3. Disinfection the water loop with solutions
containing sodium hypochlorite.

Chlorides will result in a premature failure
of the condenser.

Failure of the condenser as a result of
chemical corrosion is excluded from
coverage under AAON warranties and the
heat exchanger manufacturer warranties.

Failure of the condenser will allow water to
enter the refrigerant circuit and will cause
extensive damage to the refrigerant circuit
components. Any damage to the equipment
as a result of condenser failure from
chemical corrosion due the fluid in the
condenser is excluded from coverage under
AAON warranties and the heat exchanger
manufacturer warranties.









































Freezing Water in the Heat Exchanger
This product contains one or more
refrigerant-to-water heat exchangers. A
refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger contains
refrigerant in one passage and water in
another passage. Water is subject to freezing
at 32°F. When water freezes in a heat
exchanger significant forces are exerted on
the components of the heat exchanger where
the water is confined.

















Unit is capable of operating with Entering
Water Temperatures (EWT) as low as 50°F
during heat pump heating mode without the


Cleaning the cooling tower or
condenser water loop with harsh
chemicals such as hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid), chlorine or other
chlorides, can damage the
refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger.
Care should be taken to avoid
allowing chemicals to enter the
refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger.
See Appendix A - Heat Exchanger
Corrosion Resistance for more
information.

CAUTION


WATER FREEZING


Failure of the condenser due to
freezing will allow water to enter the
refrigerant circuit and will cause
extensive damage to the refrigerant
circuit components. Any damage to
the equipment as a result of water
freezing in the condenser is excluded
from coverage under AAON
warranties and the heat exchanger
manufacturer warranties.

WARNING


OPEN LOOP APPLICATIONS


SMO 254 brazed plated refrigerant-
to-water heat exchangers are
recommended with all open loop
applications. Failure to use a SMO
254 heat exchanger may result in
premature failure of your system and
possible voiding of the warranty.
