CAUTION
The reservoir tank must be vented to prevent pressurization.
A pressurized reservoir could rupture, allowing hot fluid
to escape and become a potential fire and slip hazard.
Note: Heat transfer fluids expand when heated. Expansion rates
vary, depending on fluid types and temperatures. For more
information on expansion rates, refer to specification
information for the heat transfer fluid you select.
Generally, most heat transfer fluids expand at the rate of
2.5% for every increase of 50°F/°C from temperatures
above 60°F (16°C).

Connect the COOLING WATER SUPPLY to
your plant water supply. Connect the
COOLING WATER DRAIN line to an open
drain, or to the return line of your central
water system. If returning to a central water
system, use a condensate/return tank to
avoid a standing water column on the heat
exchanger drain line.
