Product Overview
Condensate Return Pumps Used (W4100 series - carbon steel receivers) for returning condensate from the facility back to the boiler room. In Condensate Return applications, the operation of the pump is controlled by a Float Switch located on the receiver tank. The pump turns on when the receiver tank is full and shuts off when emptied. Duplex units contain a Mechanical Alternator float switch to alternate operation between the two pumps.

SIMPLEX - Float Switch is used to activate the pump.
DUPLEX - Mechanical Alternator (used in place of the Float Switch found on Simplex units) is used to cycle operation between the 2 pumps.
Features
• Fabricated steel receivers (W4100), Cast Iron (W4200), Stainless Steel (W4300)
• Simplex and duplex packages
• Bronze-fitted centrifugal pumps
• Energy-efficient 3450 RPM motors
• Automatic venting of mechanical seal
• Ceramic pump seal with carbon face
• Heavy-duty float switch
• All steel and iron receivers over 24 gallons include a threaded NPT overflow port
How It Works
The float, which is connected to the switch assembly, rises when condensate enters the receiver tank. When the float rises above its set point, it energizes the motor on the pump. Once started, the pump will continue to run until the water level drops below the bottom position of the float switch.There it will de-energize the motor to shut off the pump. This cycle repeats as condensate begins to fill the receiver tank. On duplex systems the float switch is replaced with a Mechanical Alternator-Switch connected to a float. The Mechanical Alternator cycles use between the two pumps, allowing only one pump to run at a time under normal conditions. If the condensate reaches a high water level, both pumps will be activated.
Selection / Sizing / Capacities
• A Condensate Return Pump contains an automatic float switch in the receiver tank to activate the pump when the tank is filled and deactivate when empty.
• On Duplex units, the standard float switch is replaced with a Mechanical Alternator float switch to alternate operation between the two pumps. Must be ordered separately. An Electric Alternator is also an option.
• The capacity of the condensate return pump in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) is based on the amount of Effective Direct Radiation (EDR) in sq ft. of heating surface in the facility that the pump is expected to handle.

For Example: an EDR of 2000 sq. ft. can condense up to 500 lbs/hr of steam which translates to 1.0 GPM of condensate flow. Using a 3:1 safety factor would require a 3.0 GPM Condensate Return pump. The properly sized receiver tank that is adequate for that pump capacity is shown in the model selection chart for Condensate Return units. Larger receiver sizes are always desireable in order to cool condensate.

• Select a discharge pressure for the pump to overcome all system back pressures including frictional piping losses. Pump discharge pressures of 20-50 PSI are available. Selecting a pump with a significantly higher discharge pressure than required can cause pump to cavitate.
