1. Determine the cooling water flow rate within the allowable range as shown in Fig. 3-2.
Always use the proper cooling water that meets the requirement. Keep the cooling
water supply pressure less than 0.7MPaG.

・If the temperature of cooling water is below 5℃, it can cause overloading or a difficulty
in starting the compressor.
・If the temperature of cooling water is below 5℃, it can cause overloading or a difficulty
in starting the compressor.
・If the temperature of cooling water is higher than 32℃, the thermal switch will be
activated due to the overheat and turn off the compressor.

(*)The ground water may contain large amount of total carbonic acid and lower the pH value
excessively. Therefore, if the ground water is used in the transient style, accidents may
occur by corrosion even in a short-term use of the heat exchanger. Ensure that the density
of carbonic acid is less10mg/L. Since the dissolved ratio of total carbonic acid depends on
the temperature and the pressure, analyze the ground water immediately after take it in
without exposing to the atmosphere. Check the water supply whether it is the ground
water or not before use. It is highly recommended to use cooling tower to circulate the
water containing a large amount of carbonic acid.
