DRISTEEM DRANE-KOOLER WATER TEMPERING DEVICE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
COOL DISCHARGED HOT WATER
Drane-kooler is a water tempering device that mixes cold water
with hot water discharged from various types of equipment, such
as a humidifier, to reduce the discharged water temperature
before it enters a municipal sewer system .
There are two reasons to use a water tempering device . First,
most municipalities prohibit draining water hotter than 140 °F (60
°C) into their sewer systems . And second, PVC drain pipes are
susceptible to damage from water that is too hot . When faced
with either of these situations, Drane-kooler is the solution!
HORIZONTAL DESIGN
A space-efficient horizontal orientation and side drain outlet
provide enough clearance to allow the Drane-kooler to be
mounted directly underneath DRI-STEEM humidifiers, saving
footprint space while allowing room for pitched drain piping .
HOW IT WORKS: HOT + COLD = TEMPERED!
1 . Hot water discharged from a humidifier or other appliance
enters the Drane-kooler through piping connected to the top
threaded connection . A vacuum breaker prevents backflow
into potable water systems .
2 . Cold water enters through the temperature-actuated valve .
The valve and the Drane-kooler's straightforward design
ensure efficient mixing of hot and cold water . The valve's
sensor, located near the outlet, ensures that water leaving the
Drane-kooler is 140 °F (60 °C) or less before entering the
municipal sewer system .
3 . Tempered water at 140 °F (60 °C) or less exits through the
side outlet for safe discharge into a municipal sewer system
or PVC pipe .
RELIABLE, NON-ELECTRIC VALVE
The temperature-actuated valve is time-tested to be reliable and
maintenance-free . And because it is non-electric, no wiring is
required .
MULTIPLE MOUNTING OPTIONS
The Drane-kooler can be mounted by attaching the integral
mounting plate to a wall, by attaching the mounting plate to an
adjustable floor stand, or by using an assembly for suspension
mounting . These multiple mounting options provide capability
for the Drane-kooler to be properly supported and not secured
entirely by piping .
