MBE4000 APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION
Rapid Warm-up Deaeration Tank - Down Flow Radiator
The rapid warm-up deaeration tank consists of an integral top tank (ITT) or a remote tank with the
same design features. The top tank design should provide the following characteristics:
□
A non turbulent chamber for separating air (gases) from the coolant
□
Ability to
fi
ll at a minimum speci
fi
ed rate
□
Adequate expansion and deaeration volume as well as suf
fi
cient coolant volume so the
system will operate satisfactorily with partial loss of coolant
□
Impose a positive head on the water pump
□
Prevent coolant
fl
ow through the radiator core during closed thermostat operation
□
Prevent introduction of air into the cooling system during maximum tilt or angle operation
Remote Mounted Radiators/Heat Exchanger
Consult an authorized distributor, radiator supplier, or DDC Application Engineering when
remote (i.e. non engine driven fans) mounted radiators/heat exchangers are being considered as
many variables
must
be considered for each application. The requirements that must be met
for remote mount are:
□
Standard DDC installation and test requirements including restriction to
fl
ow and coolant
fl
ow rate
□
Maximum allowable static head pressure is 35 ft of water column
□
Installations where
fl
ow rate restrictions cannot be met may require using an inline pump
