Refrigerant Piping Pressure Relief Valves flare connection for applications where it is necessary to connect vent piping and run it outside the building. All units have individual condensers per refrigerant circuit and each condenser is provided with a spring loaded relief CAUTION valve.
Water Connections General mizer will typically elevate the water temperature by 5 to 10°F before entering the condenser, allowing suitable Due to the variety of piping practices, it is advisable to fol- condenser water temperatures whenever the tower sup- low the recommendations of local authorities.

Duct Connections Supply Air Figure9. Discharge duct configurations For connection of supply ductwork directly to the unit, a duct collar must first be mounted at the fan outlet, avoiding the mounting screws located around the perimeter of the fan discharge opening (see Figure 8). Fan discharge opening sizes are indicated on the unit dimensional drawings.
