Connecting Process Piping
!
CAUTION

Hoses, valves and other components in your process must be able to
withstand 2016-C unit maximum temperatures and pressures.

Maximum temperatures and pressures are listed on the unit nameplate.

Carefully inspect all components before installation.

If in doubt about component suitability, obtain factory components.

Fix all leaks! Fluid can be a potential fire and slip hazard.
Connecting Cooling Water Piping
You must provide cooling water at 25 psi to 75 psi (172.4 kPa to
517.1 kPa/1.7 bars to 5.2 bars) for proper operation. Untreated
water can foul or corrode the heat transfer surfaces, slowing water
flow and causing fluid temperature control problems. STERLING,
Inc. sells a complete line of water treatment equipment that can
reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Install properly-sized cooling water lines – never smaller than the
outlets on the 2016-C unit. If external piping is larger than 2016-C
unit connections, reduce the size of the piping at the unit.
Connecting Vent Piping
You must leave the vent connection open to the atmosphere at
all times. The vent connection is located on top of the reservoir
and on the back of the unit. On systems with piping above the
reservoir level, you must run vent piping to a minimum height of
one foot (1’ / 31 cm) above the highest point in the system. Run
the piping down into an auxiliary vented overflow chamber, such
as a vented, covered 55-gallon (208-liter) drum. This practice
ensures that overflow will not create a hazard to personnel.
Remember: All external piping must be supported independently
of the 2016-C unit.
