! CAUTION Do not use the chiller for purposes other than those for which it is intended. Do not use the chiller for cooling precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art as this may adversely affect the performance, quality and/or longevity of the object concerned. Do not remove the chiller's fan guard.

1.2.2 Evaporator The 2-pass dual circuit shell and tube type direct expansion (DX) heat exchanger has refrigerant in the tubes and liquid flowing through the baffled shell. The waterside (shell) design working pressure is 1.0MPa. The refrigerant side is protected by pressure relief valve(s). The Victaulic connection is used. 1.2.3 Condenser The coils are seamless copper tubes, arranged in staggered rows, mechanically expanded into coated aluminium fins.
2 Specifications 2.1 Water Flow Rate To ensure the normal operation of the unit, the water flow rate of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger must be within the rated flow 50% and 130%. If the water flow rate is too low, the internal copper tube for heat exchange of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger may crack and refrigerant may leak.

4.4 Installation Space Requirements The unit requires enough fresh air for heat exchange through the air side heat exchanger; therefore, be sure to reserve sufficient space around and between units. To enable maintenance and repairs, do not store materials around the unit. Note the following points when installing the unit in areas affected by snow.
Page 25
Incorrect installation In monsoon regions where the air heat exchanger faces the monsoon, air flow is like the broken line in the following figure because the air speed is higher than the air inlet speed of the fan. In this case, air that has undergone heat exchange will undergo it again in another heat exchanger, reducing cooling capacity and possibly causing a fault.
