" Recirculating Evaporative Cooling General General Support Information The Turbo-Cool '' Recirculating Evaporative Cooling System is designed to help cool livestock and poultry houses. The system is shipped unassembled. Using this equipment for any other purpose or in a way not within the operating recommendations specified in this manual will void the warranty and may cause personal injury. This manual is designed to provide installation, operation, and parts listing information. The Table of Contents provides a convenient overview of the information in this manual. The Table of Contents also specifies which pages contain information for the sales personnel, installer, and consumer (end user). Safety Information DANGER: Electrical Hazard Ground all electrical equipment for safety. All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and national electric codes. Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or servicing equipment unless maintenance instructions specifically state otherwise.

" Recirculating Evaporative Cooling Planning Information Planning Information System Layout: The Sump Assembly may be installed at either end of the system or in the middle. Maximum Length - 70' MV-00 Maximum length = 70 Figure. Optional Sump locations The maximum length of Cooling Pad on either side of the Sump Assembly is 70', if the cooling system is longer than 70' the sump must be installed in the middle of the system. The maximum amount of slope is -/"[8 mm] per system. The Sump must be level with, or lower than the rest of the trough. 7
Framing Information " Recirculating Evaporative Cooling Framing Information Figure shows two options for installing the cooling pad relative to the tunnel curtain and provides information for the Evaporative Cooling System opening with Sump on either end. See Figure for opening information for Evaporative Cooling System with Sump in the middle It is recommended to frame the Pad opening using treated lumber.. Determine the location of the bottom stringer. (See Figure, Item ) Use Wood or Lag Screws with Washers to secure the bottom Stringer to the Studs at a minimum of every ". The Lower Stringer must be capable of supporting 0 lbs/ft [ kg/m] plus lbs/ft [ kg/m] for each foot of Cooling Pad Height. Example: A ' Cooling Pad requires a Stringer capable of supporting 0 lbs/ ft + ( lbs/ft x ') = 8 lbs/ft.. Determine the location of the top stringer. See Figure, Item 8. The distance between the top and bottom stringers should be approximately -/'' [8 mm] less than the height of the Evaporative Cooling Pads. Note: Example: For a 0'' [ mm] tall Evaporative Cooling Pad the distance between the stringers would be 0'' [ mm] - -/'' [8 mm] = 8-/ '' [8 mm]. The slope (if any) of the top stringer must be the same as the bottom stringer.. Snap a chalk line on the lower stringer -/" below the top edge ( Figure, Item 9). This chalk line will determine the location of the lag screws for the Bottom Stand-Off Brackets.. Snap a chalk line on the top stringer at the locations specified in Figure, Item. This chalk line will determine the location of the Top Cover Mounting holes.. A short section of x lumber (Figure, Item 0) is required beneath the bottom stringer at the sump end to provide a back support for the sump assembly. 8

Open the valve in the pump discharge pipe.. Flush dirt and debris out of the Distribution Pipe by running the Pump with the -/" Pipe Plug removed from the end of the Distribution Pipe. Replace the -/"' Pipe Plug.. With the Sump Pump running, adjust the -/" Ball Valve so the height of the water jets is " to " [0 mm to mm] above the top of the Distribution Pipe. 7. If bleed-off is to be used, Adjust the Bleed Off Valve to a flow rate of 0. gpm per 00 sq ft. of Evaporative Cooling Pad. The correct amount of bleed-off depends on the amount of minerals and chemicals in the water. The bleed off rate can be adjusted over time, but should be maintained high enough to prevent mineral deposits from accumulating on the face of the Evaporative Cooling Pad. 9
System Operation & Maintenance " Recirculating Evaporative Cooling System Operation & Maintenance. Reduce the mineral and chemical build-up in water by; a). Bleeding water off the system. Begin by adjusting the Bleed-Off Valve to drain. gpm/00 sq ft. of Cooling Pad while the Pump is running. Increase the bleed-off rate if minerals build up on the face of the Cooling Pad b). Draining all the water from the system once a week during operating season. Increase the frequency if minerals build up on the face of the Cooling Pad.. Shade the pads as much as possible to minimize algae growth.. Allow the pads to dry out completely once every hours to kill algae.. Reduce the number of times the pad is wetted and dried out each day to maximize pad life.. Clean the strainer regularly to maintain a sufficient supply of water to the pads.. Periodically check the jets of water from the top of the Distribution Pipe. The jets should spray approximately " to " [0 mm to mm] straight upward. 7. Keep the Distribution Pipe holes free of debris. Use a /" drill bit to clean plugged holes. Clogged holes may cause dry streaks and lead to clogging of the pad. 8. Every three months, the entire water system should be drained, disinfected and flushed to help prevent algae growth. 9. Regularly flush the Distribution Pipe by removing the.'' plug at the end of the sediment trap (See Item, Figure 9) and allowing the pump to run. 0. Periodically, gently hose and brush deposits from the face of the pads.. Completely drain the system for winter storage. Remove the Sump Drain Plug. Remove the Pump.. Avoid contaminants such as dust, fertilizers, and harsh cleaners.. The ph of the water being circulated through the system should be maintained at between and 9 to prevent premature pad softening.. Check that Cooling Pads are installed correctly (See Figure and ). Periodically check and clean the Screen on the inlet of the Water Float Valve. If the Water Float Valve fails to shut off the flow of water, disassemble and clean the valve. Check that the holes in the center of the Valve Diaphragm and Housiing are not plugged with debris. 0
