Chapter 3 – Commissioning Procedures
THIS HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR APPLICATIONS
WHERE REFRIGERANTS ARE USED AS THE HEATING SOURCE, OR
WHERE THE PRESSURE IN THE NON-POTABLE SIDE OF THE HEAT
EXCHANGER IS LIKELY TO EXCEED THE PRESSURE IN THE POTABLE SIDE.
DESCRIPTION
The Rheem CrossflowTM Delivery Skid is used to instantaneously
transfer heat from the primary circuit to the secondary or domestic hot
water circuit without the need for further storage. A temperature
controlled variable speed circulator for the primary fluid circuit is used to
regulate the rate of energy transfer to the potable water. The Rheem
Crossflow controls allow heat input up to 90°c to be supplied on the
primary side and accurate, reduced temperature to be delivered on the
potable side. The temperature setting is factory set but can be adjusted
on site as required. The system is factory assembled and furnished with
316L stainless steel manifolds and fittings, the steel frame is fully
welded and hot dip galvanised for superior corrosion resistance. The
Rheem Crossflow is available in four sizes and two of the same size
unit can be connected where further redundancy or greater capacity is
required.
PUMP
The Rheem Crossflow is fitted with a temperature controlled variable
speed pump. There are two options available, these being a single
head pump or a dual head pump to provide duty/standby redundancy.
HEAT EXCHANGE
Each system is supplied with two WaterMark certified, 316L stainless
steel single wall brazed plate-type heat exchangers. Each heat exchanger can be separately isolated and
removed for individual maintenance, thus providing redundancy capability. The heat exchangers exhibit
extremely low pressure loss and are insulated to maximise efficiency.
