Plumbing Considerations
A number of plumbing factors should be considered when installing the HP MCS:
• Flow rate and pressure capacity of chilled water plant input to the design of the facility feed line
and dedicated water loop pipe diameters
• Material compatibility within piping system to minimize the potential for electrochemical
corrosion and thus should be of a corrosion-resistant type
• Minimization of elbows and other restrictions that increase flow resistance
• Insulation of piping to minimize risk of condensation and reduce incidental heating of supplied
chilled water
• Availability of a floor drain or reclamation system to capture system condensation
• Structural securing of piping to support weight of distribution network filled with water
• Water quality management, including particulate filtration, treatment, and flushing provisions,
with isolation valves for service requirements
• Availability of and access to a data center leak detection system
• Water shut off and bypass valves (allowing system flushing) are highly recommended for the inlet
and outlet of each HP MCS
• Air vents installed at the highest point in the pipe system (each HP MCS has an air vent, but
additional vents in the supply piping system should be considered)
