Installation
Changing Freezestat or Low Pres- sure Cutout Switches (WPWD/GSWD models ONLY) Each unit has two factory installed low pressure cutout switches and one freezestat. Only one of the low pres- sure cutout switches is connected to the 24 volt control circuit, dependent on which freezestat is being used (i.e. 35°F or 20°F). Both the freezestat and the low pressure cutout are in the lock- out relay circuit. The freezestat moni- tors the temperature of the water leaving the source and load side wa-
Units can be ordered from the factory with either the 35°F or 20°F freezestat option. The 20°F freezestat is ONLY used on closed loop systems with an- tifreeze solution. The 35°F freezestat is used on all other systems. The type of freezestat on a unit can be determined from the appropriate digit in the model number. Digit 11 and/or 12 with a se- lection of 1 is a 35°F freezestat, where- as selection 2 is a 20°F freezestat.
What Freezestat Should Be Applied?
As previously mentioned, every unit is shipped from the factory with two low pressure cutouts installed in the refrig- erant circuit. One of the low pressure cutouts disables the compressor at 35 psig, while the other disables the com- pressor at 7 psig. The 35 psig cutout is used with the 35°F freezestat, while the 7 psig cutout is used with the 20°F freezestat.
Occasionally it will be necessary to change the freezestat in the field. Ex- amples of when this
(1)A unit with a 35°F freezestat is go- ing to be put on a closed loop system with antifreeze. By definition, the unit requires a 20°F freezestat.
(2)A unit with a 20°F freezestat is go- ing to be put on an open well system or a closed loop system with NO anti- freeze solution. By definition, the unit must have a 35°F freezestat installed prior to operation.
The best time to install the freezestat/ low pressure cutout is prior to install- ing the unit. The freezestat is easily ac- cessible from the top service door.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, in- cluding remote disconnects be- fore servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to en- sure the power can not be inad- vertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servic- ing could result in death or seri- ous injury.
Changing a Freezestat and Low Pressure Cutout
The freezestat is located in the top of the
Note: The wires must be moved from one low
pressure cutout to the other.
The low pres-
sure cutouts are located in the insu-
lated re- frigerant lines. The high pressure cutout is locat- ed in the
only pressure cutout located
in this line. Change the wires from
the old low pressure cutout to the new low pressure cutout.
Identifying the Low Pressure Cutouts The 7 psig low pressure cutout is used with a 20°F freezestat. It is installed in the insulated line and is in the piping tee going to the external schrader port. The 35 psig low pressure cutout is used with a 35°F freezestat. It is in- stalled in the insulated line and is not connected to any fittings.
The 395 psig high press cutout is in- stalled in the
If the low pressure cutout is not changed when the freezestat is changed, problems will occur. If the 35 psig low pressure cutout is connected to a 20°F freezestat, the unit will go out repeatedly on the low pressure cutout. If the 7 psig low pressure cutout is used with the 35°F freezestat, no prob- lems will occur as long as the freez- estat is operating normally. However, if the freezestat does fail, the loop wa- ter could freeze before the suction pressure dropped low enough for the 7 psig cutout to take the unit off the line. Also, in a loss of charge situation, the heat exchanger would freeze be- fore the freezestat could take the unit
