Water Supply and Drain Sizes
• The condenser water outlet and water tank drain connections must be extended
separately
to an
open drain or sump, arranged for visible discharge.
Do not trap the water tank drain line
, as
this will interfere with the operation of the automatic blowdown system. A 20 mesh strainer,
supplied with the machine, should be installed in the supply line to the condenser.
! CAUTION !
These lines must NOT be connected into a pressure tight common header
due to the possibility that warm condenser water may back up into the water tank.
The condenser water outlet MUST be piped separately to the drain.
