Installation manual

As a result of the TWT fluid conditioning, these deposits will be softer and
more easily removed when treated by the TWT deposit control system. In
most cases the heating system process and self cleaning ability will wash
away any potential build up, al l owing for a significant reduction in mainte-
nance procedures.
If a heating system can be operated without boiling/flashing on the surface of
the heating element, a significant reduction in deposits will be obtained. As
the fluid temperature is lowered from boiling, the ability of the TWT- treated
water to hold the deposits in solution increases.TWT
r e c o mmends
that a reaction chamber and/or onsite wrap be located
upstream of
(before) any heating system, and where possible downstream (after) the
heating system, to further ensure the ability of the fluid to retain the deposits
in solution.
When fluid is heavily saturated with deposits (TDS, grain count, change
in concentration/fluid condition), the ability of the TWT Deposit Control
System to treat fluids and hold deposits in solution is decreased but not
eliminated. The ability of the TWT Deposit Control Treatment System effec-
tiveness decreases proportionately with the increase in TDS. i.e., grain
count, change in concentra t i o n s, eva p o ration and/or other fluid ex p o s u r e s as
referred in the above“reaction Zones”. That is why you must examine the
water (f l u i d) to be treated and all of the obvious influences surrounding it to
ensure proper installation & application. Under these conditions TWT recom-
mends that you upsize (increase the oscillating electrical field) the Deposit
Control System to meet and ensure the highest level of performance for these
conditions.

TWT Deposit Control Installation & Configuration Guide
TWT Deposit Control Installation for Fluid-Fed Equipment - Determining
Points of Treatment and Optimum Treatment Configurations for
Commercial and Industrial Facilities and Systems
A complete TWT treatment system may use all or only some of the compo-
nents of a comprehensive water treatment plan, including deposit control,
filtration, purification, and disinfection. This configuration guide deals with
factors to consider when selecting TWT deposit control models for use in
a commercial or industrial environment.
Site conditions may indicate that a combination of deposit control products of
va rying sizes and models is most appropriate for an optimal installation.
Among the factors to consider are water chemistry (hardness/grain count)
process, “reaction zones”, and pipe layout.
We have established that certain configurations are preferred for certain
uses, and that if correctly installed in these configurations, the TWT Deposit
Control Systems will deliver even greater performance than may have been
previously experienced, providing the best end-to-end fluid management
and treatment solutions available.
The ability of the Triangular Wave Technologies Deposit Control Systems
to inhibit scale and biofilm deposits and to remove preexisting deposits is
dependent upon the proper application and installation of the products
purchased from TWT Inc. Water chemistry must be taken into consideration.
Eve ry application has areas called reaction zones.These areas represent
locations in a system where the fluid is exposed to different types of
changes that affect its behavior.
Mechanical: change in pressure, velocity, direction, flow patter (pumps,
aerators, agitators, etc.)
Thermodynamic: changes in temperature (heat exchangers, evaporators,
boilers, spray nozzles, etc.)
Physicochemical: change in concentration, state (membra n e s , cooling
t owe r s, filters, main/m a k eup water inlets, etc.)
It is in the reaction zones where the particles in the fluid, due to the
changes to which they are exposed, are more likely to form scale or biofoul-
ing.There are many systems, which, due to their nature, will have multiple
reaction zones. In general, it is the reaction zone(s) where the TWT Deposit
Control treatment should be focused. In these cases, the size and condi-
tions of the system will play an important role in determining the need for
one or multiple units, likely of varying sizes/models. (based on pipe size and
material )
Our suggested considerations for optimal installation of the
TWT Deposit Control System:
The Deposit Control System will provide the means to keep deposits
(calcium, lime, etc.) in solution for extended peri o d s, if not disturbed.
The ability of the fluid to retain the deposits in solution is decreased (but not
eliminated) by fluid disturbances (e.g., pressure changes) high temperature
conditions (flashing, boiling, etc.) and changes in concentration
(fluid conditions).
In Automatic Fill Systems, a Fill Solenoid Valve/Float Valve will be used t o
control the fluid level in the fill system. Where a large pressure change
takes place immediately downstream of the valve, TWT recommends that
the Reaction Chamber and/ or the on-site wrap be located downstream from
the valve to avoid this pressure change point.When water boils and/or is
eva p o rated, the calcium and other dissolved solids remain and fo rm deposits.
WHEN THE TWT SYSTEMS ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED, THE Effects of
the Patented Triangular Wave Technology Treatment Last Downstream
TWT Factory Wrapped Reaction Chamber
The Triangular Wave Deposit Control System creates an electromagnetic
field which is used to address the fluids in the pipe. Do not install the wire
coil on any magnetic pipe, such as STEEL, GA LVANIZED STEEL, I RO N ,
DUCTILE IRON OR CAST IRO N . When the coil is applied to a magnetic
m a t e r ial, the pipe then becomes a shield, and prevents the energy from
entering the fluid path. If the fluid pipe is magnetic, it is necessary to insert a
section of non-magnetic pipe to provide the proper pipe material for the
unit to wo rk as designed (Please see Reaction Chamber back page).
Teflon Coated Wire
For high temperature (hot water) applications of 176˚F and above,
request and use teflon wire.Teflon wire solenoid wrap sizes vary
according to pipe material and pipe size, please contact your dealer
for additional information.
