Condensate drainage connection and safe drainage Condensate drainage connection If the temperature falls below the dew point, con- densation may form on individual components and can be collected and drained off. Taking the water resources act into account, it is necessary to check locally whether a condensate tray with oil separator is to be installed under the unit.

Electrical wiring - cable reel If the chiller is operated autonomously and without the use of external control components or connection to a building management system, only a power supply for the unit must be provided. The planning, design and execution of the type of cable/wiring and its cross-section depends on local factors such as the type of installation, ambient temperature, installation arrangement and others.
