Hi, guys
I went to look at a chiller and I found chilled water storage 1155411553115551155611557tank that was leaking water thru overflow pipe and need ideas as to what could be the issue. Customer already change the makeup water solenoid valve thinking it was leaking-by but that wasn't the problem. I looked inside water tank and the water is above the the overflow pipe. The makeup water solenoid is de-energize and completely shut off and no water leaking-by. Is there a better way to install the water level switch? Is there another method of controlling water level? Could the tank be too small and make up water comes in when water level decreases as chilled water is being used for process cooling, then when individual tank temperatures are satisfied water is return back to storage tank and it makes water level overflow?
