Mounting Positions

WTT Series heat exchangers should be mounted in such a way that there is sufficient room around the heat exchanger to perform maintenance work. It is recommended that WTT heat exchangers be mounted in the vertical position (fig. 1).

Vertical mounting position - recommended
Where space and piping require another position, the following guidelines should be followed. For liquid-to-liquid, single phase applications, the heat exchanger can be mounted in any position that does not create the possibility of trapping air or other gases in the heat exchanger (fig. 2). Therefore, never mount the heat exchanger with the connections pointing down (fig. 3). If the heat exchanger must be mounted with the connections on the side, orient the heat exchanger so that the nozzles connected to the fluid that has the possibility of gas or air entrained is at the top.

Optional positions for single phase only
Do not mount with connections down

For all two-phase applications, the heat exchanger should always be mounted vertically. If this is not possible, contact the factory for recommendations on mounting. A red color label indicates the primary side for liquid-to-liquid applications. A blue color label indicates the refrigerant side for refrigerant applications (fig. 1).
