If water is used as a cooling agent, the cooling unit is suitable for indoor
use only with the ambient temperature not below 0 °C.
If antifreezing solution, for example, ethylene glycol solution, is used as
a cooling agent, the cooling unit is suitable for outdoor use as well.

How to use water heater diagrams.
Sample parameters: Air flow = 7000 m³/h
The air flow is 7000 m³/h and the air speed in the cooling 0.2 0.6 1.0 1.4 1.8 2.2 2.6 3.0
unit is 4.1 m/s . Water flow through the coil [l/s]

• To calculate the coldest air temperature find the
intersection point of the air flow line  with the rated outer
summer temperature shown in blue line (e.g., +32 °C) and
draw the line  to the left until it crosses the outdoor air
humidity curve (e.g. 50 %). From this point draw a vertical
line to the supply air temperature downstream of the
COOLERS
• To calculate the power of the cooling unit find the
intersection point of the air flow  with the rated summer
temperature (e.g., +32 °C) and draw the line  to the right until
it crosses the air humidity curve (e.g., 50 %). From this point
draw a vertical line to the cooling unit power axis (52 kW) .
• To calculate the required water flow in the cooling unit
prolong this line  downwards to the water flow axis (2.05 l/s).
• To calculate the water pressure drop in the cooling unit
find the intersection point of the line  with the pressure
loss curve and prolong the line  to the right on the water
pressure axis (37 kPa).
