Desuperheater Water Heating Applications
Figure 4a illustrates the installation of a GSTE storage water heater with a Desuperheater
supplementing the hot water heating function. Although the desuperheater in Figure 4a is
shown as a separate unit, (as Desuperheater Kit Model DSH-1872 applied to SC and SW
compressor units) the installation instructions apply to the SD compressor unit also.(The SD
incorporates the desuperheater within the compressor unit cabinet). Location of the water
heater from the Desuperheater (or the SD compressor unit) is to be no more than 10 ft. apart.
Water piping connections between the Desuperheater (or SD compressor unit) and the water
heater are ½” Type L copper. Details for the ports and connections on top of the water heater
are shown in Figure 4b. The electrical field wiring for the electric heating element and
thermostat are illustrated in Figure 4c.
