VERSATEC ULTRA NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL Water Quality The heat exchangers and water lines in the units are copper General or cupronickel tube. There may be other materials in the Water-to-water heat pumps may be successfully applied building’s piping system that the designer may need to take in a wide range of residential and light commercial into consideration when deciding the parameters of the applications.
Normally about 0.054 L/s flow rate per kw of cooling capacity (0.040 L/s per kw NOTES: 1) WaterFurnace recommends a male national pipe minimum) is needed. Both source as well as load fluid piping thread (NPT) to British standard pipe fitting (BSPF) to must be at least as large as the unit connections on the heat adapt to NSKW water connections.
