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.
