Elevation
For chillers located at a
higher
elevation than the application
• The maximum recommended height difference varies depending on several factors including
the maximum inlet water pressure for the application, normal water pump discharge pressure,
and pressure losses in the piping to the application.
• Consult Haskris if there are questions about locating a chiller.
For chillers located at a
lower
elevation than the application
• The maximum recommended height difference is 32 ft (9.8 m).
o It is best if the height difference can be less than 32 ft (9.8 m).
o Consult Haskris if there are questions.
Clearances
• See the diagrams below showing recommended clearances for chiller models OPC3 through
OPC30.
o Note that these show the dimensions and clearances for a standard design. Some
customizations may alter the dimensions and/or clearance requirements. Consult
Haskris if there are questions about a specific design.
• For models OPC36 and larger, consult Haskris to get information about recommended
clearances.
• Air flow is horizontal into the chiller and vertical out of the chiller.
• Maintain an unobstructed space for free air discharge above the chiller.
• Consult Haskris if clearances will be smaller than these recommendations. Haskris will evaluate
individual site conditions as needed to ensure proper operation.
• Avoid areas where a heat source will discharge heat towards the chiller.
o Examples: condenser vents, heating exhaust, etc.
• Avoid areas where debris may accumulate on the condenser.
