Issue:
Is the refrigerant in the tubes or outside the tubes of the evaporator?
Resolution:
RTAC, RTWD, RTUD and RTHD
The RTAC, RTWD, RTUD and RTHD utilize a falling film evaporator design which has water inside the tube side and refrigerant shell side.
RTAE and RTAF
The RTAE and RTAF utilize a CHIL evaporator design which like the falling film design has water inside the tube and refrigerant shell side.
RTWA, RTWA, RTUA:
The RTWA evaporator utilizes a DX Evaporator design, therefore, the refrigerant is inside the tubes of the evaporator and the water is on the outside.
The condenser is opposite the evaporator or flooded, meaning the refrigerant is outside the tubes of the condenser and the water is inside the tubes.
