the values given by the pressure gauges, open one valve and close the other.

Refrigerant Safety Valves

Discharge valves are an option for the RTUB. If installation requires this valve to be mounted, it is mandatory to install two safety valves: one between the compressor and the service valve and the other after the service valve to protect the condenser.

￿CAUTION

The safety valve calibration must not exceed 25 bars.The liquid line must be connected at the inlet to the drier filter which is supplied with a bend blocked by a brazed plug.The connection piping must be correctly dimensioned and installed, because these factors have a substantial impact on the system's performance and reliability.

Water Pressure-Relief Valves

￿CAUTION

To prevent shell damage, install pressure-relief valves in the evaporator water system. Install a water pressure-relief valve in the evaporator inlet piping, between the evaporator and the inlet shutoff valve. Water vessels with close- coupled shutoff valves have a high potential for hydrostatic pressure buildup on a water temperature increase. Refer to applicable codes for relief-valve installation guidelines.

Installing and connecting temperature sensors

General Recommendations Regardless of the type of monitoring sensor required by a particular application, the sensor must always be positioned far enough from the evaporator or condenser to enable the sensor to read a correct temperature for the mixed water.

Install the sensor at 4 o'clock on the water piping to prevent any condensation. When installing standard or optional temperature sensors described in the following paragraphs, comply with the instructions:

Put thermocontact paste in each sensor bulbwell before inserting the sensor. All the temperature sensors installed on site have an identification number and a serial number marked on the part body. Also note that both sensors in each pair have the same serial number.

￿WARNING

To prevent degraded operation due to electrical interference, run the sensor cables in a duct. However, do not lay sensor cables with other cables whose voltage is greater than 30 VAC.

Extension of sensor power cable

A temperature sensor's power cable may not be long enough to reach the UCM. If this is the case for your installation, connect the cable to a junction box installed in a more
