3.3  WATER CONTENT OF THE SYSTEM 

 

The compressors often work intermittently as the user cooling request does not generally coincide with that supplied by the 
compressor. A compressor start-up or shutdown delay can generate a carrier fluid temperature drift from the storage ideal 
temperature. The system must be be built in such a way that this drift does not cause damage to the hydraulic circuit.  
There is a substantial difference between units that operate on pure water and water with a glycol content. 

 
NO GLYCOL UNITS:  

These  units  do  not  have  an  on-board  tank  and  the  system  must  be  built  to  guarantee  a  minimum  amount  of  water  in  the 
primary circuit. The amount in question can be identified by following the requirements provided in the documentation for the 
associated  chiller,  as  it  depends  directly  on  the  power  of  the  chiller  unit,  on  the  type  of  installed  compressors  and  on  the 
number of envisioned power steps. The associated chiller can be selected with or without an on-board tank, as long as the 
required minimum amount of water is observed. The associated chiller must be selected with at least one on-board pump.  
 

GLYCOL UNITS 

An on-board AQUA Link tank is always included as part of the standard supply of these units. The associated chiller must, in 
turn, be selected with an on-board tank. This choice is based on the possibility of exploiting a complete system that is not 
dependent  on  external  accessory  elements.  The  sum  of  the  water-glycol  content  from  the  two  tanks  is,  in  fact,  enough  to 
avoid damage to the circuit due to possible fluctuations in temperature.  
 
The Chiller series, with or without glycols, that AQUA Link can be associated with are:

3.4  RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION 

 

Units  with  gycols  for  outdoor  installation  are  always  accessorised  by  an  electrical  heating  element  to  protect  the  heat 
exchanger, otherwise the chilled beams circuit will not be protected from frost. The heating element switches on when the 
critical temperatures are reached. 
The installer is responsible for protecting any pipe sections that connect the secondary hydrualic circuit (chilled beams) to 
the plate exchanger.
