Condenser Air Filtering. Use a filter that produces very low air flow restrictions. Generally a disposable fiberglass filter with a MERV rating of 2 - 3 provides adequate air filtration. The purpose of the filter is to prevent large particles such as dust, lint and debris from fouling the condenser. You should be able to see through the filter media. Using restrictive filter media can cause loss of chiller capacity, difficulty running in warm weather and fan motor overheating. Typical Filter materials. TEMPTEK, INC.

PROCESS FLOW ADJUSTMENTS The operator must determine and set proper water flow rate for the most efficient and trouble free operation. Water flow rate through the process is determined by the pressure losses in the process loop. Generally, higher flow rates result in turbulent flow achieving maximum temperature control and lower maintenance. Since the evaporator in most liquid chillers is flow sensitive, the efficiency of operation is directly related to the flow of liquid. TEMPTEK, INC.
