Water Bypass Loop
The water bypass loop is used to flush the water system
without routing water through the rooftop unit
components. Units are shipped with three-way water
in/out valves in the bypass position. Refer to figure 9 for
water flow path. This prevents dirt and debris buildup in
the strainers and other components. Before placing unit
in service, bleed air from water lines (next section).
IMPORTANT - Make sure the three-way valves are
completely open (see figure 10). If the valves are not
fully open the amount of water entering the
water-to-refrigerant coil may be reduced. Reduced
water supply to the coil could severely limit unit
cooling performance. Reduced water flow could also
cause the water to freeze. Coils damaged due to
freezing water are not covered under warranty.
Bleed Air From Water Lines
1- Turn off all power to unit before bleeding lines.
2- Turn the three-way water inlet valve to main loop
position. If running water is not heard circulating,
make sure the main system pump is running.
3- Slowly open the manual air vent bleed port(s). When
the venting stops, close the air vent and turn the
three-way water outlet valve to main loop position.
The water will now be routed as shown in figure 10.
4- Measure the differential pressure across the
automatic flow regulator using a PT gauge set. See
figure 11. A minimum differential of 2.0 PSI is
required for proper flow.
