BOGE Operating instructions for S 40-2...S 341 / SF 40-2...SF 220 series screw compressors
Water connection
(for water cooling)
The cooling water must have the following properties:
Electrical conductivity: >50 µS/cm at pH value 7–9:
Carbonatehardness CaCo
3
<16°dH
Cooling water pressure – max. [psig] 146
– min. [psig] 30
Cooling water inlet temperature – min. [°F] 41
– max. [°F] 86
Max. cooling water quantity – refer to technical data.
The cooling units are fitted with nonferrous heat exchangers, as standard.
To avoid damage to these components and to guarantee a long term function,
ensure that the substances contained in the cooling water used do not exceed
the following values:
