TRUCLIMATE CHILLERS OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL Application Notes The following general application notes are intended to describe general common design practices for these chillers. More detailed explanation resides in the installation, operation and maintenance manual. Piping Considerations When Piping multiple units in a bank, reverse return piping is recommended to ensure adequate even water flow through each chiller circuit, however in banks of less than 4 chiller modules, Non-reverse return (direct return) piping can be used successfully.
