Piping Interface Connections
The BCP2D should be installed using the following guidelines:
1. Proper installation of the interconnecting piping is critical to the BCP2D system effectiveness.
2. BCP2D inlet, outlet and drain connection are standard glued on PVC connections.
3. Do not reduce the pipe size on the connections to and from the BCP2D or of the drain line. Increasing the
pipe size is acceptable.
4. Refer to recommended installation schematics provided with the submittal packages for the various system
configuration options:
•
(1) BCP2D for use with closed circuit evaporative equipment
•
(1) BCP2D for use with closed circuit evaporative equipment with a separate booster pump
•
(1) BCP2D for use with single open circuit evaporative equipment
•
(1) BCP2D for use with multiple open circuit evaporative equipment in parallel
Design Criteria
The BAC standard BCP2D water treatment system is designed for use with evaporative cooling equipment. The
number and sizing of BCP2D is function of the cooling system design load conditions, expected operating cycle
of concentration (hence water usage), and application for open and closed circuit evaporative cooling
equipment. Determination of these aspects is made by a qualified BAC representative. Changes in system load
which increase the bleed rate may require an increase in the size of each BCP2D .
Installation and Anchoring
The BCP2D should be located as close a s possible to the sump or system interface piping: maximum 7 m
distance.
For longer distance, it is recommended to install a separate booster pump (by others).
The BCP2D is designed to receive water flow at the inlet from pressurized sources, such as the pressure side of
the spray pump or condenser water lines. The pressure at the inlet of the BCP2D should not exceed 60 kPa.
The discharge water from the BCP2D should be returned on a non-pressurized point, preferably the cooling
water sump or the suction side of the system circulating pump (for open cooling towers).
The drain should be connected directly to a drain collecting point.
