6 - APPLICATION DATA

6.5 - System minimum water volume

Whichever the system, the water loop minimum capacity is given
by the formula:
Capacity = Cap (kW) x N litres
Application
Normal air conditioning
Process type cooling
Where Cap is the nominal system cooling capacity (kW) at the
nominal operating conditions of the installation.
This volume is necessary for stable operation and accurate
temperature control.
It is often necessary to add a buffer water tank to the circuit in order 
to achieve the required volume. The tank must itself be internally
baffled  in  order  to  ensure  proper  mixing  of  the  liquid  (water  or 
brine). Refer to the examples below.

6.6 - Maximum system water volume

Units with incorporated expansion tank (Opt. 293) have a maximum
water volume. The table below gives the maximum loop volume
for pure water or ethylene glycol with various system
concentrations, as well as the static pressures. If the maximum
volume  is  insufficient,  compared  to  the  minimum  system  water 
loop volume, an additional expansion tank must be added to the
system.
