Product introduction Product introduction • Water Cooled VRF is a water-air heat pump air condition equipment which can deliver cooling and heating by taking water as its heat source. Water acts as the heat-extraction source when heating, while heat-absorption source when cooling. Thus there is no risk of frost formation on condenser’s surface.

Product introduction Water system Cooling water system guarantees Water Cooled VRF reliable operation. Water volume and water temperature should reach the design index (see the technical parameter) during the designing of VRF water system in order to not cause cooling volume dropping or tripping protection because of inadequate water or lack water or water temperature too high.
Page 12
Product introduction ② Cooling towers and pumps a) Select the cooling tower capacity based on the system’s water circulation volume. b) The unit water system must select the closed cooling tower. c) Circulating Pump is generally vertical pipeline pump. It is according to the length of the pipe and drag to select a pump head.

Product introduction 2. Insulation should be installed on the water inlet/outlet to prevent condensate water or icing; 3. Water in heat exchanger should all be drained out during long shutdown in the winter to avoid icing; 4. The diameter of water pipe should be the same as the diameter of unit connection (1-1/4 inch) or larger.

Product introduction ⑥ Use guide and maintenance of tube-in-tube heat exchanger Cautions in the process of using tube-in-tube: 1. The thread specification for inlet and outlet water pipe is G1-1/4. 2. To avoid foreign body into the system impacting performance and even leading to the corrosion of the double-pipe heat exchanger, must connect water filter unit in the feed line attachment, recommend mesh is 40 mesh per inch.

Product introduction 7.The configuration of the cleaning solution Recommended acid lotion: oxalic acid 5%, relievers 1.2%, surfactant 0.8%, acid pickling temperature 60°C, in this condition the cleaning effect is better. When use hydrochloric acid to clean the system, in order to avoid corrosion and shorten the life of the heat exchanger, the concentration of hydrochloric acid should be limited to 3% -5%, and added at a concentration of 0.2% -0.3% of the release agent.
