direct chiller water to tank better or to sump?

[tagie_tag]

can ppl give advise. which way?

{1}.chiller water to sump dan wit pump to tank better or

{2}.chiller water direct flow to tank better?

present situation on my system i use chiller to sump tank dan pump water to tank. but if i direct chiller water to tank tat will save a pump from it and electric bill oso so any comment ?

most chiller will have an optimum working flow rate which is usually a bit less than what we consider as optimum flow rate for return pump, so you probably wont be able to save a pump.

on the other hand, the chiller outlet water may be too chill to directly return to the display tank, therefore, commonly people will connect chiller outlet to the compartment where return pump is.

What I do is my chiller output returns to my main tank and I have another return pump also. I take it as having redundancy in case either of my pump fails, I will still have flow from my sump to my tank and the chances of my sump overflooding will be reduced.

+1 i using 2 return pumps too, 1 to feed chiller n back to main tank n the other direct to main tank. for sump overflowing, if u design ur return piping nicely, even if u off both pumps, the sump will not overflow....

+2 on that.. i do that too..

and the direct cold water that enters the tank.. sweet..

Agreed with bro m12345y. He's trying to say pump used on chiller can't produce such pressure to create wave in your main tank after going through all the coil in it so a return pump is a must. Somemore if not wrong chiller consume the most electric out of all the equipement so the rest shouldn't be much of the issue Liao.

thanks ppl for ur time and info.

i hope more comment will come in so we will learn from each other on different way

on their system. and effective way bside saving electric bill.

Tks for the info, hmm...i didn't think of that when one pump fails, the other can still circulate the water between tank and sump and also prevent flooding. Good one.

Hi All, not really get the clear picture here... anyone can show with photo or draw pls? thanks a lot..
