Glycol solution must be used if ambient
temperatures are expected to fall below
freezing or if the loop entering water
temperature to the unit is below 10°C (50°F)
while operating in the heating mode (heat
pump units only). Adding glycol to
condenser water causes an increase in
pressure drop and also results in a decrease in
unit performance. A minimum concentration
of 20% glycol solution is recommended.

Water loop piping that runs through unheated
areas or outside the building must be
insulated.
Never operate the unit in heat pump mode
with a saturated suction temperature below
1.7
°
C (35°F) for pure water systems or below
the freezing point +(-16.1

aqueous solution of water and glycol.
Water Piping
Verify that a water flow switch is installed
between the condenser water supply and
return connections. This sensor provides a
signal to the unit controller that water flow is
present in the refrigerant-to-water heat
exchanger and the unit can operate without
damaging unit components.

Only use approved water pipe material.
Avoid using galvanized material for water
lines/fittings as the material is corrosive and
may cause fouling of the water system.
Condenser water pump must be field sized
and installed between the cooling
WATER PRESSURE
Prior to connection of condensing
water supply, verify water pressure is
less than maximum pressure shown
on unit nameplate. To prevent injury
or death due to instantaneous release
of high pressure water, relief valves
must be field supplied on water piping.
Supply water connection may require
a backflow preventer to prevent
supply makeup water from backing up
into the public water system.
WARNING
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and CPVC
(Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) are
vulnerable to attack by certain
chemicals. Polyolester (POE) oils
used with R-410A and other
refrigerants, even in trace amounts, in
a PVC or CPVC piping system will
result in stress cracking of the piping
and fittings and complete piping
system failure.
CAUTION
