B. START-UP
Before starting the pump and running water through the tower, inspect the basin of the tower and remove
any debris, which may have accumulated during installation.
B.1. FILLING SYSTEM WITH WATER
A. Open make-up valve(s) and allow basin(s) and piping to ll to the tower overow level. REYMSA’s Closed
Circuit Fluid Coolers are previously marked with the operation level on the basin, as a reference you could
use Table B-1.
B. Assure the pump is completely lled with water by manually lling the basin to the overow.
C. Install a pressure gauge (supplied by others) in the discharge (OUTLET) line to monitor the pump
performance, wide uctuation could indicate cavitations or vapor air locked.
Table B-1: Operation and Start-up basin level
B.2. CONTROLLING WATER LEVEL
REYMSA Cooling Towers utilize a mechanical oat valve as
standard (see Figure B-1 or refer to APPENDIX D: “WATER
MAKE-UP FLOAT VALVE” for more information); an electric
valve for automatic ow control is available as optional.
Use the following instructions to adjust the make-up water
mechanical oat valve on the basin section of the tower to
produce the highest water level without overowing the tower.
A. Close water make-up valve(s).
B. Remove the access door to reach the area where oat
valve(s) are located.
C. Threaded the bronze valve and nipple into the PVC
connector and place the oat arm with copper ball, using
the bolt.
D. Adjust the water level approximately 1” below the overow level, then tight the bolt.
E. Restore water supply and verify that the water level is at the desired operating level.
F. Close the access door.
