There are system communication delays, polling and network conflicts that strictly prohibit the use of ClimaCool sensors and controls for control of field supplied bypasses or other field supplied items. The recommended method is to control via differential pressure or gpm flow meters across the chilled water/ evaporator, hot water/condenser and source water systems .
