Best Mounting:
All Applications
and Vapor
Condensing in Circuit B:
- Eliminates
trapped air
- Both
circuits will drain
- When
used as an evaporator, pipe evaporating liquid in at the bottom.
- When
used to condense vapor in Circuit B, pipe vapor in at top.

Satisfactory Mounting:
Liquid to Liquid Applications
- Air is removed by pumping the
liquid.
- Both circuits will not drain.
- Circuit A connection must be
positioned at the top.
|
Satisfactory Mounting:
Vapor Condensing in Circuit A
- Air in Circuit B is removed by
pumping the liquid.
- Circuit B will not drain
- Can be mounted at any angle but
Circuit A connection must be at the bottom.

Piping: |
|
- All standard connections are tapered
pipe thread. Refer to the model data sheet for connection size.
- The piping connections should
be made to allow the fluids to flow in a counterflow direction
through the heat exchanger. This arrangement with the fluids
flowing in opposite directions is recommended for most heat
transfer applications.
- Pipe the larger flow to Circuit
A, which is the larger of the two circuits, and the smaller
flow to Circuit B, which is the smaller of the two circuits.
This will keep pressure drops to a minimum. When piping viscous
fluids, pipe the more viscous fluid to Circuit A.
