2-5 Overhead Process Considerations
If your application has chilled water or process piping above the reservoir fill and vent level,
install a standpipe to a point 30 cm above the highest point in the system.
In applications where the process or its piping is 4.6 m or more above the reservoir, you
must take steps to prevent over-pressurization of the reservoir. This
condition can occur on system shutdown when the water in the system drains into the
reservoir.
To prevent this, install a check valve in the unit TO PROCESS line and a vacuum breaker at
the high point of the return FROM PROCESS line. See Figure 7 below for more information.
Note: The reserve capacity of the reservoir can hold a volume equal to 6.1 m
of 25mm pipe.
The reservoir vent & fill line
to be piped 304.8mm above the highest
point of the system. The vent line
must remain open to the atmosphere.
