How to inflate the oil pump solar container tank

How do you fill a solar pump?

Turn the isolation valve horizontal for filling; both port valves should be closed. When ready, start the solar pump manually via the controller maintenance switch (no flow yet as valves closed). Open both fill & drain port valves together, glycol should pump up into the loop and water drain out.

How does a storage tank pump work?

Under the action of the pump, the goods are pumped from the bottom storage tank into the container tank through the manhole/top loading and unloading port, or the closed system pumps the goods into the container tank from the top valve/bottom valve. The gas is returned to the storage tank through the air line.

How does a heat transfer fluid pump work?

Heat transfer fluid pump (HTF) pumps circulate thermal oil through the parabolic troughs to heat it up and pump it to the solar steam generator. The main characteristics of the HTF pumps are their high temperature and their double sealing system. Depending on the plant size, HTF pumps can be either double or end suction type.

How do you inflate an air tank?

Take your air tank to an air compressor. Full-service gas stations or truck stops are the most common locations that have air compressors. You can use the same pump motorists use to inflate the tires on their vehicles. Inspect your air tank for damage before filling it, and get a new one if you see any cracks or rust.

How do you connect a solar panel to a pump?

Make connection of pump power cable to AC isolator and drive unit if fitted. Follow instructions supplied with drive unit for correct wiring for particular unit. Ensure DC isolator is in the off position, Plug the solar panel output cables together following the supplied instructions and then connect to isolator.

How does a storage tank work?

Under the action of gravity, the cargo flows freely from the high storage tank to the container tank through the manhole/top loading and unloading opening (see Figure 1). Or the closed system is loaded from the top valve/bottom valve, and the gas in the tank is returned to the storage tank through the air line (see Figure 2).
