Fig.11. Securing the screwed connections of the exchanger Supply and return exchanger connections should be connected so as the exchanger operates in a countercurrent way. Stream wise operation results in lower average temperature difference, influencing the exchanger’s performance. Examples of connecting supply and return pipelines for various AHU versions shown in the fig.12 Fig.12.
NOTICE: The DX coils have sweat connections. When brazing or welding piping: avoid exposing piping components to high heat when making sweat connections and protect the closest valve to the connection with a wet rag. NOTICE: Do not release refrigerant to the atmosphere! If adding or removing refrigerant is required, the service technician must comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
