Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pump and Tank Systems
.
Q: What is a pump and tank system used for?
A pump and tank system circulates and stores process coolant, providing the flow, pressure, and reservoir volume a chiller or process loop needs. It is used to add capacity, buffering, or redundancy to a cooling system.
Q: When would I need a separate pump and tank package?
You need one when your chiller lacks built-in circulation, when the process requires higher flow or pressure than the chiller’s onboard pump provides, or when extra reservoir volume is needed to stabilize temperature. They are also used to feed multiple process points from one loop.
Q: How are the pump and tank sized?
Pump selection follows your required flow rate in GPM and the system pressure drop, while tank volume is set by the buffering and thermal stability your process needs. Share your loop details and we will size both components together.
Q: Can the system include redundant pumps?
Yes. Duplex or standby pump arrangements are available so the loop keeps running if one pump is serviced. Specify your uptime requirements and we will configure the redundancy accordingly.
