Titan Central Chillers
B.
FROM PROCESS : a rigid pipe should be connected to the return
process header and dropped through the circular opening in the
reservoir lid on the 'hot' side of the reservoir. The return water pipe
must extend below the surface of the tank water during operation
(approx. 1.5' above the bottom of the tank to prevent unwanted
aeration of the process water). Cut the end of the return pipe at a
diagonal and face the open side of the pipe end away from the pump
suction ports of the tank.
C.
TO PROCESS : Connect the to process port to the process supply
header.
D.
Install a high volume basket strainer in the From Process line with isolation valves. A
basket strainer or bag filter with a 20 mesh (400 micron) or finer screen will protect the
unit. Installing a filter that is too fine may be unnecessary and may result in frequent filter
maintenance.
A "wye" type strainer is not recommended because it does not have
adequate debris holding capacity.
E.
Process water piping should be designed to avoid excessive elbows and/
or lengths of pipe or hose. Insulation of these lines is recommended to
prevent condensation and capacity losses due to heat absorption.
F.
Valves and filters may be installed in the process water piping to facilitate service and
maintenance provided that such devices maintain the full inside diameter of the process
connection. If installed, all such devices must be open and clean during unit operation.

WATER-COOLED CONDENSERS (TI-W MODELS)
A.
The TI-W chiller is designed for indoor use and should be located in a clean, dry and well-
ventilated environment. The ambient temperature in the area should not be below 40°F.
B.
TI-W chillers require an external water source at 85°F maximum temperature for the
water-cooled condenser. Tower water is the most common selection. However, city or
well water may be utilized. A water regulator valve is supplied to vary flow based on
refrigerant discharge pressure.
C.
Nominal flow rate requirements:
1.
Required consumption from a city water source is 1.5 gpm at 65°F per ton of
rated capacity.
2.
Required consumption for a tower water source is 3 gpm at 85°F per ton of rated
capacity.
D.
The pressure differential requirement between the condenser water in and water out
connections must be a minimum of 30 PSIG to obtain adequate flow.
E.
A water filter with 40 mesh or finer screen should be installed prior to the chiller to protect
the condenser from debris. Basket type strainers are recommended rather than wye type
strainers because they are generally more rugged and hold more debris.
