Cross-line at the outlets of the main and standby pumps in the cooling water station
Thread Content
As shown in the figure, this is a cooling water station for a reciprocating compressor. A bypass line is installed at the outlets of the main and standby pumps, along with flow-limiting orifice plates. May I ask everyone **what the function of this setup is?
This works fine; it can be used to feed a backup pump as well as to prevent freezing
I have also considered using a heat pump, but since the operating temperature of this water softening pump is only around 40 degrees, is there really a need for a heat pump?

The tank pump should not use this line; the standby pump should start automatically, with the inlet and outlet valves open. The pipeline of the standby pump is always at full capacity, and this line is used to prevent freezing and condensation.
