Factory Installed Options
Water Isolation Valves and Flush Ports
Water isolation valves provide isolation to the module for 
maintenance and cleaning of evaporator heat exchanger, 
without increasing unit or bank dimensions, while adjacent 
modules continue normal operation. Optional choice of 
integral manual or motorized valves includes 3/4” fi ll and 
fl ush valves.
Motorized condenser water valves provide head pressure 
regulation for low entering condenser water temperature 
applications (less than 60°F).
Hot Gas Bypass
For normal leaving chilled water temperature set point of 
44°F, verify that the cut-in pressure is set at 110 PSIG. For 
water and glycol systems operating at lower leaving design 
temperatures, cut-in pressure must be fi eld adjusted at a 
approximately 10 PSIG above the equivalent water/glycol 
temperature solution freeze point.Sound Attenuation

Safety Considerations
Prior to installation this manual must be read carefully 
and all instruction understood. Personal injury or product 
damage can occur if the following safety precautions are 
overlooked or ignored. We strongly recommend that you 
follow these safety precautions and avoid the potential 
hazards listed below when operating and maintaining your 
strainer:
1.
After unpacking your strainer, carefully inspect your 
strainer housing, lid assembly and screen for damaged 
or missing parts. Contact ClimaCool’s customer service 
department for any replacement parts. 
2.
The strainer should not be modifi ed or used in a 
manner not consistent with the manufacture’s 
recommendations. If there are any questions regarding 
its application or installations, contact ClimaCool’s 
customer service department.
3.
Absolutely under no conditions should the strainer lid 
or pressure gauges be removed while the strainer is 
pressurized. 
4.
Standard bolted lid models should never exceed 150 PSI; 
V-Band clamp models should never exceed 125 PSI.
5.
Install back-fl ow prevention devices (or check valves) 
both upstream and downstream of the strainer to 
prevent back fl ow or vacuum eff ects which can cause 
damage to the strainer housing or screen.
6.
6. Install properly sized pressure relief valves both 
upstream and downstream of the strainer. This will 
help prevent damage to the strainer and screen in the 
event that water fl ow is stopped abruptly, or if water 
hammering occurs. The pressure relief valves should 
be set to relieve pressure at 1.2 times the strainer’s 
maximum operating pressure (not to exceed the 
maximum rated pressure). Consult your local dealer or 
pressure relief valve manufacturer to obtain properly 
sized valves for your application.
Note: At No Time Should the Internal Pressure Exceed the 
Maximum Rated Pressure of the Strainer.
Strainer Installation Recommendations
We recommend following the guidelines below when 
installing your strainer:
1.
The CS strainer should be placed on a fi rm, supporting 
surface. Failure to do so can cause stress on the weld 
joints. The weight of the CS strainer should not be 
supported by the main water lines connecting it.
2.
The inlet and outlet connections should be securely 
fastened. The arrows clearly depict fl ow direction (see 
Figure 1).
3.
The back-mount pressure gauges should be installed 
in the gauge ports located on the front of the strainer 
body. These gauges will allow you to monitor the 
pressure diff erential across the strainer screen providing 
an indication when the strainer element is clogged and 
requires cleaning.
4.
The CS strainer lid must be securely fastened according 
to the following torque specifi cations to ensure product 
safety and an adequate seal.
