Water Temperature Requirement
and Hydronic Refrigeration

Chilled Water Temperature

Modules are designed for a leaving water temperature
range from 40°F to 62°F. All cataloged modules can operate
safely in this range without the need of special controls or
glycol additives. Leaving water temperatures below 40°F
can result in evaporator suction temperatures below the

freezing point of water. Therefore, a glycol solution additive
is required that will protect the evaporator from freeze ups
at lower operating suction temperatures. The full range of
leaving chiller fl uid using glycol is 20°F to 62°F.
