LEAVING WATER TEMPERATURE OUT OF
RANGE
The QWC4 chiller line has a maximum leaving
water temperature of 60°F (15.6°C). Where process
applications require a chilled water temperature higher
than what the chiller provides, a simple piping change
can fix the problem. By using a mixture of chiller-
cooled water and returning process water, the chilled
water entering the process can be held at the required
temperature as shown in
A
tank can also be used to meet high leaving liquid tem-
perature requirements.
PIPEWORK ARRANGEMENT
Piping arrangement vary according to design and facil-
ity application.
is a suggested
piping arrangement for single unit installations. For
multiple unit installations, each unit could be piped as
shown below.
MINIMUM WATER VOLUME
Include as much water volume as possible in a chilled
water loop, which increases the thermal mass and fly-
wheel effect within the system. More water promotes
stable water temperature control and increases reliabil-
ity by reducing compressor cycling.
