Water System<br />

The water system <strong>of</strong> automated processors has two functions - to wash the<br />

films and to help stabilize the temperature <strong>of</strong> the processing solutions. Hot<br />

and cold water are blended to the proper temperature and the tempered<br />

water then passes through a flow regulator which provides a constant rate <strong>of</strong><br />

flow. Depending upon the processor, part or all <strong>of</strong> the water is used to help<br />

control the temperature <strong>of</strong> the developer. In some processors, the water also<br />

helps to regulate the temperature <strong>of</strong> the fixer. The water then passes to the<br />

wash tank where it flows through and over the wash rack. It then flows over a<br />

weir (dam) at the top <strong>of</strong> the tank and into the drain. Sometimes the<br />

temperature <strong>of</strong> the cold water supply may be higher than required by the<br />

processor. In this situation, it is necessary to cool the water before piping it to<br />

the processor. This is the basic pattern <strong>of</strong> the water system <strong>of</strong> automated<br />

processors; the details <strong>of</strong> the system may vary slightly, however.<br />
