The design of the unit-to-process hook up is key to optimizing the capability of the heating/cooling
system. Selecting proper pipe IDʼs, minimum run lengths, minimum elbows, tees, etc. are all important to creating a
low pressure drop... thus a high flow rate... installation.
This diagram schematically contains piping and valving details which may not be needed in all cases. However, for
molding installations requiring maximum flexibility, a relatively minor increase in original piping costs can have great
efficiency paybacks in the future.
Select pipe sizes for 5-7 feet per second flow velocity and 5-10 psi pressure drop. Consult the engineering
department for assistance when needed.
