2.1 GENERAL
A. Chillers are shipped skid mounted and wrapped in plastic prior to shipment. Check the
overall condition of the equipment prior to accepting delivery. Check for visible damage
and document any evident damage on the delivery receipt. Shipping damage is the
responsibility of the carrier.
B. All process piping materials (such as hose, rigid piping, valves or filters) used in process
water piping circuitry must be rated for 100°F minimum temperature and 100 PSI
minimum pressure.
C. All such materials must have the equivalent or larger diameter of the particular process
connection that length of process water piping is connected to.
2.2 UNIT LOCATION
A. Foundation. The chiller must be installed on a rigid and level mounting surface with
adequate strength to support the operating weight of the chiller including the weight of
water and attached piping.
This unit will contain water or water/glycol when operating. Locate the chiller
where an unforeseen fluid leak will not cause damage to the surroundings or
install the unit in such a way that an unforeseen fluid leak will not damage its
surroundings.
B. For air-cooled models:
1. These units are designed for indoor or outdoor use.
2. For most efficient operation, locate the chiller in a level, clean and well ventilated
environment.
3. The unit has an air-cooled refrigerant condenser. A motor driven fan generates
air flow through the condenser to remove heat from the refrigerant system. The
air cooled condenser on the unit will discharge approximately 15,000 BTU per
hour for every 12,000 Btu per hour of process cooling and the air flow rate is
approximately 1,000 CFM per compressor horsepower.
4. The unit is designed to operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures. The
minimum recommended entering air temperature is -20°F and the maximum
recommended entering air temperature is 95°F for efficient operation.
5. The unit must have a minimum of 4 feet clearance at the air intake and 10 feet
at the vertical or horizontal exhaust air discharge and must have adequate
ventilation to dissipate the rejected heat. The unit must not be placed in non-
ventilated areas.
6. Vertical Air Discharge: all sides of the unit must be a minimum of 4 feet away
from any wall or obstruction. If enclosed by three walls, the top of the unit must
be level with or above the top of the wall and the minimum clearance must be
increased to 8 feet from the walls. If multiple units are placed side by side a
