Water and Glycol Cooled Condensing Units

For installation guidelines, refer to Installing the Indoor Condensing Unit on page 52.
7.6.1

Piping Considerations

It is recommended that manual service shut-off valves be installed at the supply and return line to
each unit. This will provide for routine service or emergency isolation of the unit.
When the water source for the condenser is of poor quality, it is good practice to provide cleanable fil-
ters in the supply line. These filters will trap the particles in the water supply and extend the service
life of the water cooled condenser.

Condenser Water Requirements

The standard maximum water pressure is 150 psig (1034 kPa). For applications above this pressure,
consult the factory about high pressure systems.
The system will operate in conjunction with a cooling tower, city water, or drycooler.

Regulating Valve

For details, refer to sections 4.3.1 - Standard Valve - 150psig (1034kPa) System for 3 & 5 Ton
Units (Johnson Controls Valve) High Pressure Valve - 350psig (2413kPa) System for 5 Ton
Units (Johnson Controls Valve), 4.3.2 - High Pressure Valve - 350 psig (2413 kPa) System
for 3 Ton Units (Metrex Valve), and 4.3.3 - Testing Valve Function.
7.6.4

Glycol Systems

For split system glycol systems, use drycooler and pump data found in 5.0 - Glycol/GLYCOOL
Cooled Models. See Table 18 - Drycooler data.
Electrical control interconnect to drycooler is wired from water/glycol condensing unit.
