Maximum—ECWT (Entering Condenser WaterTemperature) is 95°F (35°C) without loss of unitcapacity or potential high condensing temperature/pressure shutdown. The water temperature changerate must be less than 2°F (1.1°C) per minute toassure proper chiller operating stability. For highercondenser entering water temperature, consult thefactory.3. Unit Operating Efficiency and trouble freeoperation is greatly influenced by the enteringcondenser water temperature, proper flow, and themean temperature of the condenser water.4. Wide Condenser Water Temperature Ranges forunits operating with 95° ECWT (35°C) and higher,and wider than 10°F (5.6°C) range, increases theunit condensing temperature and decreases theunit efficiency. This situation is usually found inapplications with undersized condenser watertowers.Glycol Freeze ProtectionIf the chiller or fluid piping may be exposed totemperatures below freezing, glycol protection isrecommended if the water is not drained. Therecommended protection is 10°F (5.6°C) below theminimum ambient temperature in the equipment roomand around piping. Use only glycol solutions approvedfor heat exchanger duty. DO NOT use automotive antifreeze.If the equipment is being used for applications below38°F (3.3°C), glycol should be used to prevent freezedamage. The freeze protection level should be 10°F(5.6°C) lower than the leaving brine temperature.Consult factory for use with other low temperaturefluids.5. Narrow Condenser Water TemperatureRanges are desirable for unit efficiency, because itreduces the mean condensing temperature.Table 24ATable 24BEthylene GlycolFREEZE POINT% E.G.By Mass °F °C10 26.2 -3.215 22.2 -5.320 17.9 -7.925 12.7 -10.830 6.7 -14.135 -0.2 -17.840 -8.1 -25.845 -17.5 -27.550 -28.9 -33.8Propylene GlycolFREEZE POINT% P.G.by Mass °F °C10 26.1 -3.315 22.9 -5.120 19.2 -7.225 14.7 -9.730 9.2 -12.835 2.4 -16.640 -6.0 -21.345 -16.1 -27.050 -28.3 -33.824
