Other Water System Components Selection
Component Selection Method
Gate Valve Selection based on the water pipe diamater.
Strainer To filter solid particles in water system.
Normally sized at 60 mesh and above.
Check Valve Installed at oulet pipe of water pump to prevent water flushback.
Selection based on the water pipe diameter.
Bypass Valve Installed in between chilled water supply and return pipes. For usage
during piping cleaning work.
Thermometer For inspection of unit operation. Measurement range from 0 ~ 100˚C.
Water Pump Volume = L*1.1(L-Water Flow Rate)
Pump distance = [Unit Pressure Drop + Longest Pipe
Length*(2%~5%) + Biggest Pressure Drop from Air-Side Products] * 1.1
Automatic Air Vent Installed at highest point of piping system, to release air trapped in water system.
Expansion Tank
Installed at highest point of water return pipe, to store excess water
from the system to balance out the water pressure and to add water
to the system when necessary. (VC= System Volume)
Tank Volume, V = (0.03~0.034)VC
Flow Switch
ThefollowingguidelinesmustbetakenintoconsiderationforproperoperationduringtheFlowSwitchinstallation:
Entering and leaving water temperature sensor on main
water supply and return.
The entering and leaving water temperature sensor are connecting to the
TH6 and TH5 of the master unit. Insert the sensor and sensor coil bracket
intothemainwatersupplyandreturnasshowninthediagram:
