Allow a minimum of 18” of clearance above the module for service. Allow 12” side clearance of any ClimaCool modular chiller system (see Service Clearances page 6). Local building or electrical codes may require additional clearance.
ClimaCool Rigging and Lifting ® The ClimaCool Modular Chiller - Rigging and Lifting Procedures Rigging (Figures 1 and 2) A spreader bar should be utilized when rigging with Each module should be lifted by using lift straps threaded covers in place.
ClimaCool Service Clearances ® The ClimaCool Modular Chiller - Service Clearances Recommended Clearances 1. Allow 36” clearance for electrical panels and 24” clearance for rear service access to modules. 2. Allow a minimum of 18" height clearance for service and 12” for side clerances.
The ClimaCool Modular Chiller - Mounting Rail and Vibration Isolation ® Due to the low vibration of the modules, ClimaCool does not require the application of spring isolators or pads. Should isolators or pads be desired, install in accordance with Figs.

Piping Configurations). Temperature Sensor Wells Four temperature sensors and wells are provided with each ClimaCool chiller system (chilled water inlet, chilled water outlet, condenser water inlet, condenser water outlet). The installing contractor must install these temperature sensor wells as shown in figures 1 and 2 on page 10.
NOTES: ® 1. Figures 1 and 2 are required piping for proper water regulation and distribution through ClimaCool modular chillers. 2. Module order and incoming/outgoing water fl ow as shown in both Figure 1 and 2 can be set up as either a left-to-right or right-to-left confi...

Filling the Water System Pre-Start Up 4. After several hours of operation, the strainer should be FILLING THE WATER SYSTEMS isolated and cleaned. It is imperative that the water systems are free from 5. Step 4 should be repeated until there is no more debris debris prior to initial operation.
Cooling Tower listed in Table 1 below. The material used in the ClimaCool The cooling tower should be located away from sources of chiller exposed to the water are type 316 stainless steel, external contaminates such as trees, dust, or grass cuttings.
Condenser Water Temp. Requirements CONDENSER WATER An alternate method to maintain the minimum entering condenser water temperature above 65°F is to employ a TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS bypass arrangement as show in Fig. 1 below. This valve is an Requirements automatic 3-way bypass valve, which senses the temperature As a general rule the efficiency of the chiller increases as of the mixed water entering the condenser.
Strainer Installation Recommendations We recommend following the guidelines below when installing your strainer: 1. The ClimaCool Strainer should be placed on a firm, supporting surface. Failure to do so can cause stress on the weld joints. The weight of the ClimaCool Strainer...
