APPARATUS AND RELATED METHODS FOR WET SAWING

摘要

A wet saw system and related methods of use for supplying a cooling water stream in construction locations. The wet saw system includes a water supply system for supplying the cooling water stream when ambient temperatures are at, below or approaching freezing conditions. The water supply system includes a unitary housing defining storage and electrical compartments. The storage compartment defines a water storage tank that includes a storage inlet, a storage outlet and a heater assembly. The electrical compartment encloses a control assembly, a pumping assembly and a power supply. The pumping assembly is fluidly connected to the at least one storage outlet and supplies a pressurized water stream to a system outlet that is externally accessible on the unitary housing. In the absence of available power sources, the power supply can power the heater assembly so as to be off-line with respect to external utilities.

主权项

1. A water supply system for a wet saw operation, comprising:
a unitary tank defining a water storage tank and an electrical compartment, the electrical compartment including an on-board power supply, a control assembly and a pump assembly, wherein the on-board power supply supplies power to operate the pump assembly at the direction of the control assembly, the pump assembly pumping cooling water from within the water storage tank to a point of use, and wherein a heating element is submerged in cooling water within the water storage tank, the heating element being operated at the direction of the control assembly.
