External Piping
General Considerations
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the tubing and fittings connected to the Chiller are compatible with the
fluid, temperature, and pressure being used.
• All external piping, tubing, or hoses should be run full size to limit the potential for external pressure drops.
The use of quick-connect fittings is not recommended, as they can cause substantial pressure drops.
• Materials of construction should be compatible with the fluid being used as well as the temperature and
pressure at which the unit will operate.
• Where applicable, always use a back-up wrench when making piping connections to the Chiller.
• Pressure Ratings – Hoses should be able to withstand the highest pressure that they will encounter (100 psi
/ 6.9 bar).
• Flexible Tubing – Avoid tubing that will expand and increase fluid volume when operating at the desired
pressure.
• Hose Diameter – The fittings on the Chiller’s process fluid lines are female 0.5 in NPT. The facility water fluid
inlets and outlets on water-cooled models are female 0.75 inch NPT.
• Facility Water (water-cooled models only) – Should be clean and well maintained. Ideally, the facility water
should be tested monthly to ensure a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Add algaecide if algae growth is
present.
