Page 3: Overview Of Fan Tech High-Pressure Misting System
High‐Pressure Misting System Technical Manual Fan Technologies Inc. Overview of Fan Tech High‐Pressure Misting System Thank you for choosing Fan Tech as your provider for high‐pressure misting systems. Fan Tech is devoted to providing its customers with reliable high‐pressure cooling systems engineered with quality components to meet their cooling needs. Fan Tech’s high‐pressure misting system provides superior cooling by combining small orifice misting nozzles with a high pressure pump to create a very fine mist or fog. This fine mist will quickly evaporate reducing the temperature of the ambient air. Fan Tech pairs the misting system with durable fans to reduce the temperature in the desired location. Start‐up and Operation Procedures High‐pressure misting systems require both electrical and water to function properly. Electrical connections are needed to provide power to the pump motor and the fan motor. Use the proper electrical source to ensure the system will operate correctly. Contact a certified electrician to verify the proper installation if necessary. The water should be supplied to the tank through the garden hose connection on the back of the unit. 1. Connect the water supply to the 3/4” female garden hose adapter on the back of the unit. The water supply should meet the following conditions: Flow rate of 1GPM or more Water less than 7.5 pH Pressure between 15‐75 PSI Dissolved solid content less than 500 PPM Possible damage from improper water supply includes: Clogged misting nozzles or filters due to solids in water. Black or galvanized steel pipe fittings; only use hose and pipe fittings compatible with water to prevent corrosion. Pump damage may occur due to fluctuations in the water supply, cogged nozzle, or closed off discharge side of pump. Never attempt to operate the pump with no water supply connected. 2. Connect the proper power supply. The FTC‐P‐18‐5 system is equipped with a 15amp 110v plug. The amp requirements are located on the motor plates of both the pump motor and fan motor. Do not use ... - Page 4 High‐Pressure Misting System Technical Manual Fan Technologies Inc. 3. Initial operation and start up of the system. Turn on the water supply and allow the tank to begin to fill up. The unit may be operated with the water supply connected or disconnected. If operating with the water supply disconnected, wait for the tank to fill up and then turn off the water supply and disconnect the garden hose. The user can identify when the tank is full by using the clear sight tube. If operating with the water supply connected, simply leave the water supply on. Once the tank is full a valve will automatically shut off the water supply preventing the tank from overflowing. The valve will also open when the tank requires more water. Press the “ON” button on the back of the unit to activate the pump. If the “Warning” light is on press “OFF” to see if it disappears. If the light persists please see the troubleshooting section. After pressing “ON” wait for 15‐20 seconds for the motor and pump to activate, the delay is because the water must enter the system. If after 20 seconds the system does not work, turn off the pump. Running the pump without a water supply will destroy the pump. If air is trapped in the system it may be necessary to open the evacuation valve when turning the system “ON”, see appendix for ball valve location. See the troubleshooting section if the system fails to operate. The mist should form a cone shape when exiting the nozzle. If the cone is not even, or if the nozzle appears to be leaking, see the troubleshooting section. CAUTION Do not increase the system pressure above 1000 PSI. Damage to internal components may occur. 4. Turning on the Fan. Connect the fan to a proper power source. To begin the operation of the fan, turn the knob on the fan to your desired speed. Fans have three different speeds and an oscillator that may be switched ON or OFF. Fan speed may also be controlled by the knob on the back near the tank. Place the fan in the desired location and lock the wheels in place to prevent the fan from moving during operation. WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Serious injury or death is possible Only connect the power supply plug to a properly grounded receptacle. PINCH HAZZARD: Do not operate fans without gaurds in place. Do not insert anything into fan guard while the fan is operation. 5. Turning off the system. Shut off the fan by the knob to the “OFF” position. Turn off the pump by pressing the “OFF” button on the back of the unit. The nozzles should stop emitting the mist ...

Page 5: Maintenance
High‐Pressure Misting System Technical Manual Fan Technologies Inc. Maintenance 1. Nozzles. Nozzles should be checked regularly to ensure the best misting performance. The mist or fog should emit from the nozzle in an even cone shape. If the mist is not an even cone shape the nozzle needs to be cleaned or replaced. To clean a nozzle, first remove it from the misting ring. Disassemble the nozzle and soak the nozzle tip and impeller in ZEP, CLR, or vinegar. Do not soak the spring or the body of the nozzle. After soaking, rinse with water and reattach to the misting ring, do not use tools. The nozzles should function properly when screwed in by hand. 2. Pump. The pump requires an initial oil change after 50 hours of service, and additional oil changes every 3 months or 500 hours. Use 8.5 oz of ISO68 hydraulic oil. When changing the oil disconnect the electricity to the system. Do not run the pump without oil in the crankcase. Check the seals and valves for wear after 1000 hours. Check immediately if the systems performance decreases. 3. Filters. The filters should be checked frequently and replaced if needed. The filter life depends on the water source. If the filter is dirty replace immediately because it is restricting water flow to the pump and may damage the system. To check the filter, simply unscrew the housing from the top bracket. When replacing the filter it is also good practice to clean the housing with bleach. Use a few tablespoons of bleach mixed with water and scrub the inside of the housing. Make sure the o‐ring is in place when reattaching the housing to the bracket, then hand tighten and check for leaks. 4. Storage. When storing the system for more than a few days or transporting the system, it is important to drain the water. Draining the water prevents calcification problems or the formation of algae. Drain the system by opening the evacuation valve and relieving the pressure in the system. It may be necessary to tilt the system to drain all the water. Also drain the filter housing to preserve the filter. Store the unit in a dry location with ambient temperature. Avoid areas that are subject to excessive heat, dust, humidity, freezing, or damage from nearby equipment. If freezing conditions are possible flush your pump with a 50/50 solution of anti‐freeze/water. Also drain any supply hoses. For initial operation after a long duration of non‐use it is necessary to flush the system of particles. Remove the nozzles from the nozzle rings and place the system in a water safe environment. Power up the system and allow water to flow through the nozzle openings for a few seconds. After flushing the system, reattach the nozzles and tightening by hand. 7 ... -
