Shouldn't there be a check valve somewhere in the line to keep all the water from draining back to the tower sump when the pump shuts down? (Or if there is one, it's failed.) The scenario I see here is, pump shuts down, water flows back to tower, tower overflows, some genius at the facility sees the over flow and adjusts the float trying to stop the overflow. Side note: I did a lot of work on BacNet for Trane. Mainly at hospitals and other medical facilities. At one facility I had to, under Trane's direction, do an initial startup of a very large RTU. The one thing that was a real pucker factor was adjusting the blower drives, with the warning that if I overspeed the supply side I could literally explode the ductwork. 😮 And at the last one I did (with water chillers) we had to literally field rewire an air handler where supply and return sides were decoupled from inline to side by side (someone screwed up on the basement plans.) That was a nighmare to fix.
Nice....always fun when people just start pushing buttons without either the knowledge or leaving a note. Does those tower(s) have a bypass? That loop was air locked pretty good.
Retired computer person. I enjoyed watching your video. I'll be doing a search for other chiller videos. I just enjoy learning new stuff.
@@NathanZSolomon That’s awesome, Thanks for watching!
Keep them coming bro good job.
Definitely, Thanks HetyLefty

Yeah there’s a check valve and it is working, it’s just a funky piping setup .. all good for now as long as it stays in auto
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year 2025
Happy New Year, Thanks for Watching!

Everyday is entertaining here, there’s no bypass… it’s all good today
Nice
Thanks 👍
Seems like there's a boat load of missing water. Gotta love LARPers who just screw with settings
The funny part is the alarm happened when the site was unoccupied… running fine today 😀
