Chiller Setup Help

[Anoop Verma]

Hi all,
I am trying to install a new chiller to my system. I wanted to know the most efficient way to do so. I prefer not to have any lines running directly to my DT. I was thinking of grabbing the inlet from one of the return line to the DT. Also can the chiller be placed in my cabinet? The back of the cabinet is completely open but there is a wall behind the tank and the cabinet doors in the front and side. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I always ran a chiller out side of the sump, a chiller will put off a lot of heat. I kept the chiller next to the stand and plumbed it into the sump.

where are you grabbing the in-feed to the chiller? and then you are returning back into the sump?

Tie into discharge of return pump before going into DT. I'm running 3 1/3 hp chillers, just make sure plenty air circulation. If inside cabinet add a good fan . If my tank. I would have outside cabinet

I always have located my chillers outside. Though I appreciate that not all setups will allow this, getting all that heat out of the house is a good thing and makes the AC not work as hard. Depending on the flow requirements for your chiller, putting it into the main return line is generally best.

I ran a pump in the return section of the sump and that fed the chiller then a line from the chiller to the return section of the sump.
