                       Installation manual water-cooler

1 or multiple water cooled Opticlimates can be connected to 1 water cooler. The water cooler is a 

super efficient way to recirculate water or a glycol-mix in a closed loop system. The fan(s) and the 

circulation-pump are the only parts that consume energy. The water cooler makes it possible to 

prepare water for the Opticlimates at outside temperatures over 40°C.*

Setting up the system starts with a good design of the system. Pump-size,  piping diameter and 

layout are the most important items when designing the system. 

The pump:

The circulator pump must supply a pre defined flow at a given pressure. The flow is determined by 

the energy that must be circulated (KW) and the pressure depends on the pressure-drop of the 

complete system (Opticlimate(s) +  water-cooler) We always calculate the correct pump for

your setup. We suggest to place the pump indoor.

The piping:

We suggest to use PE-piping with quick connectors. Prevent knees or other fittings that reduce 

water-flow. We supply all the fittings for PE piping in the package. Supplying the piping is also 

possible.

The water cooler:

The stock water coolers come as Industrial heavy duty and Ultra light /compact. The stock versions 

are all vertical models (roof/floor or wall mount). Both models can also be ordered as a horizontal 

model (roof /floor mount)

The fittings:

Supplied fittings are for PE piping applications. We supply automatic bleeders, air separators, ball 

valves, treated fittings depending on your setup.
