Water Quality Parameters
Water quality is of the utmost importance for the proper
care and maintenance of the modular chiller system.
Proper water treatment is a specialized industry and
we recommend consulting an expert in this fi eld to
analyze the water for compliance with the water quality
parameters listed in Table 1. The material used in the
ClimaCool chiller exposed to the water are type 316
stainless steel, pure copper, and carbon steel. Other
materials may exist external to the ClimaCool chiller. It
is the user’s responsibility to ensure these materials are
compatible with the treated water. Regular treatment
of the water will increase longevity of your system.
Failure to provide adequate fi ltration or treatment of
evaporator and condenser water will void the ClimaCool
module’s warranty.
Heavy-Contaminated Water
In such instances whereby the particulates in the
water are excessive it is recommended to install an
intermediate plate & frame heat exchanger to isolate
the ClimaCool chiller from the building water system.

Water Piping Practices
As with any water system, it is important that the
system be clean. The pipe work installer must remove
weld scale, rust and contamination during pipe work
fabrication. Refer to the ClimaCool modular chiller water
piping confi gurations (page 15) for piping confi gurations
on multiple modules and necessary components
required for the water system. Before fi nal piping
connections are made to the chiller, all external water
piping must be thoroughly fl ushed. Suffi
cient insulation
should be installed and sealed to prevent condensation
and reduce heat gain. Chiller water volume can be
accommodated with the use of expansion tanks.
