7 SERIES 50Hz 700A11 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Typical open loop piping is shown below. Always maintain
water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing water
control valves at the outlet of the unit to prevent mineral
precipitation. Use a closed, bladder-type expansion tank
to minimize mineral formation due to air exposure. Ensure
proper water flow through the unit by checking pressure
drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it to the
figures in unit capacity data tables in the specification
catalog. 0.095-0.13 L/s of flow per ton of cooling capacity
is recommended in open loop applications.

Discharge water from the unit is not contaminated in any
manner and can be disposed of in various ways, depending
on local codes, i.e. recharge well, storm sewer, drain field,
adjacent stream or pond, etc. Most local codes forbid the use
of sanitary sewer for disposal. Consult your local building and
zoning departments to assure compliance in your area. On
VS systems, a modulating valve, as shown in figure 9a is the
best choice to limit water consumption. The WWKVS well
water kit with modulating valve is the recommended setup
for open loop applications with variable speed products.

NOTE: For open loop/groundwater systems or systems
that do not contain an antifreeze solution, set SW2-Switch
#1 to the “WELL” (-1.1°C) position. (Refer to the DIP Switch
Settings in the Aurora Control section.) Slow opening/
closing solenoid valves (type VM or V) or modulating
valves are recommended to eliminate water hammer.

Modulating Water Valve Setup

When using a modulating water valve (23P529-01) the use
of an AID Tool will be necessary to adjust minimum and
maximum flow rates. The factory default is: minimum=50%
and maximum=100% flow levels. See the 7 Series Variable
Speed Pump Setup and Modulating Water Valve Setup
instructions within the Unit Startup section which is located
in the back of this manual. See Recommended Minimum
and Maximum Flow Rates table. Always ensure that there is
adequate flow for the heat pump. A modulating water valve
is preferred on variable speed system to conserve water.
