Float valves can be used to prevent overfilling or overflow of tanks when the liquid needs to be diverted rather than dumped in a drain. Suitable valves can be mounted on the base of the tank with the outlet piped through the tank wall. The valve communicates with the float arrangement by suitable links.
If the discharge from the Float Valve is to atmosphere, an outlet shutoff valve may not be required. Place the valve assembly in the line with flow through the valve in the direction of flow arrows or by the inlet nameplate. Check all fittings and hardware for proper makeup and that no apparent damage is evident.
Depending on the needs of the application, float switches and valves can be mounted different ways. These switches and valves can be mounted on the top, bottom, or side of the container holding the substance to be measured.
On a single-evaporator flooded system, a float valve can be fitted which will pass any drained liquid from the condenser direct to the evaporator. The action is the same as that of a steam trap. The float chamber is at condenser pressure and the control is termed a high-pressure float (Fig. 8.9). Figure 8.9. High-pressure float valve circuit.
n as one connec-tion breaks (figure 9.21, left). Therefore, an alternate main grounding cable could be laid in parallel on the floats, with each PV module’s grounding cable then tacked onto this main cable (figure 9.21, right) Thus, each of the module frames is ind
The balanced float valve does not have two valves, but one valve and a balance piston. The balance piston has the same area as the valve but is loaded in the opposite direction by the same inlet pressure. The operating torque is reduced significantly although a little friction is introduced by the balance piston seal.

Ball valves
One of the methods used to control the flow of water into water cisterns and tanks is the use of ball (aka float) valves. Put simply, a float on the water inside a cistern or tank is attached to an arm which operates a valve which controls the inflow of water . As the water level in the tank drops, the arm falls and opens the valve to allow water to enter the tank. Then. as the water …

The Parts of an Evaporative Cooler (Swamp Cooler)
Motor . Evaporative cooler motors are relatively small in size, usually ranging from 1/3 to 1 horsepower. Most operate on 115/120 volts of power, which is the reason they use relatively little electricity when compared to 240-volt central air conditioning systems.The motors on evaporative coolers usually work fine until they don''t—they don''t gradually decline.
