6.4. Water control
CAUTION:
When industrial water is applied for chilled water and condenser water, industrial water rarely causes deposits of scales or
other foreign substances on equipment. However, well water or river water may in most cases contain suspended solid matter,
organic matter, and scales in great quantities. Therefore, such water should be subjected to ltration or softening treatment with
chemicals before application as chilled water.
It is also necessary to analyse the quality of water by checking pH, electrical conductivity, ammonia ion content, sulphur content,
and others, and to utilise industrial water only if problem is encountered through these check.
The following is the recommended standard water quality.

2. The value showed in “{ }” are for reference only according to the former unit.
6.5. Refrigerant piping
6.5.1. Piping Connection
The refrigerant piping between the water chiller, and the remote condenser should be designed by using the
following chart.
