INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The QCP Quick Connect Panel provides all the diagnostics that 

medical equipment manufacturers require.

•  Mount the QCP panel in a location where meters can be 

read by the medical equipment operators. 

Consideration 

should be given to the routing of chilled liquid line.

•  Excessive pipe lengths cause heat gain as well as pressure 

reduction. Locate the panel between the chiller and medical 

equipment, preferably close to the medical equipment. The 

closer the panel is to the medical heat exchanger, the more 

useful the temperature readings will be. 

•  All coolant lines must be insulated to reduce heat gain and 

to prevent condensation from forming during high humidity 

conditions.

•  The piping procedure simply consists of matching QCP 

connections to the appropriate points and setting the ball 

valves to the desired operation mode.  (See 

Operation 

Modes

 table on page 2.)

•  If plumbing line size reduction is being considered, it 

must be verified that proper flow and pressure can be 

maintained. As a general rule, reducing the pipe size is not 

recommended.

•  When installation has been completed, put the unit in Full 

Bypass Mode. Close the ball valve that feeds the city water 

drain while filling the system. If this valve is left open while 

the chiller is inoperative and being filled, the fluid being 

added to the system will run down the drain. Once the chiller 

has been started, open this valve.

A list of plumbing/electrical connections to the QCP panel 

and where they should be routed:

CITY WATER DRAIN

*

This connection is piped to a floor 

drain or any other suitable water 

disposal drain.

TO CHILLER

Piped to the RETURN connection 

at the chiller.

FROM CHILLER

Piped to the chiller DISCHARGE 

connection.

CITY WATER SUPPLY

*

Connect to the municipal water 

supply for backup cooling.

FROM EQUIPMENT

Piped to the discharge line of the 

medical equipment.

SOLENOID COILS

*

Connect the wires in parallel and 

refer to the chiller electrical dia-

gram.

* Optional equipment for QCP-AS

OPERATION

Your QCP will give you years of trouble-free service. Like any 

other piece of fine equipment, occasional maintenance may 

be required. You will soon discover the flexibility designed into 

the QCP. In most circumstances, service can be performed on 

the unit or chiller without interrupting medical requirements.

There are five operation modes of the QCP panel summa-

rized below:

1. NORMAL 

OPERATION

The standard operating configuration. See 

Mode 1 on next page and note location/

settings of valves and flow paths.

2. FULL  

BYPASS

This configuration isolates the chiller from 

the medical equipment. It can be used when 

starting the chiller if the medical equipment 

is not yet operational. The chilled water is 

simply routed from the chiller discharge 

back to the return line. 

See Mode 2 in chart 

on next page

 and note location/settings of 

valves and flow paths.

3. SERVICE 

FLOW  

METER

In the event the flow meter or other instru-

ments in this path need service, flow can 

be routed as shown. 

See Mode 3 in chart 

on next page 

and note location/settings of 

valves and flow paths.

4. SERVICE 

FILTER

Filter changes will be required when the 

system is initially started and periodically 

thereafter. This mode allows uninterrupted 

service to the medical equipment while a fil-

ter change takes place. 

See Mode 4 in chart 

on next page 

and note location/settings of 

valves and flow paths.

5. CITY  

WATER 

BACKUP

*

This condition will occur if the chiller fails 

and actuates solenoids 1 and 2. Notice that 

the flow of water is from the city water con-

nection through the medical equipment 

and down the drain. 

IMPORTANT: The city 

water pressure must not exceed 80 p.s.i.

 

The automatic backup will only work if the 

system was previously operating in Mode 1 

(Normal Mode). 

See Mode 5 in chart on next 

page 

and note location/settings of valves 

and flow paths.

* Optional equipment for QCP-AS
