<10 ppm (<1 ppm "sandfree” for reinjection) of particles and a maximum
velocity of 1.8 m/s. Filtered for maximum 841 micron 0.84 mm,
20 mesh] size. Any particulate that is not removed can potentially
clog components.
Notes:
• NR - Application not recommended.
• "-" No design Maximum.
• Closed Recirculating system is identified by a closed pressurized piping system.
• Recirculating open wells should observe the open recirculating design considerations.
Above the given limits, scaling is likely to occur. Scaling indexes should be calculated using the limits below
Scaling indexes should be calculated at 66°C for direct use and HWG applications, and at 32°C for indirect HX use.
A monitoring plan should be implemented.
The ClimateMaster Water Quality Table provides water quality requirements for ClimateMaster coaxial heat exchangers. The water should be evaluated by an
independent testing facility comparing to this Table and when properties are outside of these requirements, an external secondary heat exchanger must be used to
isolate the heat pump heat exchanger from the unsuitable water. Failure to do so will void the warranty for the coaxial heat exchanger and any other components
damaged by a leak.
