Process Connections

6.1.0

ALL units are equipped with two chilled water connections.
(A) Water to process (from evaporator coils)
(B) Water from process ( to reservoir)
It is important that all external connections be full size to minimize pressure losses.

6.2.0

It the unit is not supplied with shut-off valves, these should be supplied by the customer.

6.3.0

To operate efficiently, the chiller vessel must be kept clean. It is strongly recommended that water treatment additives be included in the chilled water system. Failure through a plugged or contaminated chiller vessel is not covered by our warranty.

6.4.0

Condenser piping (water cooled units)

The condenser is supplied with one water-in connection and one water-out connection. Piping into the condenser must be minimum connection size and pressure at the condenser a minimum of 40 PSIG

Piping from condenser must be minimum connection size up to 100 ft. run. If run exceeds 100 ft. contact 1st Choice Portable Chillers or your local representative.

If main water lines to and from the condenser are used to feed other equipment it is advisable to install shut-off valves at both water in and out lines, adjacent to the condenser, so the condenser can be isolated for service purposes if required without cutting off water supply to other equipment.

6.4.2

To operate efficiently the condenser must be kept clean. It is strongly recommended that water treatment additives to control calcium and magnesium scale, algae and fungi, together with regulated bleed-off, be included in the condenser water system. The additives should also contain chemical corrosion inhibitors. Unit failure through plugged or contaminated condensers is not covered our warranty.
