process applications. Refer to application information in Prod-
uct Data literature for details.
FLOW RATE REQUIREMENTS — Standard chillers should
be applied with nominal flow rates within those listed in the
Evaporator and Condenser Flow Rates table. Higher or lower
flow rates are permissible to obtain lower or higher tempera-
ture rises. Minimum flow rates must be exceeded to assure
turbulent flow and proper heat transfer in the cooler. See Table
36. See Fig. 27-37 for cooler pressure drop curves.
Consult application data section in the Product Data
literature and job design requirements to determine flow rate
requirements for a particular installation.
Table 36 — Evaporator and Condenser Flow Rates
*Maximum condenser fluid temperature shown for standard condensing
option. High condensing or heat machine option may have leaving fluid tem-
peratures up to 140 F (60 C) and entering up to 128 F (53.3 C).
CAUTION
Operation below minimum flow rate could generate
alarms, which could result in damage to the cooler.
