Performance Data Selection Notes

For operation in the shaded area when water is used in lieu of
an anti-freeze solution, the LWT (Leaving Water Temperature)
must be calculated. Flow must be maintained to a level such
that the LWT is maintained above 40°F [4.4*C] when the JW3
jumper is not clipped (see example below). This is due to the
potential of the refrigerant temperature being as low as 32°F
[0°C] with 40°F [4.4°C] LWT, which may lead to a nuisance
cutout due to the activation of the Low Temperature Protection.
JW3 should never be clipped for standard range equipment or
systems without antifreeze.
Example:
At 50°F EWT (Entering Water Temperature) and 1.5 gpm/ton, a
3 ton unit has a HE of 22,500 Btuh. To calculate LWT, rearrange
the formula for HE as follows:
HE = TD x GPM x 500, where HE = Heat of Extraction (Btuh);
TD = temperature difference (EWT - LWT) and GPM = U.S.
Gallons per Minute.
TD = HE / (GPM x 500)
TD = 22,500 / (4.5 x 500)
TD = 10°F
LWT = EWT - TD
LWT = 50 - 10 = 40°F
In this example, as long as the EWT does not fall below 50°F, the system will operate as designed. For EWTs below 50°F, higher
 ow rates will be required (open loop systems, for example, require at least 2 gpm/ton when EWT is below 50°F).
