Flow Regulation - Flow regulation can be accomplished
by two methods. One method of ow regulation involves
simply adjusting the ball valve or water control valve on
the discharge line. Measure the pressure drop through the
unit heat exchanger, and determine ow rate from Tables
8a through 8e. Since the pressure is constantly varying,
two pressure gauges may be needed. Adjust the valve
until the desired ow of 1.5 to 2 gpm per ton [2.0 to 2.6
l/m per kW] is achieved. A second method of ow control
requires a ow control device mounted on the outlet of
the water control valve. The device is typically a brass
tting with an orice of rubber or plastic material that is
designed to allow a specied ow rate. On occasion, ow
control devices may produce velocity noise that can be
reduced by applying some back pressure from the ball
valve located on the discharge line. Slightly closing the
valve will spread the pressure drop over both devices,
lessening the velocity noise.
Note: When EWT is below 50°F [10°C], 2 gpm per ton
(2.6 l/m per kW) is required.
Water Coil Low Temperature Limit Setting - For all
open loop systems the 30°F [-1.1°C] FP1 setting (factory
setting-water) should be used to avoid freeze damage to
the unit. See “Low Water Temperature Cutout Selection”
in this manual for details on the low limit setting.
