INTRODUCTION Description of the System The Mueller PAC Fre-Heater Model AL is designed to recover heat removed by refrigeration or air conditioning systems and to utilize that heat for heating water. It is a heat recovery system which heats and stores hot water all in one unit.

When selecting a location for PAC Fre-Heater, the ability of that location to bear the loaded weight of the Fre-Heater should be a prime consideration. The loaded weights of all PAC Fre-Heaters are listed in Table 1.

If they are, particular care must be taken to avoid oil traps and excessive pressure drop in the lines. The refrigeration lines going to and from PAC Fre-Heaters could reach temperatures of 150°C. The refrigeration lines must be insulated to prevent a burn hazard for personal injury or combustible substances.

PAC Fre-Heater units. To assure proper condensing unit operation, stay within the capacity range specified. A refrigeration unit exceeding the single circuit capacity of a specific PAC Fre-Heater may be connected to two or more Fre-Heater circuits on one or more Fre-Heaters having a combined circuit capacity equal to the...
Fre-Heater becomes warm. Test Run Turn on the water supply and fill the Model PAC Fre-Heater with water. Ensure that all water and refrigeration connections are leak- free. The unit is then ready for use. Refrigerant charge should be checked after the system has achieved normal operating conditions.
