Generator cooling tower tank?
I have put together a diesel generator set, can be seen at:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jeffgnu/my_photos I am wanting to convert the hopper cooling system to a thermo cooling tower. The principle of operation of thermo cooling can be seen he http://www.chilipepperapp.com/tscs.htm I have a few questions on the construction of this tank and want to run it by the group. The genset will have a 195F thermostat installed, the cooling tank will be a closed system. I plan on using a 2" black pipe with screw cap as a filler neck in the top of the tank. This cap will be only hand tight. Would I need to install a pressure relief value of sorts to prevent an accident? Could a radiator cap be used instead of a pressure relief valve? Do they make a filler neck flange to mount to the top of the tank? -- A7N8X-Deluxe, AMD XP2500+ (Un-locked) 2x256mb Crucial PC3200 DDR ram Palit-Daytona Ti4200/64M AGP |
