most instances, piping may be reused. If piping is not

Evaporator Maintenance
The Trane Model CGAX liquid chiller uses a brazed plate
heat paddle (BPHE) evaporator with factory installed
flow switch that is positioned in the evaporator water
12
pipe. The evaporator inlet also includes a water strainer
230/1/50
that must be kept in place to keep debris out of the
8,3
evaporator.
