Standard Submersible Constant Pressure System
The above drawing illustrates how a typical submersible pump system should be arranged for a
constant pressure application.
1.
Pump and Franklin Electric Motor.
Refer to the Franklin Electric AIM Manual for pump, pipe,
and cable sizing information.
2.
Check Valve
3.
Pressure Relief Valve:
Pressure relief valve must be able to pass full pump flow at 100 PSI.
4.
Pressure Tank:
Refer to
“Minimum Pressure Tank and Supply Pipe Sizing” on page
5.
Pressure Gauge
6.
Pressure Sensor or Transducer:
Install in a vertical position.
7.
SubDrive Utility VFD
8.
Power Supply from Circuit Breaker.
Single phase, 115/230 VAC +/- 10%.
9.
Power to Motor:
Single phase.
A tank tee is recommended for mounting the tank, pressure sensor, pressure gauge, and pressure
relief valve. If a tank tee is not used, the pressure transducer or pressure sensor should be within 6
feet (1.8 meters) of the pressure tank to minimize pressure fluctuations. There should be no elbows
between the tank and pressure transducer or pressure sensor.
Risk of bodily injury or property damage.
•
Pumps can develop very high pressure in some situations. Always install a pressure relief
valve able to pass full pump flow at 100 psi.
•
Install the pressure relief valve near the pressure tank and route to a drain capable of full sys-
tem flow.
