Overflow Tube Connection: Flow Capacity 15-60 L/min

Component Specifications

Definition

The overflow tube connection is a critical fluid management component in industrial coolant systems, designed to create a sealed interface between the reservoir's overflow outlet and external drainage piping. It ensures controlled discharge of excess coolant when reservoir levels exceed operational capacity, maintaining system pressure balance and preventing spillage. Engineered with specific dimensional tolerances and material compatibility for corrosive coolant environments.

Working Principle

Operates on gravity-driven fluid dynamics and pressure equalization. When coolant level rises above the designated maximum fill line, hydrostatic pressure forces fluid through the connection into the overflow tube. The connection maintains a continuous sealed pathway while allowing unimpeded flow, with design features preventing backflow and ensuring proper drainage orientation.

Materials

Stainless steel 316L (corrosion-resistant), PTFE-lined brass, or engineered polymers (PP, PVDF) depending on coolant chemical composition. Temperature rating: -40°C to 120°C. Pressure rating: 0-2 bar.
