Cascade Chill Water Chill Water Outlet Chill Water Inlet mcum High Pressure Switch Chill Water Option The Chill Water option allows the 30E Cascade to use cool water to remove the heat from the hot compressed gas from the compressor instead of air cooling the gas With this option there is much less heat dissipated into the room than with an air cooled unit The chill water removes the heat The 30E Cascade also runs much quieter In order to utilize this feature you must have a chill water system and plumbing to that system If your system has a chill water cooling option this will have to be connected to your facilities chill water system See the Site Requirements page for flow rates and water temperatures The inlet and outlet are 7 7 male NPT Use flexible tubing and attach it with hose clamps Note If the chill water system becomes clogged it will cause a high pressure switch to trip see figure above This switch must be manually reset by removing the louvered panel and pressing the red button on the top of the blue body high pressure switch Before resetting this switch check the water lines to and from the system and clear any restrictions Water Recirculation Option A water recirculation option can be provided for sites that do not have a water drain available This option consists of a small sump pump which is attached to the water drain and a larger water holding tank As water collec
