For the chiller internal water volume refer to Tab. 1. If the optional
buffer tank is installed on the machine, add the tank hydraulic
volume.

Fig. b -- Inertia tank sizing
The total optimum hydraulic volume of the system where the Matrix S chiller is installed can be calculated by the
following formula:
43 x Rt
V =
Xd
where:
---
V=minimum required total water volume expressed in litres
---
Rt=refrigeration capacity expressed in kW
---
Xd=differential band set on the control and expressed in degrees centigrade
Please note that the sum of the hydraulic volume of the Matrix S chiller (Vm) plus the volume of the hydraulic circuit
connected to it (Vpc) must be greater than, or equal to the minimum required total water volume (V). If this condi-
tion is not satisfied, it is necessary to install an inertia tank (Vpt, as indicated in the Fig. a) with a volume at least
equal to the following value: Vpt=V ---Vm ---Vpc

Safety valves are installed on the high pressure side of the refrig-
eration circuit: the discharge of these valves must be conveyed
outside through a suitable pipe, having a diameter of at least that
of the valve outlet, without burdening the valve body. Convey the
discharge to areas where the jet cannot harm people and the
surrounding environment.
