2.4. Cooling water connection
Cooling water pressure (IN/OUT) max. 6 bar
Pressure difference (IN - OUT) 3.5 to 6 bar
Cooling water temperature < 20 °C
Notice: Cooling water circuit
Risk of oil leaking from the refrigeration system (compressor) of the recirculating cooler
into the cooling water in case of a fault in the cooling water circuit!
Observe the laws and regulations of the water distribution company valid in the
location where the unit is operated.
Notice:
Danger of corrosion of heat exchanger due to unsuitable quality of cooling
water.
• Due to its high content of lime, hard water is not suitable for cooling and causes
scale in the heat exchanger.
• Ferrous water or water containing ferrous particles will cause formation of rust
even in heat exchangers made of stainless steel.
• Chlorinated water will cause pitting corrosion in heat exchangers made of
stainless steel.
• Due to their corrosive characteristics, distilled water and deionized water are
unsuitable and will cause corrosion of the bath.
• Due to its corrosive characteristics, sea water is not suitable.
• Due to its microbiological (bacterial) components, which settle in the heat
exchanger, untreated and unpurified river water and water from cooling towers is
unsuitable.
• Avoid particulate matter in cooling water.
• Avoid putrid water.
