Water Treatment
Water quality is of the utmost importance for the proper
care and maintenance of the modular chiller system.
Proper water treatment is a specialized industry and it is
recommended to consult an expert in this field to analyze
the water for compliance with the water quality parameters
listed in Table 1 . The materials exposed to the water are
type 316 stainless steel, pure copper and carbon steel .
Other materials may exist external to the ClimaCool chiller .
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure these materials are
compatible with the treated water . Regular treatment
of the water will increase longevity of your system .
Failure to provide adequate filtration or treatment of
evaporator and condenser water will void the ClimaCool
module’s warranty.
Heavy-Contaminated Water
In such instances whereby the particulates in the water are
excessive, it is recommended to install an intermediate plate
and frame heat exchanger to isolate the ClimaCool chiller
from the building water system .
Cooling Tower
The cooling tower should be located away from sources of
external contaminates such as trees, dust or grass cuttings .
Insect infiltration can be reduced by eliminating lights near
the tower . A periodic visual inspection of the tower system
should be made and contaminates removed as required .
CAUTION
• Excessive Chlorine, Undissolved Solids and
other improper water quality conditions
WILL DAMAGE the internal heat exchanger and
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
• Please refer to the Installation and Operations
Manual for water quality parameters and
maintenance instructions.
