Installation Mechanical Flow Sensing Devices Typically, a three-minute water loop circulation time is sufficient to prevent short water loop issues. Therefore, as a guideline, ensure the volume of water in the chilled water NOTICE loop is greater than or equal to three times the evaporator flow rate.

Installation Mechanical the range of 3 gpm per ton. Minimum inlet condenser water temperature is 65°F. Condenser piping must be in accordance with all local and national codes. Condenser piping components generally function identically to those in the evaporator piping system. In addition, cooling tower systems may include a manual or automatic bypass valve that can alter water flow rate to maintain condensing pressure.
Installation Electrical Checking the Power Supply WARNING Electrical power to the unit must meet stringent Proper Field Wiring and Grounding requirements for the unit to operate properly. Total voltage Required! supply and voltage imbalance between phases should be within the tolerances listed in this manual. Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury.
