Notes
  • Nominal cooling capacity is calculated with 7’C chilled-water supply and 35’C inlet cooling air temperature at system flow rate and pressure
  • Recommended temperature range of chilled fluid: 3’C and 25’C. Use of glycol recommended for set points under 6’C.
  • Temperature difference between inlet and outlet chilled fluid between 4’C and 7’C. Contact us for temperature splits outside of this range
  • All figures are at the rating point of 7c supply in 35c ambient.
  • We recommend the use of R134a when ambient temperatures are expected to reach 42’C+
