 Requirements for Water Cooled Pumps
Adhere to the following for water cooled pumps (See Figure 10):
1. Requirements for water cooled pumps will vary with manufacturer.
Consult manufacturer’s instructions for fl ow rate and temperature
requirements.
2. Check local codes regarding disposal of hot water.
 Combination Deaerator/Thermal Buff er/Expansion Tank
Fulton Thermal’s effi cient design combines the operation of the expansion,
deaerator, and thermal buff er tanks. Installation is considerably simplifi ed by
virtue of this arrangement.
The expansion section is vital to the thermal fl uid system. From ambient to
operating temperature, the thermal fl uid in the system will typically expand
in the range of 25% to 50%, and a vessel capable of handling this expansion is
mandatory. The customer should confi rm the expansion rate of the chosen fl uid
and system volume.
At start up, the primary purpose of the deaerator section is to remove all volatiles
from the system to avoid pump cavitation. The deaerator section also allows
