General Installation Information
CLW QUAD SERIES CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Safety Considerations
Installing and servicing air conditioning and heating
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and
electrical components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair or service heating and air
conditioning equipment. When working on heating and
air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other
safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have
fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
NOTE: Before installing, check voltage of unit(s) to ensure
proper voltage.
WARNING: Before performing service or
maintenance operations on the system, turn off
main power switches to the unit. Electrical shock
could cause serious personal injury.
Application
Units are not intended for heating domestic (potable water)
by direct coupling. If used for this type of application, a
secondary heat exchanger must be used.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “Up” orientation as indicated by
the labels on the unit packaging. When the equipment
is received, all items should be carefully checked against
the bill of lading to ensure that all crates and cartons
have been received in good condition. Examine units for
shipping damage, removing unit packaging if necessary
to properly inspect unit. Units in question should also
be internally inspected. If any damage is observed, the
carrier should make the proper notation on delivery receipt
acknowledging the damage. Units are to be stored in a
location that provides adequate protection from dirt, debris
and moisture.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage, do not
leave the system filled in a building without heat
during cold weather, unless adequate freeze
protection levels of antifreeze are used. Heat
exchangers do not fully drain and will freeze
unless protected, causing permanent damage.
Unit Location
Provide sufficient room to make water and electrical
connections. If the unit is located in a confined space,
provisions must be made for unit servicing. Locate the
unit in an indoor area that allows easy removal of the
access panels and has enough space for service personnel
to perform maintenance or repair. These units are not
approved for outdoor installation and, therefore, must be
installed inside the structure being conditioned. Do not
locate units in areas subject to freezing conditions.
WARNING: Do not store or install units in
corrosive environments or in locations subject
to temperature or humidity extremes (e.g. attics,
garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions and
high temperature or humidity can significantly
reduce performance, reliability, and service life.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage and
possible voiding of warranty, be sure that
properly sized strainers are installed upstream
of both brazed plate heat exchangers to protect
them against particles in the fluid.
Unpacking the Unit
Remove the stretch warp and protective cardboard from
the unit. Where applicable, remove any additional crating or
bracketing and discard.
Units are setup to be side picked using a fork lift. Some
units include pick bars allowing for picking from the end
with required fork lengths. Note unit labels and markings
for safe picking points. Do not pick the unit up from points
not specified and keep the unit level during transport and
handling. Using improper equipment handling methods can
result in damage and/or void the warranty.

Field Connected Water Piping
CLW QUAD SERIES CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL
General
System piping should be kept as simple as possible to
minimize the pressure drop, but hand valves should be field
installed to facilitate unit servicing. The piping installation
should provide service personnel with the ability to measure
and/or monitor water temperatures and pressures.
Source and load fluid connections are provided with 4-inch
[10.2cm] Victaulic grooved nipples. Each nipple will also
have a PT port installed for test and balance purposes.
It will be the installing contractor’s responsibility to
adequately support incoming piping to avoid damage to the
unit’s piping or heat exchangers. The water lines should be
routed so as not to interfere with access to the unit.
For any installation where the transmission of vibration
through the piping connections could cause unacceptable
noise levels in occupied spaces it is important to provide
adequate vibration damping. One method is to use the
optional Adapter Hose Kit (kit number TKC16S-4). This Kit
consists of four pieces of a braided stainless steel flexible
hose with a 4” Victaulic connection on one end and a 4”
MPT connection with pipe union on the other. Overall length
of each piece is 18”.
NOTE: Units are factory run-tested using propylene
glycol. Prior to connecting piping to unit, thoroughly flush
heat exchangers.

CLW QUAD SERIES CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Field Connected Water Piping cont.
Before final connection to the unit, the supply and return
hose kits must be connected to each other, bypassing
the unit, and the system flushed to remove dirt, piping
chips and other foreign material. Normally, a combination
balancing and close-off (ball) valve is installed at the return,
and a rated gate or ball valve is installed at the supply. The
return valve can be adjusted to obtain the proper water
flow. The valves allow the unit to be removed for servicing.
The proper water flow must be delivered to each unit
whenever the unit heats or cools. The proper flow rate
cannot be accurately set without measuring the water
pressure drop through the refrigerant-to-water heat
exchanger. A 3 GPM flow rate per ton [0.054 LPS per kW]
of cooling capacity (2.25 GPM per ton [0.0404 LPS per
kW] minimum) is required.
NOTE: The placement and connection of the water
circulating pump(s) must be taken into consideration prior
to designing the final water piping systems.
Closed Loop Tower/Boiler Systems
The water loop is usually maintained between 60°F [15.5°C]
and 90°F [32.2°C] for proper heating and cooling operation.
This is accomplished with a cooling tower and a boiler.
Earth Coupled Systems
All supply and return water piping should be insulated to
prevent excess condensation from forming on the water
lines. Ensure pumping system is capable of providing
adequate flow rate at the system pressure drop, 3.0 GPM
per ton [0.054 LPS per kW] (source side) is recommended.
Antifreeze in the loop is strongly recommended.
To reject excess heat from the condenser water loop, the
use of a closed-circuit evaporative cooler or an open type
cooling tower with a secondary heat exchanger between
the tower and the condenser water loop is recommended.
If an open type cooling tower is used without a secondary
heat exchanger, continuous chemical treatment and filtering
of the water must be performed to ensure the water is free
from damaging materials.
CAUTION: Water piping exposed to outside
temperature may be subject to freezing.
Open Loop Well Water Systems
Installation of an open loop system is not recommended
without using a secondary heat exchanger unless water
quality guidelines are met.

Water Quality
CLW QUAD SERIES CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL
General
Commercial chiller systems may be successfully applied in a
wide range of commercial and industrial applications. It is the
responsibility of the system designer and installing contractor
to ensure that acceptable water quality is present and that all
applicable codes have been met in these installations.
Water Treatment
Do not use untreated or improperly treated water. Equipment
damage may occur. The use of improperly treated or
untreated water in this equipment may result in scaling,
erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. The services of a qualified
water treatment specialist should be engaged to determine
what treatment, if any, is required. The product warranty
specifically excludes liability for corrosion, erosion or
deterioration of equipment.
The heat exchangers in the units are 316 stainless steel plates
with copper brazing. The water piping in the heat exchanger
is steel. There may be other materials in the building’s piping
system that the designer may need to take into consideration
when deciding the parameters of the water quality.
If an antifreeze or water treatment solution is to be used, the
designer should confirm it does not have a detrimental effect
on the materials in the system.
Contaminated Water
In applications where the water quality cannot be held to
prescribed limits, the use of a secondary or intermediate heat
exchanger is recommended to separate the unit from the
contaminated water.
The following table outlines the water quality guidelines
for unit heat exchangers. If these conditions are exceeded,
a secondary heat exchanger is required. Failure to supply
a secondary heat exchanger where needed will result in a
warranty exclusion for primary heat exchanger corrosion or
failure.
Strainers
These units must have properly sized strainers upstream of
both brazed plate heat exchangers to protect them against
particles in the fluid. Failure to install proper stainers and
perform regular service can result in serious damage to the
unit, and cause degraded performance, reduced operating
life and failed compressors. Improper installation of the unit
(which includes not having proper strainers to protect the
heat exchangers) can also result in voiding the warranty.
Field supplied strainers with 20-40 mesh (530-1060 microns)
are recommended, with 30 mesh (800 microns) being the
optimum choice. The strainers selected should have a mesh
open area of at least 6 square inches (39 square centimeters)
for each unit being serviced by the strainer. Using strainers
with a smaller amount of open area will result in the need for
more frequent cleaning.
Strainers should be selected on the basis of acceptable
pressure drop, and not on pipe diameter. The strainers
selected should have a pressure drop at the nominal flow rate
of the units; low enough to be within the pumping capacity of
the pump being used.
WARNING: Must have intermediate heat
exchanger when used in pool applications.
