WATER-SIDED CONNECTIONS
All types of cooling water (tap, well, pond or swimming pool water) can be used for cooling. However,
tap water is preferred because you won’t need to rely on additional electric pumps. Well water contains
clay and iron particles that accumulate on the inner wall of the heat exchanger. The result is that sooner or
later the unit will cool less effectively or not at all. If you use well water, you can install a filter, but such a
solution requires maintenance. A normal 22mm tap water connection has sufficient capacity to continuously
cool three or four These are 3 or 4 OptiClimate 15000 units. We also have suitable solutions for larger
installations when there are problems with the water supply and discharge. In such cases, please contact the
Technical Service department.
Discharge of the condensation water
The unit will also dehumidify the air during cooling. The moisture extracted from the air comes into the condensation
drain. The condensation drain is connected to a sturdy garden hose or a pipeline that does not bend easily. The con-
densation water drips from the hose, which can be connected to the drain pipe. The condensate can also be used
as feed water. The cooling block has been adjusted to prevent metals or oxides from entering the condensate. This is
ideal when the only feed water available is hard water.
The drain pipe of the condensation water may not have loops and may not be put under the water level in a
drum. If the unit is installed at the same level or lower than the drain or sewer, a condensation lift pump can
collect the water. This small lift pump pumps the water through a hose of 9mm to a height of 4 metres into the
drain. Stronger pumps are also available.
The drain to the pump must not be under the water level and the pipe may not have loops as shown abo-
ve. It’s possible that too much air is sucked in through the condensation water pipe causing the condensate
water not to drain properly. Then there is too much resistance in the intake system. Dimension hoses of e.g.
a plenum box as large as possible and ensure that during operation all panels are mounted on the unit. A
special syphon can also be mounted. Ask your dealer.
