Water Supply and Drain Sizes
∗∗
The condenser water outlet and water tank drain connections must be extended 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.
! 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.
! CAUTION !
Note: Due to variations in water quality by geographic location, water filtering or treatment may be
required to reduce maintenance and inhibit hardness buildup on machine components (tubes, valves).
Consult your local water treatment company for recommendations and equipment.
