The flow rates should fall in the range of Table 1 Evaporator Flow Rate(fall between the minimum and maximum values given on the pressure drop curves). Chilled water flow rates below the minimum values will result in laminar flow, which reduces heat transfer and causes either loss of EXV control or repeated nuisance, low temperature, cutouts.
