3 Installation
3-1 Installation Location Considerations
Economical Series systems are portable and can be installed almost anywhere. As with
all equipment installations, follow all applicable codes and regulations.
; The recommended ambient temperature range for Economical
Series installations is from +14ºF (-10ºC) to a maximum
operating ambient temperature of 131
°F (55ºC). Recommended
ambient storage temperature range is from -13ºF to 149ºF (-
25ºC to 65ºC). If storing the unit below freezing temperatures,
make sure the unit has an antifreeze mixture circulated inside.
; Provide a minimum of twelve inches (12” or about 30 cm)
clearance on all sides of the cabinet to allow circulation of
cooling air.
; Locate the unit as close to the process as is practical.
3-2 Process Approach Temperature Considerations
If the differential (U) between COOLING WATER IN and TO PROCESS temperatures
is less than 10
°F (7ºC), consult our Sales Department for advice on how to control low
approach applications.
3-3 External Piping Sizing Considerations
; All external hose and piping should be adequately sized to
assure minimum external pressure drop.
; Low external piping pressure drop is needed for best operation.
