Open Loop Well Water Systems

Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by
placing water control valves at the outlet of the unit. Use
a closed bladder type expansion tank to minimize mineral
deposits. Ensure proper water flow through the unit by
checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and
comparing it to the figures in the pressure drop table.
Normally, about 2 GPM flow rate per ton of cooling capacity
is needed in open loop systems, (1.5 GPM per ton minimum if
entering source temperature is above 50°F [10°C].
Some water control valves draw their power directly from
the unit's 24V transformer and can overload and possibly
burn out the transformer. Check total VA draw of the water
valve(s) and ensure it is under 40 VA.
Discharge water from a heat pump can be disposed of in
various ways depending on local building codes (i.e. recharge
well, storm sewer, drain field, adjacent stream or pond,
etc.). Most local codes restrict the use of sanitary sewer for
disposal. Consult your local building and zoning departments
to ensure compliance in your area.
