Multistack Glycol Solution Information

Low Temperature Operation with Glycol
In chilled water systems where water temperatures of less than 40F and ambient temperatures of 32 F are likely to occur, it is necessary to add a glycol-based heat transfer fluid to
the system. Both Ethylene and Propylene are available and they offer the same basic freeze and corrosion protection although there are performance differences in the solutions.
Note:
1. Ethylene and propylene glycol ratings are outside the scope of AHRI Standard 550/590 Certifications.
2. The effect of glycol in the condenser is negligible as it tends to mirror the properties of water as its temperature increases. No emphasis on derate on condenser capacity with
glycol is necessary in the selection process.

load and source-sink water. Grooved end connections are provided for
interconnection to six inch standard (6.625 outside diameter) piping with
Victaulic type couplings.
E. Heat Exchangers: Each load and source-sink heat exchanger shall be brazed
plate heat exchangers constructed of 316 stainless steel; designed, tested,
and stamped in accordance with UL code 1995 for 650 psig working pressure
on load and source-sink heat exchangers. Heat exchangers shall be mounted
below the compressor, to eliminate the effect of migration of refrigerant to the
cold evaporator with consequent liquid slugging on start-up.
F. Compressor: Each module shall contain two hermetic scroll compressors
independently circuited and with internal spring isolation mounted to the
module with rubber-in-shear isolators. Each system also includes high discharge
pressure and low suction pressure manual reset safety cut-outs.

parameters:
a. Load Water Entering and Leaving Temperature
b. Source-Sink Water Entering and Leaving Temperature
c. Load Water and Source-Sink Water Flow
4. An out of tolerance indication from these controls or sensors shall cause a
fault indication at the Master Controller and shutdown of that compressor
with the transfer of load requirements to the next available compressor. In
the case of a System Fault the entire heat pump will be shut down. When
a fault occurs, the Master Controller shall record conditions at the time of
the fault and store the data for recall. This information shall be capable of
being recalled through the keypad of the Master Controller and displayed
on the Master Controllers semigraphical display. A history of faults shall be
maintained including date and time of day of each fault (up to the last 20
occurrences).
5. Individual monitoring of leaving water temperatures from each
refrigeration system shall be programmed to protect against heat
exchanger freeze-up.
6. The control system shall monitor entering and leaving water temperatures
to determine system load and select the number of compressor circuits
required to operate. Response times and set points shall be adjustable. The
system shall provide for variable time between compressor sequencing and
temperature sensing, so as to fine tune the heat pump to different existing
building conditions.
7. Optionally, the Heat pump shall be capable of interfacing with the Building
Automation System via an Interoperability Web Portal.
8. The heat pump mode (heating or cooling) shall be selected by an external
dry contact interlock to the Master Controller. If no interlock is present, or
in the event of a reversing valve solenoid failure, the system shall revert to
heating mode.
H. Heat pump shall have a single point power connection and external inputs
and outputs to be compatible with the building management system. Inputs/
Outputs include:
1. Remote Start/Stop
2. Cooling Alarm
I. Each inlet water header shall incorporate a built in 30-mesh in-line strainer
system to prevent heat exchanger fouling.

instructions. After flushing with the detergent and/or dilute acid concentrations
the system loop shall be purged with clean water for at least one hour to ensure
that all residual cleaning chemicals have been flushed out.

Environmentally Friendly Refrigerants

R-410A and R-134a
Refrigerant R-410A and R-134a are widely available, safe, and environmentally friendly refrigerants. R-410A is available in virtually all Multistack systems making hot
water up to 140F and R-134a is available in machines making hot water up to 180F. Good environmental choices!
Environmental Focus
In addition to providing products to deliver reliable comfort and low operating cost, Multistacks products can also reduce your environmental footprint. We are
committed to developing and manufacturing cooling and heating products that can reduce fossil fuel consumption and operate on the refrigerants designed to
protect the environment. Dedicated heat recovery chillers, water-to-water heat pumps and efficiency improvements across our product line are the result of this focus.

Originators

Multistack invented the modular water chiller. It started with a radically simple idea: chiller modules that could be brought into the equipment room one at a time,
through standard doorways and down elevators, to form a fully integrated chiller system. The idea launched a revolution and transformed Multistack into a leader in
the commercial water-chiller industry.

Innovators

Multistack perfected the modular chiller and leads the industry in innovative and environmentally friendly modular solutions. Since founding in the late 1980s,
Multistack has engineered, manufactured, and distributed an impressive array of modular air conditioning firsts: the first on-board strainer, the first modular
automatic blow-down device, the first modular chiller for variable flow, the first modular chiller-heater (heat pump), the first modular heat-recovery chiller, the first
modular air-to-water heat pump, the first modular chiller to utilize MagLev compressor technology, and the first modular chiller to utilize R-410A.

Never the Imitators

Multistack sets the standard in the industry for superior customer service, fast and on time shipment, superior product quality, and new product development. Our
pioneering leadership in environmental issues is well documented. If you want the best, be sure to specify the original Multistack.
