AIR-COOLED FLUID COOLER
13 • Air-Cooled Condenser Manual
2.0 PIPING
Tightly drawn Teflon tape should be used on threaded pipe joints where needed.
Glycol piping requires no insulation except when fluid temperature will be below ambient dew
point temperatures. Fluid coolers typically produce around 70°F (21.1°C) or higher fluid
temperatures.
Proper piping practices should be employed to ensure air can be vented from the system
when filling or adding fluid. Air vents are required at all high points in the piping in order to
bleed air when filling the system.
Gates valves (field provided by others) are recommended to be installed on both sides of the
pump to prevent loss of fluid during repair or replacement. Shut-off valves (field provided by
others) are also recommended at the fluid cooler in the event the evaporator is to be moved
or maintenance is required for the coolant system.
Piping must be supported within 18 inches (457 mm) of the inlet and outlet connections.
WARNING: With any fluid connection there is risk of leakage. Fluid
leakage could result in property damage. Fluid leakage can result
from improper installation and/or practices.
