6.5 - System minimum water volume
Whichever the system, the water loop minimum capacity is given
by the formula:
Capacity = Cap (kW) x N litres
Application N
Normal air conditioning 3,25
Process type cooling 6,5
Where Cap is the nominal system cooling capacity (kW) at the
nominal operating conditions of the installation.
This volume is necessary for stable operation and accurate
temperature control.
It is often necessary to add a buer water tank to the circuit in order
to achieve the required volume. The tank must itself be internally
baed in order to ensure proper mixing of the liquid (water or
brine). Refer to the examples below.

6.6 - Maximum system water volume
Units with hydraulic module incorporate an expansion tank that
limits the water volume. The table below gives the maximum loop
volume for pure water or ethylene glycol with various system
concentrations, as well as the static pressures. If the maximum
volume is insucient, compared to the minimum system water
loop volume, an additional expansion tank must be added to the
system.
