Do evaporative hot water pumps come with automatic start functionality?
Thread Content
Does the hot water evaporation pump (used to supply graywater to the high flash point system) have an automatic start function? What is the effectiveness of this automatic start feature, and does it succeed every time? (In other words, after starting automatically, can it replace the pump that stops operating, without causing any impact on the system?)
Yes, if the interlock settings are correct it can be started; those without automatic startup usually have three water inlet lines, while those with automatic startup generally have two water inlet lines. It is safer to enable auto-start; without it, the backup pump on site may take some time to start up.
Can it start up successfully? Since it started on its own, I didn’t check it; there’s air inside, so it needs to have the air removed before it can be started again.
The name given to it should be different; we are high-pressure ash water pumps, and these are all set to start automatically, allowing for self-starting as well
Ensure proper venting when preparing a backup pump
