Item 2 is a 110-gallon receiver tank (83-gallon usable storage) with simplex feed capability serving one 101 HP boiler, including a single pump and control panel with motor starters and control circuit transformers, operating on three-phase 208V at 20 amps. Both tanks are horizontal-mounted on existing stands. Item 1 is positioned approximately 6 feet above its boiler and 20 feet horizontally; Item 2 is 6 feet above and 15 feet horizontally from its boiler. Both systems serve low-pressure steam applications with relief valves set at 15 PSIG or below. The boiler feed units will operate as standard on/off systems controlled by boiler level controls, not continuous operation. Pump discharge pressure for Item 1 must overcome 15 PSIG boiler pressure; Item 2 pumps must overcome 15 PSIG plus specified head requirements. No additional control panel is required for Item 1.
