Remote sump connection

To protect sump water from freezing you can use an auxiliary remote sump within a heated space.

Using a remote sump

  • guarantees year-round reliable operation
  • helps improve system hygiene

Just follow some simple guidelines when selecting your remote sump tank for a VXI closed circuit cooling tower. The following data will help you calculate the cooler volume, the system piping volume and the system component volume.

Notes:

  1. The overflow level is the spray water volume and based on the maximum operating water level in the cold water basin with no net drop leg included in the piping system below the unit outlet.
  2. All remote sump unit volumes are based on bottom outlets sized as noted, except those models with an asterisk (*), which are based on an end outlet sized as noted.
  3. Outlet size is for remote sump applications only. For location of drain connection, please refer to unit certified print or contact your local BAC representative.
