WATER TREATMENT
Proper water treatment is a specialized industry We recommend
consulting an expert in this eld to analyze the water for
compliance with the water quality parameters listed in Table 1
below The material used in the ClimaCool chiller exposed to the
water are type 316 stainless steel, pure copper, and carbon steel
Other materials may exist external to the ClimaCool chiller It is
the users responsibility to ensure these materials are compatible
with the treated water Failure to provide proper water quality
will void the ClimaCool module’s warranty NOTE: For warranty,
proof of monthly water testing results showing compliance to
Table 1 Water Quality Parameters is required Failure to provide
proper water quality will void the ClimaCool module’s warranty
It is further recommended to seek an experts advice to specify
the appropriate water treatment required Typical additives to
hydronic systems include rust inhibitors, scaling preventative,
antimicrobial growth agents, and algae preventatives Anti-freeze
solutions may also be used to lower the freezing point
Heavily-Contaminated Water
In such instances whereby the particulates in the water are
excessive it is recommended to install an intermediate plate &
frame heat exchanger to isolate the ClimaCool chiller from the
building water system
Other Considerations
The following considerations are listed to help achieve system
longevity
Cooling Tower
The cooling tower should be located away from sources of
external contaminates such as trees, dust, or grass cuttings Insect
inltration can be reduced by eliminating lights near the tower
A periodic visual inspection of the tower system should be made
and contaminates removed as required
