VARIABLE PRIMARY FLOW
Use a maximum 10% per minute flow rate of change,
based on design flow, for variable primary flow appli-
cations. Provide 8 gal to 10 gal per chiller ton (8.6 L to
10.8 L per cooling KW) system water volume. Insuffi-
cient system volume and rapid flow changes can cause
control problems or chiller shutdowns. There are many
other design issues to evaluate with variable primary
flow systems. Consult the Quantech Sales Office for
more information about successfully applying QWC4
chillers.
NOZZLE CONNECTIONS
Standard chilled liquid connections on all coolers and
condensers are the grooved type as shown in the fol-
lowing figure

REFRIGERANT RELIEF PIPING
In case of an emergency, each unit is equipped with a
relief valve on the evaporator, condenser and oil sepa-
rator discharge line to quickly relieve excess pressure
of the refrigerant charge to the atmosphere. The relief
valves are furnished in accordance with the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers Standard 15 (ASHRAE 15) in North Amer-
ica, or PED code in Europe. Valve specifications are
.
Refrigerant relief vent piping (by others), from the re-
lief valves to the outside of the building, is required
by code, and must be installed on all units as shown in
For additional information on
relief valve discharge line sizing, refer to ASHRAE 15
Addendum 15C and 15D-2000, Section 9.7.8.5.
If relief piping is common to more than one valve, its
cross-sectional area must be at least the total required
by each valve. Valve types should not be mixed on a
common pipe. Take precautions to make sure that the
outlets of relief valves or relief valve vent pipes remain
clear of obstructions at all times.
Piping must be properly supported to pre-
vent any strain on relief valve mounting.
