1st Tank
2no: Hidrostal recycle pumps each with a KW rating of 1.8 kw (total 1.8 kw x 4 units = 7.2 kw).
Replaced with surface mounted air blowers. A total of 4 blowers required with an approximate kW rating of 1.5kw each
(1.5 x 4 = 6kw)
2nd Tank
2no: Hidrostal recycle pumps each with a KW rating of 1.8 kw (total 1.8 kw x 4 units = 7.2 kw).
Replaced with surface mounted air blowers. A total of 4 Blowers required with an approximate kW rating of 1.5kw each
(1.5 x 4 = 6kw)
The system operates 24 hours 365 days a year using approximately 14.8 kw. The modification of the system to operate via surface mounted air blowers reduced the kw usage to approximate 12 kw.
