A. The diagrams below show the components recommended for our QBE chillers, depending on whether the tank is non-pressurized (i.e., “open” or “atmospheric” tank) or pressurized (“closed” tank). Refer to the appropriate unit’s user manual as some of these components may be factory installed or shipped loose for field installation. The user manual also provides additional model-specific details and recommendations.

A. Glycol must be used in applications where the chiller is installed outdoors or when fluid temperatures below freezing are required. The freezing point of the water-glycol solution depends on the type and concentration of glycol, and whether or not the glycol contains inhibitors for corrosion protection. The table below provides a rough guide of the ethylene glycol concentration required for various ambient or operating temperatures. Check with your glycol supplier to ensure your system has adequate freeze protection. Choose a glycol concentration that results in a freezing point of several degrees below the lowest anticipated ambient or operating temperature.

Temperature (°C) 0 -5 -10 -12 -15
Temperature (°F) 32 23 14 10.4 5
Ethylene glycol (% by volume) 10 15 20 25 30

A. Install a buck-boost transformer to “boost” the 208/1/60 power supply to the 230/1/60 that the chiller requires. Contact Chase Cooling Systems or a certified electrician for proper transformer selection.
