Preparing for Installation
Plan the location for the chiller and prepare the area properly.
Position the chiller as close to the process machine as possible. Place the chiller in
position near the process machine so that coolant lines can be connected from the
process machine to the chiller and back.
Make sure the area where the chiller is installed has:
❒❒
A grounded power source.
Check the chiller’s serial tag for the correct amps, voltage, phase and
cycle. All wiring should be completed by a qualified technician and
comply with your region’s electrical codes.
❒❒
Clearance for safe operation and maintenance.
Ensure there is 2 ft {0.6 m} of clearance at the air intake and 2 ft
{0.6 m} of clearance at the exhaust discharge for proper operation. Air
flow is generated by the motor driven fan. Air flow is from the outside
of the chiller, through the condenser and exhausted through the unit.
Exhaust air can not be ducted on motor driven fan models.
Position the locking casters to prevent the chiller from moving. For
maintenance and servicing, be sure there is enough clearance to
remove all access panels completely.
❒❒
Available water source.
Ensure water make-up source is plumbed to the chiller’s installation
location. High points in the plumbing require vent valves; low points
require drain valves.
3-4 l Installation
NOTE: Models must be posi-
tioned so that the condenser
air inlet is no warmer than
95°F {35°C} and the condenser
air outlet is not blocked or
restricted in any way.

from heat producing equip-
ment. These items will affect
ambient air conditions and the
performance of the chiller.
