  • Page 5: Hydronic Piping And Design Guide

    Chiltrix Inc. www.Chiltrix.com Hydronic Piping and Design Guide Installation Methods Heating and Cooling (Heating Shown) Note: Primary Secondary Piping is NOT supported on this chiller. A buffer tank must be used for floor heating. Installation Notes: 1. Minimum pipe size should be no less than 1”, CPVC or Oxygen Barrier PEX, reverse return piping is preferable to eliminate balancing valves or pressure regulators.
  • Page 6 Chiltrix Inc. www.Chiltrix.com Piping Examples: Stacked Chillers With a Buffer Tank and Second Non-PWM Pump A buffer tank should be used when the loop volume is less than 10 gallons to keep the compressor from cycling.
  • Page 7 Chiltrix Inc. www.Chiltrix.com Using a Buffer Tank Primary / secondary piping is not supported, when connecting to a floor heating loop always use a buffer tank. The pump in the buffer tank drawing is controlled by the customer’s floor loop controls. To calculate the size of the buffer tank please use the following formula.
  • Page 8 Chiltrix Inc. www.Chiltrix.com Example of head calculation To calculate the head pressure for the correct water flow, the pipe length must be measured and all fittings counted. It is advisable to use flexible red oxygen barrier pex piping to avoid as many elbows as possible. All fittings have an equivalent length of pipe already calculated, available on the next page under PEX Fittings Pressure Drops.
  • Page 9 Chiltrix Inc. www.Chiltrix.com Notes: The example loop above has a volume of 4.5 gallons. The internal thermal expansion tank is 2 liters or .52 Gallons. An additional thermal expansion tank may be required for larger loops. There are many thermal expansion calculators on the internet, the following is an example.

  • Page 11 Chiltrix Inc. www.Chiltrix.com NOTE: When using CPVC piping it is highly recommended that you do not exceed a 25% glycol to water ratio. Environmental Stress Cracking, also referred to as ESC, is a mechanism by which an organic chemical (possibly a weak solvent or even a non-solvent) achieves an extremely localized weakening at the surface of the material which permits propagation of a crack.
