4.4 External Water Circuit
The external water circuit shall guarantee
a constant water flow rate through the cir-
culating refrigerant/water heat exchanger
(evaporator) under steady operating condi-
tions and in case of a load variation.
The circuit shall be composed by the following ele-
ments:
h
A circulation pump which can ensure the neces-
sary flow rate and head.
h
The total content of the primary water circuit shall
never be lower than 2.5 lt/kW in terms of refrig-
erating capacity. If the total water volume in the
primary circuit should be unable to reach such a
value, an additional heat-insulated storage tank
should be installed. This tank is intended to avoid
any repetitive start of the compressor.
h
A membrane expansion tank complete with a
safety valve and a drain which shall be visible.
The expansion tank shall be dimensioned
in such a way that it can absorb a 2% ex-
pansion of the total volume of the water in
the plant (exchanger, pipelines, uses and
storage tank, if available). The expansion
tank shall never be insulated when the cir-
culating fluid is not flowing through it.
A differential pressure switch is mounted on 20-35
units as a standard. It will stop the unit whenever it
senses a load loss through the heat exchanger
which may result in a flow rate problem.
A flow switch is supplied for larger units as a stan-
dard.
In addition:
h
Install on/off valves on the lines at the inlet and
outlet of the manifolds of the exchangers (evapo-
rator).
h
Arrange a by-pass complete with an on/off valve
between the manifolds of the heat exchangers.
h
Arrange air vent valves at the high points of the
water lines.
h
Arrange drain points complete with plugs, clocks,
etc. in the proximity of the low points of the water
lines.
h
Insulate the water lines to prevent the heat from
blowing back into the unit.
