SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
Check for Piping Alignment
Upon completion of piping, a connection in each line
as close to the unit as possible should be opened, by
removing the flange bolts or coupling and checked for
piping alignment. If any of the bolts are bound in their
holes, or if the connection springs out of alignment, the
misalignment must be corrected by properly support-
ing the piping or by applying heat to anneal the pipe.
If the piping is annealed to relieve stress,
the inside of the pipe must be cleaned of
scale before it is nally bolted in place.
EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER WATER
PIPING
The evaporator and condenser liquid heads of chiller
have nozzles which are grooved, suitable for welding
150 psig DWP flanges or the use of Victaulic cou-
plings. Factory mounted flanges are optional.
The nozzles and water pass arrangements are furnished
in accordance with the job requirements (see product
drawings furnished with the job). Standard units are
designed for 150 psig DWP on the water side. If job
requirements are for greater than 150 psig DWP, check
the unit data plate before applying pressure to evapora-
tor or condenser to determine if the chiller has provi-
sions for the required DWP.
Inlet and outlet connections are identified by labels
placed adjacent to each nozzle.
Chilled Water
Foreign objects which could lodge in, or block flow
through, the evaporator and condenser tubes must be
kept out of the water circuit. All water piping must be
cleaned or flushed before being connected to the chiller
pumps, or other equipment.
Permanent Strainers
Permanent strainers are supplied by others and are re-
quired in both the evaporator and condenser water cir-
cuits to protect the chiller as well as the pumps, tower
spray nozzles, chilled water coils and controls, etc. The
strainer must be installed in the entering chilled water
line, directly upstream of the chiller.
Water piping circuits should be arranged so that the
pumps discharge through the chiller, and should be
controlled as necessary to maintain essentially constant
chilled and condenser water flows through the unit at
all load conditions.
If pumps discharge through the chiller, the strainer
may be located upstream from pumps to protect both
pump and chiller. (Piping between strainer, pump and
chiller must be very carefully cleaned before start-up.)
If pumps are remotely installed from chiller, strainers
should be located directly upstream of the chiller.
