2. Water system capacity: The water system capacity will aect the number of starts/stops of the compressor, as well as
the defrosting eect in heating mode. The minimum water system capacity volume should be met, if not, an energy storage
water tank needs to be installed at the suction port of the water pump to meet requirement.
3. Piping size: It is not allowed to determine the actual pipeline diameter according to the size of the water pipe joint of the
unit ports. The water piping diameter must be designed to ensure the water owrate of the unit.
4. Terminal FCU water owrate: The water owrate at the airside terminal FCUs must be designed by professionals, to
guarantee the water owrate through airside FCUs matches the cooling capacity of the airside terminals.
5. Inlet and outlet pipes: The pipeline must have independent supports and should not be supported by the unit. To avoid
damage to the unit, make sure the inlet and outlet pipes are not installed reversely. The unit inlet pipe must be connected to
the water inlet connector marked “entering water”; The outlet pipe must be connected to the outlet connector marked “leaving
water”.
6. Anti-vibration hose: The connection of the inlet and outlet pipes of the unit must be connected by anti-vibration hoses to
avoid long-distance transmission of noise. If there is an external water pump, the inlet and outlet pipes of the pump must
also be installed with anti-vibration hoses, and make sure water ows into the unit.
7. Water pressure gauge: Pressure gauge and shut-o valve should be installed at the inlet of the entering water pipe
and the outlet of the leaving water pipe. If external water pump is installed, the pressure gauge and shut-o valve are also
needed to install at the inlet of the pump. In this way, it will help to understand the resistance of the water system and the
pump head, monitor and adjust water owrate, and also convenient to cut o the water ow during maintenance.
8. Water lter: A water lter must be installed within 50cm of the water entering pipe of the unit to prevent impurities in the
pipeline from blocking water-side heat exchanger and causing unit failure. The water lter must also be installed at the
inlet of the water pump, and the number of lter mesh holes is 20~40 mesh, to avoid damage to the pump. The water lter
should be installed with the lter screen removal port facing down (the angle between it and the vertical direction shall not
be greater than 30°), to prevent the debris in the lter screen from falling into the lter.
9. Water ow switch: If there is a built-in water ow switch, there is no need to install additional water ow switch.
Otherwise, The water ow switch should be installed on site. The water ow switch must be installed at the water outlet of
the unit with straight distance at least 5 times of the pipe diameter at both the front and rear ends of the water ow switch.
10. Exhaust valve: An automatic exhaust valve should be installed at the highest place of the main supply pipeline and the
main return pipeline of the water system to discharge the air in the water system. The exhaust valve could help the water
owrate of the unit meet the product requirements and avoid noise and damage to the water pump caused by cavitation.
The exhaust valve is generally installed at the top of the connection of between the vertical pipe of the water system and
the horizontal pipeline, and at least 0.5 meters higher than FCU at the highest position. When the exhaust valve is installed
in the horizontal main pipeline, it should be installed on a section of pipe section 2 to 3 times larger than the main pipe, and
there should be at least 4 times the pipe diameter on both sides of the straight pipe, so that the water and air are easy to
separate before discharged through the exhaust valve.
11. Exhaust valve water anti-leakage: Shut o measure for the exhaust device should be considered so that the exhaust
valves are easy to be replaced when they are damaged, or function fails. All the exhaust pipes are recommended to be
connected to the pool and oor drain to avoid leaking water damaging room appliances when function failure or water
leakage of the exhaust device.
12. Expansion water tank: An expansion water tank needs to be installed in the water system to compensate the water
pressure uctuation caused by water temperature change in the water supply system. The gravity expansion tank needs to
be installed at the top of the vertical main pipe of water pump. The water make-up pipe should be connected to the return
pipe of the pump, and there should be an overow device. Alternatively, a pressure-type expansion tank with an automatic
make-up valve and an automatic pressure relief valve can be installed on the main return pipe. The capacity volume of the
expansion tank can be 3% of the total water volume of the air conditioning water system.
13. Operating water pressure: The water pressure of the water-side heat exchanger shall not exceed the maximum working
pressure 1MPa (except for specially designed products) to avoid damage to the water side parts.
14. Two-way/three-way valve installation: Two-way valve or three-way solenoid valve must be installed at the outlet of the
FCU to avoid customer’s complaints of water vibration noise.
15. Two-way valve installation: The water system cannot use two-way solenoid valve only. If two-way valves need to be
