DESCRIPTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
A-TWPS Flat Rack and Fabric Wall
The A-TWPS flat rack (see Figure 6) has two panels in front that are opened during deployment. When
opened, the top panel serves as a roof / overhang (1) and the bottom panel serves as a floor (2). Two
panels at both ends of the flat rack (3 through 6) and three panels at the back (7 through 9) are
removable for access or ventilation. Hinged doors in three of the panels allow easy access for connecting
power cables (10) or for operating valves (11, 12). A shipping cover with hook and loop material (13) is
secured over the opening below the product water access door (11) to keep the elements out during
storage. A return air cover plate (14) in one of the left end panels can be removed when needed during
cold weather so that a cold air return duct in the heating system can be hooked up to the panel. Folding
steps (15) are incorporated in the back panel closest to the TQG area for access to the top of the flat
rack. Two rollers (16) are stored at the TQG end of the flat rack near a bail bar (17). The rollers are
installed at the opposite end of the flat rack when loading the flat rack onto an MTVR trailer. The bail bar
is used to lift and pull the flat rack onto an MTVR.
The A-TWPS is equipped with a single piece, waterproof, fabric wall (18) that can be installed around the
front of the open TWPS to shield the operator and the equipment from the weather. Straps and hook and
loop material are used to secure the fabric wall to the opened top and floor panels of the flat rack. A
zippered and hook and loop door (19) is provided at the front of the fabric wall for easy access. Sleeves
with a Hook and looped seam and a cinch cord are incorporated to provide access for connecting a hot
air duct (20) and inlet (21) and discharge (22) hoses to the TWPS.
