Piping and Drain Connections

Figure 3-4A (Air Cooled) and 3-4B (Water Cooled) show locations and sizes for all connections.
The minimum inlet water pressure for satisfactory operation of the machine is 30 psig.
• The condenser water outlet and water tank drain connections must be extended separately to an
open drain or sump, arranged for visible discharge. Do not trap the water tank drain line, as
this will interfere with the operation of the automatic blowdown system. A 20 mesh strainer,
supplied with the machine, should be installed in the supply line to the condenser.
These lines must NOT be connected into a pressure tight common header
due to the possibility that warm condenser water may back up into the water tank.
The condenser water outlet MUST be piped separately to the drain.
