off selector switch on the starter enclosure cover.
Pump Tanks Chapter 3: Installation 11 of 36
Page 12
3-7 Making Piping Connections
Piping systems vary with process application and pump tank configuration. Typical system configurations are available in the Appendix, but the details may or may not apply to your application. Refer to Figure 1 on page 13 for pipe sizing guidelines. Piping systems must be designed by a person knowledgeable in piping system design and configuration. Our contracting department can design and install a piping system tailored to your process.
All process piping returning to the pump tank must be equipped with an inverted trap with a vacuum breaker at the high point of the system to prevent mains from siphoning into the pump tank.
Run mains full size in order to reduce pressure drop in the system and provide maximum pressures at the ends of the mains.
Caution! Do not support piping from the tank or from pumps. Do not weld piping or
piping supports to the tank, as epoxy coating on some tank models can be damaged.
Caution! Customer is responsible for converting connections to metric sizes as needed.

Pump Tanks Chapter 3: Installation 15 of 36
Page 16
Chapter 4: Operation
4-1 Start-up
1. Close the drain line at the bottom of the pump tank.
2. Open the 1” makeup water valve and allow the tank to fill until the automatic float
valve shuts off. Adjust the float level so the standing water level is 16” from the top of the tank, 12” on 150 Series pump tanks. Some tower systems may require a lower level to allow for drawback from the cooling towers.
3. Check all wiring integrity, field installed controls and voltage.
4. Verify pump motor rotation: should be clockwise from the motor end.
5. Open all pump suction valves fully and lock down.
6. If the process piping is not full of water, close the discharge valves of a process pump
and start that pump. Open the discharge valve very slowly to fill the system. Do this very slowly to prevent the piping from shaking resulting in possible breakage. When piping is full, the discharge valve can be left fully open, if the pump is a non­overloading pump. Follow the same procedure for the other process pumps.
7. Repeat step 6 for re-circulating pumps. Leave pump discharge valve(s) fully open.
Throttle the valves for proper flow and pressure drop. Lock down and mark valve(s) when complete. (On metal towers, throttle the pump for the flow rate and balance the valves on the hot basin(s) for proper depth.)
4-2 Determining Flow Rate
1. Close the gauge cock leading to the pump suction side, and open the gauge cock
leading to the pump discharge.
2. Start the pump and make note of the discharge pressure in psi (kPa/bars).
3. Check the pump curve (See page 25) for the appropriate sample curve discharge
pressure in psi (kPa/bars).
4. Project this point down to find the flow in gpm (lpm).
Pump Tanks Chapter 4: Operation 16 of 36
Page 17
4-3 Stand-by Pump Usage
All stand-by pumps should be checked intermittently to make sure they are operational for when they may be required for usage.
Single Stand-by pump:
1. Open the suction valve fully and lock down.
2. Open the discharge valve slowly until it is equal to the pump it will be replacing.
3. Shut down the pump being replaced and make sure the suction and discharge valves
are fully closed.
Dual Stand-By Pump
1. Open the discharge manifold valve on the proper side of the divider for the
pump being replaced. Be sure the opposite discharge manifold valve is fully closed.
2. Open the suction valve on the proper side of the divider for the pump being
replaced. Be sure the opposite suction valve is fully closed.
3. Open the discharge valve slowly until it is equal to the pump it will be
replacing.
4. Shut down the pump being replaced and make sure the suction and discharge
valves are fully closed.
4-4 Shut-down
1. Prepare all process and related equipment for shutdown.
2. Shut down all pumps
3. Close the water makeup valve.
4. If you are draining the system, open the 2” drain valve.

Chapter 5: Maintenance
5-1 Preventative Maintenance
Water Treatment
Control of slime, algae, and bacteria growth is extremely important. Cooling towers and reservoir pump tanks are superb environments for microorganism growth. Warm water, organic debris, and air encourage bacterial growth. Treat your system with chemicals (microbiocides) to control microorganism growth.
Caution! Uncontrolled microorganism growth causes system problems such as fouling
and corrosion, and can spread bacterially-transmitted diseases.
You must reduce slime growth and bacterial contamination to eliminate disease-causing bacteria.
Properly used, environmentally approved microbiocide controls system bacteria. Chemical treatments must be regularly monitored by qualified personnel.
The manufacturer strongly recommends use of EPA-registered microbiocides on a regular basis. We do NOT recommend use of chlorine or backyard swimming pool chemicals. Permitting the discharge of such chemicals into a city sewer may violate local, state, and/or federal laws.
We offer a full-service water treatment program including chemicals, dispensing equipment, automatic bleed-off, and monthly water analysis. Contact the Parts and Service department for more information.
Lubricating Pump Motors and Seals
Some pump motors require greasing; use a high grade ball and roller bearing grease such as Shell Dolium R or Chevron SR1. Motors with regreasable bearings are shipped with a high quality, wide temperature range grease.
Caution! Pump seals require water for lubrication, so the pumps must never be run dry
or be dead headed.
Always fill the tank before attempting to operate the pumps. Seal failures usually result from running the pump dry.
Maintaining Makeup Valve Assemblies
Periodically inspect the water makeup valve assembly for proper operation. If the valve no longer shuts off completely or reliably, replace it. Make sure that the plastic ball float is buoyant for proper operation.
