COOLING WATER RECIRCULATION SYSTEM

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Fusion Water Recirculating System is designed for use with brazing and soldering machines, offering easy retrofitting to existing machines or as an option for new equipment. It features a closed-loop system with a 100-gallon capacity, divided into two 50-gallon polypropylene tanks.

System Description: The system operates with an electric pump that circulates water from the first tank through the brazing machine, cooling the parts. Wastewater drains into the second tank, where sediment settles before the cycle repeats. A water replenishment feature compensates for evaporation.

Water Usage and Maintenance: The system minimizes water usage, with potential savings given that typical brazing machines use 50 to 65 gallons per hour. The frequency of draining the tanks depends on various factors, including the materials used, paste constituents, machine operation hours, and local environmental regulations. A general guideline suggests changing the water once per day.

It can be easily retrofitted onto any existing machine or included as an option on new equipment. The closed loop system begins with an electric pump moving water from the first 50 gallon / 189 liter polypropylene tank. Water enters the brazing machine through the water inlet and onto the part to be cooled. Machine wastewater then drains back into a second 50 gallon / 189 liter tank and passes over a baffle to allow for sediment settling prior to repeating the cycle. The system incorporates a water replenishment feature to compensate for evaporation. Specifications Tank: Polypropylene with a temperature rating of 212°F / 100°C max. Electric: 208-230/460V/ 3PH / 60 / 50Hz Pump: 10 USGPM / 37 l/m capacity, ¾ HP motor, close coupled centrifugal, all bronze casing/impeller. Weight: 450 lbs. / 204 Kg (without water) Dimensions: See Reverse Side The water recirculation system is designed to minimize water usage. (An average brazing machine uses 50 to 65 gallons / 189 to 246 liters of water per hour, therefore, the savings in water can be significant.) The frequency of draining the tank is based on many factors, such as the base metals of the parts being joined, the constituents in the brazing/soldering paste, the amount of paste being used, the number of hours (shifts) the machine is run, and the degree of impurities the local environmental regulations allow to be deposited in the sewage system. Due to the wide variations in all of the factors, it is not possible to precisely state when the water should be changed, but as a “rule of thumb” the frequency should be once per day. The system is not represented as a treatment system.
