Water Pumping And Heat Transfer System - Prochem EVEREST 650 Operating Instructions Manual

Water Pumping And Heat Transfer System

Cold water enters the console through the water inlet.
When the water box is full the valve will automatically
shut off.
Water then flows from the water box, through the
strainer, into the solution pump. The water is pumped to
the pressure regulator manifold, which provides and
maintains the desired pressure setting.
A certain amount of water is by-passed from the
pressure regulator due to over pumping capacity of the
solution pump. Water that is not called for in the
cleaning process is channeled through a copper heater
core in the front of the heat exchanger box. This bypass
water circulates several times through the heater core,
pre-warming the water.
The next stage of heating and water flow is to the
helicoil, when water is called for in the cleaning process
it flows to the helicoil under pressure. Heat from the
engine coolant is exchanged to the cleaning water
through a series of coiled copper tubing. This allows the
engine coolant to travel in a counter rotating direction to
the cleaning water during the exchange process
creating a very efficient transfer of heat out of the
engine and into the cleaning water.

The third stage of plumbing and heat exchange takes
place in the 2nd and 3rd heater cores located in the
heat exchanger box. This is the hottest point of the
gases coming from the vac pump and the engine
exhaust. These hot gases are forced through the
heater cores creating the third stage of heat transfer to
the cleaning water.
Finally, the hot cleaning water passes to the solution
outlet manifold where cleaning chemicals are injected
from the chemical pulse pump. This manifold serves as
a temperature sensing point and a connecting point for
the solution hoses. Also a check valve is located in this
outlet manifold prohibiting chemicals from backing up
into the system.
The cleaning solution then passes through high
pressure solution hoses and is distributed by the
cleaning tool to a surface that is being cleaned,
completing the water pumping and heating cycle of the
cleaning unit.
In the optional high-pressure model, water is routed
directly to the high-pressure outlet through the
regulator when the solution pressure lever is in the up
position.
