IMPORTANT: If your water is out of range, consult a water quality expert.
IMPORTANT: The chilled water system piping and heat exchangers must be drained completely, and then purged using compressed air when storing or transporting at or below freezing temperatures. IMPORTANT: Operating the chilled water system at the higher end of the acceptable range decreases the overall thermal capacity of the POD. Acceptable water quality specifications Water must be maintained per the following acceptable water quality standards. Parameter Range pH 8.
Piping materials Do not use the following interconnecting piping materials in a closed water system: • Oxidizing biocides • Aluminum components • Brass components with high levels of zinc • Non-stainless steel iron components • PVC IMPORTANT: Even though some PVC grade piping materials are designed to handle the expected water pressure, the use of PVC materials should be reviewed and approved by the customer site engineers.
A 1N electrical configuration can be achieved by providing all required electrical feeders from a common power source and from common switchboards, and transformers. A 2N electrical configuration can be achieved by feeding parallel power paths from independent power sources, switchboards, and transformers. IMPORTANT: The required neutral must be provided as part of the 800 A 415VAC Y direct connection to the HP POD 40c G2.
Supported facility connections Environmental control system The ECS developed for the HP water-cooled POD is a stand-alone control system that requires no external connections with an external site system, BMS, public or private Internet sites, cloud, or wireless system to properly control the POD operation. The ECS includes Modbus TCP/IP connections through which a variety of data can be retrieved.
