Upon receiving the chiller and components, inspect for any shipping
damage. Claims for damage, either apparent or concealed, should be filed
immediately with the shipping company.
No liquid, other than the liquid solution mixture of water and Propylene
Glycol, shall be used in the piping system and must be mixed in
accordance with table 6 on page 16.
Corrosive environments may subject metal parts of the chiller to rust and
deterioration. The oxidation could shorten the chiller’s useful life.
Corrosive elements include salt spray, fog or mist in sea coastal areas,
sulfur or chlorine from lawn watering systems, and various chemical
contaminants from industries such as paper mills and petroleum
refineries.
If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminates are likely to be a problem,
special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure.
Avoid having lawn sprinklers spray directly on the chiller cabinet.
In coastal areas, locate the chiller on the side of the building away from the
waterfront.
Elevate the chiller adequately to ensure that it does not sit in standing water or
where water can contact with the cabinet base.
Regular maintenance will reduce the build-up of contaminants and help protect the
cabinet finish.
In severe locations, having the chiller coated with an “epoxy” or other coating
formulated for air conditioning systems located in coastal areas may be necessary.
Consult local building codes or ordinances for special installation
requirements. When selecting a site to locate the chiller, consider the
following:
A minimum clearance of 36” on the service access ends of the cabinet, 36” on the coil
air inlet sides and nothing above fan discharge clearance.
The chiller must be located outdoors. No ductwork can be connected to the chiller’s
condenser or condenser fans.
If a concrete slab is used, do not connect the slab directly to any building’s
foundation or structure in order to prevent sound transmission.
Locate the slab on a level surface that is above grade to prevent ground water from
entering the chiller cabinet.
