Water connections for COOLING WATER SUPPLY and
COOLING WATER DRAIN are:
•¾” NPT (19.1 mm) for 3.9 & 6.7 sq. ft. heat exchangers.
•1" NPT (25.4 mm) for 13, 21, & 27 sq. ft. heat exchangers.
The customer is responsible for conversions to metric standards.
Notes: Always use a backup wrench to support 6017 unit piping when making connections. Make sure all external piping is supported independently of the 6017 unit.
Sterling, Inc. recommends that you have strainers installed on the cooling water inlets and
The 6017 is designed to operate with an open, unrestricted drain line. Steam rapidly expands within the heat exchanger, so any overpressure condition from backpressure or standing columns of water against the drain must be avoided.
If you must use a pipe joint compound, use a compound that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures of your 6017 unit. Always insulate all piping to prevent burn hazards and to retain heat. Make sure insulation is properly rated for maximum operating temperatures of your 6017 unit.
Piping Considerations for Mobile Installations
Because your 6017 unit is not fitted with casters, it should be secured to the floor with the appropriate hardware. You can purchase
