CAUTION - Equipment Damage!

 

After water system clean and leakage test, fully drain the water from evaporator and piping system. 
Use pressurized air or nitrogen to blow out and ensure that no water stay in the evaporator and 
piping in winter.

 

CAUTION - Equipment Damage!

 

All inlet and outlet shutoff valves shown i

Figure 8 

should be always open to enable water circulated 

by UC800 controlled pump to avoid freezing when the units in operation or standby condition.

Minimum Water Loop Volume 

In order to obtain leaving water temperature stability for comfort cooling applications, a minimum water loop 
volume of 9 liters per kW is recommanded on all unit sizes. If the total water system volume lower than 
required, including water volume of evaporator, water piping and indoor unit, it may be necessary to add a 
tank or increase pipe sizes to provide sufficient liquid volume. Any storage tank that is placed in the water 
loop should have internal baffles to allow thorough mixing of the fluid.
