6 - APPLICATION DATA

6.1 - Operating limits for 30XW units

30XW--/30XW-P
Evaporator
Entering temperature at start-up
Leaving temperature during operation
Entering/leaving temperature difference at full load
Condenser
Entering temperature at start-up
Leaving temperature during operation
Entering/leaving temperature difference at full load
(1) For low-temperature applications, where the leaving water temperature is below
3.3°C, a frost protection solution must be used. Please refer to option 6.
(2)  For lower condenser temperatures a water flow control valve must be used at 
the condenser (two or three-way valve). Please refer to option 152 to ensure
the correct condensing temperature.
(3) Please refer to option 150 for applications with a high condenser leaving
temperature (up to 63°C).
Note: Ambient temperatures: These units are dedicated for indoor environment. The
external temperature at chiller start up should be at least 5°C. For such low
ambient, option 152 is recommended. During storage and transport of the 30XW
units (including by container) the minimum and maximum permissible
temperatures are -20°C and 72°C (and 65°C for option 200).

6.3 - Maximum chilled water flow

The maximum chilled water flow is limited by the permitted pressure 
drop in the evaporator. It is provided in the table in chapter 6.6.
• Select the option with one water pass less that will allow a
higher maximum water flow rate (see option 100C in the 
table in chapter 6.5).
• Bypass the evaporator as shown in the diagram to obtain
a lower evaporator flow rate.
