TRUCLIMATE 300 WATER-COOLED CHILLER WITH HYBREX TECHNOLOGY INSTALLATION MANUAL -
Formerly the WC Hybrex Chiller
Application Requirements
Heat Exchangers
The Condenser and Evaporator heat exchangers utilize a
single wall design. Do not install use for potable water ap-
plications without intermediate heat exchanger.
Minimum Fluid Volume
Water-to-water Chillers require a minimum amount of
source and load side fl uid volume to ensure accurate and
stable temperatures during system operation. For normal air
conditioning type applications, it is recommended to use at
least 7 gallons/ton.
Applications that require more precise temperature control
or low loading will occur the minimum fl uid volume shall be
no less than 10 gallons/ton. Installation of a buffer tank that
will properly mix the fl uid is recommended.
Strainers
All brazed-plate heat exchangers shall have a strainer within
8 ft of the water/brine inlet. It is highly recommended to use
a 30-40 mesh to provide maximum fi ltration. In any case,
the strainers should never have a mesh size less than 20.
Failure to install proper strainers and perform regular ser-
vice can result in serious damage to the unit, and cause de-
graded performance, reduced operating life and failed com-
pressors. Improper installation of the unit (which includes
not having proper strainers to protect the heat exchangers)
can also result in voiding the warranty.
Strainers should be selected based on acceptable pres-
sure drop, and not on pipe diameter. The strainers selected
should have a pressure drop at the nominal fl ow rate of the
units; low enough to be within the pumping capacity of the
pump being used.
