Two connections are made to each SCW Series unit:
Condenser Water In
The city or tower water supply inlet is located at the side or rear of
the chiller.
• Water pressure ≥ 25 psi (≥ 172.4 kPa/≥ 1.72 bars)
• Water temperature ≤ 85°F (≤ 29ºC)
Condenser Water Out
The return outlet, located at the chiller side or rear is connected to
a cooling tower inlet, a sewer or other approved discharge receiver.
• A water regulating valve is an optional feature in the
condenser water out line.
• Adjust the butterfly valve for the pressure drop that
corresponds to the model number of the chiller. Pressure drop
is equal to supply pressure minus return pressure. (If a water
regulating valve has been supplied, adjustment is not required.)

3-10 Installing the Remote Air-Cooled Condenser
SCW Series models use the surrounding air to cool the remote
condenser. All models have variable speed fans and low ambient
controls to allow proper operation down to -20°F (-29ºC) outdoor
air temperature.
Install the remote air cooled condenser where there is:
• Greater than or equal to -20°F (-29ºC) air temperature.
• Free passage of air for condensing.
• Adequate structural support.
• Protection from strong winds and drifting snow.
• Provisions for removal of heated air from the area.
