Flow Regulation —

Flow regulation can be accom-

plished by two methods. Most water control valves have a

built-in flow adjustment valve. Determine the flow rate by

measuring the pressure drop through the unit heat exchanger.

See Table 12. Adjust the water control valve until a flow of 1.5

to 2 gpm per ton cooling is achieved. Since the pressure

constantly varies, two pressure gages may be needed.

An alternative method for regulating flow is to install a flow

control device. These devices are typically an orifice of plastic

material mounted on the outlet of the water control valve,

designed to allow a specified flow rate. Occasionally these

valves produce a velocity noise that can be reduced by

applying some back pressure. To accomplish this, slightly close

the leaving isolation valve of the water regulating device.

Antifreeze —

In areas where entering loop temperatures

drop below 40 F or where piping will be routed through areas

subject to freezing, antifreeze is needed.

Alcohols and glycols are commonly used as antifreeze

agents. Freeze protection should be maintained to 15 F below the

lowest expected entering loop temperature. For example, if the

lowest expected entering loop temperature is 30 F, the leaving

loop temperature would be 22 to 25 F. Therefore, the freeze pro-

tection should be at 15 F (30 F –15 F) = 15 F.

Calculate the total volume of fluid in the piping system. See

Table 13. Use the percentage by volume in Table 14 to deter-

mine the amount of antifreeze to use. Antifreeze concentration

should be checked from a well mixed sample using a hydrome-

ter to measure specific gravity.
FREEZE PROTECTION SELECTION — The 30 F FP1 fac-

tory setting (water) should be used to avoid freeze damage to

the unit.

Once antifreeze is selected, the JW3 jumper (FP1) should

be clipped on the control to select the low temperature

(antifreeze 10 F) set point to avoid nuisance faults.

CAUTION

DO NOT use “Stop Leak” or any similar chemical agent in

this system. Addition of these chemicals to the loop water

will foul the system and inhibit unit operation.

IMPORTANT: All alcohols should be pre-mixed and

pumped from a reservoir outside of the building or intro-

duced under water level to prevent alcohols from fuming.
