Refrigerant-to-Water Heat Exchanger  

Condenser  water  pump,  condenser  water 
piping,  cooling  tower,  pressure  gauges, 
strainers, 

piping 

insulation 

and 

all 

components of the waterside piping must be 
field installed. 
 

Open Loop Applications 

This  product  contains  one  or  more 
refrigerant-to-water  heat  exchangers  made 
of 316 Stainless Steel. 316 Stainless Steel is 
subject to severe corrosion and failure when 
exposed to chlorides. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Do  not  allow  water  containing  any  form  of 
chlorides to enter this heat exchanger.  
 
Common forms of chlorides include: 
 
1.  Sea  water  mist  entering  an  open  cooling 
tower system. 
2.  Contaminated  make-up  water  containing 
salt water. 
3. Disinfection the water loop with solutions 
containing sodium hypochlorite. 
 
Chlorides  will  result  in  a  premature  failure 
of the condenser. 
 
Failure  of  the  condenser  as  a  result  of 
chemical  corrosion  is  excluded  from 
coverage  under  AAON  warranties  and  the 
heat exchanger manufacturer warranties. 
 

Failure of the condenser will allow water to 
enter  the  refrigerant  circuit  and  will  cause 
extensive  damage  to  the  refrigerant  circuit 
components.  Any  damage  to  the  equipment 
as  a  result  of  condenser  failure  from 
chemical  corrosion  due  the  fluid  in  the 
condenser  is  excluded  from  coverage  under 
AAON  warranties  and  the  heat  exchanger 
manufacturer warranties. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Freezing Water in the Heat Exchanger 

This  product  contains  one  or  more 
refrigerant-to-water  heat  exchangers.  A 
refrigerant-to-water heat  exchanger contains 
refrigerant  in  one  passage  and  water  in 
another passage. Water is subject to freezing 

 
 

 

OPEN LOOP APPLICATIONS 

 
Failure  of  the  condenser  as  a  result 
of  chemical  corrosion  is  excluded 
from  coverage  under  AAON  Inc. 
warranties  and  the  heat  exchanger 
manufacturer’s warranties. 

    

 

WARNING

 

 
 

 

Cleaning 

the 

cooling 

tower 

or 

condenser  water  loop  with  harsh 
chemicals  such  as  hydrochloric  acid 
(muriatic  acid),  chlorine  or  other 
chlorides, 

can 

damage 

the 

refrigerant-to-water  heat  exchanger. 
Care  should  be  taken  to  avoid 
allowing  chemicals  to  enter  the 
refrigerant-to-water  heat  exchanger. 
See  Appendix  A  -  Heat  Exchanger 
Corrosion 

Resistance 

for 

more 

information. 

  

 

CAUTION 

 

 
 

 

OPEN LOOP APPLICATIONS 

 
SMO  254  brazed  plated  refrigerant-
to-water 

heat 

exchangers 

are 

recommended  with  all  open  loop 
applications.  Failure  to  use  a  SMO 
254  heat  exchanger  may  result  in 
premature failure of your system and 
possible voiding of the warranty.
