Hydrolevel VXTC Water Feeder
The Hydrolevel VXTC Water Feeder (Part Number 45-125) is a heavy-duty, 120Vac solution engineered for commercial steam boiler applications where precise monitoring and reliable make-up water delivery are non-negotiable. This complete kit features a high-flow 3/4" solenoid valve, a Y-strainer to protect internal components from system debris, and a 10 GPM flow restrictor to ensure managed water intake. Integrating the WM-1 bronze water meter, the VXTC provides contractors with an accurate, non-resettable readout of total water consumption, which is critical for identifying stealthy system leaks and preventing the oxygen corrosion that stems from excessive fresh water introduction.
Designed for universal compatibility, the VXTC works seamlessly with major low water cut-offs (LWCO) and pump controllers, whether they are probe-type or float-operated. The programmable feed delay (adjustable from 0 to 10 minutes) allows sufficient time for condensate to return to the boiler, effectively eliminating short-cycling and prevent overfilling. For specialized process steam setups, the "No Delay" mode provides immediate response. The unit also features versatile feed amount settings, allowing the technician to satisfy the LWCO or add a calibrated volume above the sensor to maintain an optimal operating level. Safety is reinforced through lock-out flood protection, which shuts down the feeder after a sustained 10-minute cycle to prevent catastrophic water damage.
Key Benefits for Commercial Systems:
- Digital Diagnostics: The integrated LED display provides real-time status updates, including standby, delay, and lock-out modes.
- Rugged Metering: Includes a heavy-duty cast bronze water meter for tracking make-up water and diagnosing system integrity.
- Customizable Flow: Five programmable feed settings ranging from LWCO-only to LWCO plus 120 seconds for fine-tuned water levels.
- Debris Protection: The 3/4" Y-strainer prevents sediment from fouling the solenoid, ensuring long-term operational uptime.
- Underfeed Prevention: Intelligent microchip logic ensures the boiler reaches a safe level even if a single cycle is insufficient.
Common Questions & Technical Support:
Can the VXTC be used on process steam applications?
Yes, by selecting the "No Delay" setting, the feeder will provide immediate make-up water upon receiving a signal from the controller, which is ideal for systems with high steam demand and rapid level fluctuations.
What happens if the boiler level control fails?
The VXTC is equipped with a safety lockout feature. If the unit feeds continuously for 10 minutes without satisfying the LWCO, it enters a lockout state to prevent flooding the building and protecting the boiler sections from thermal shock.
How do I track water usage for maintenance?
The included WM-1 water meter is a mechanical, non-resettable totalizer. Technicians should record these readings during annual inspections to determine if the system’s water loss rate has increased, indicating a subterranean leak or failing steam traps.
