Application data
Vent and drain connections
All vent and drain connections are found on the waterbox
covers. Connection size is
3
⁄
4
in. FPT.
Provide high points of the machine piping system with
vents and the low points with drains. If shutoff valves are
provided in the main water pipes near the unit, a minimum
amount of system water is lost when the heat exchangers
are drained.
It is recommended that pressure gages be provided at
points of entering and leaving water to measure pressure
drop through the heat exchanger. Gages may be installed
as shown in the table below. Pressure gages installed at the
vent and drain connections do not include nozzle pressure
losses.
Use a reliable manometer to measure pressure differen-
tial when determining water flow. Regular gages are insen-
sitive and do not provide an accurate measurement of flow
conditions.

Range of application
The 16JB single effect absorption chiller is designed for
standard waterchilling applications of108 to 680tons (380
to 2,392 kW) at standard ARI rating conditions.
ASME stamping
The water side of the 16JB054 (and larger) absorbers and
the 16JB061 (and larger) evaporators shall carry the ASME
Section VIII ‘‘U’’ stamp. In addition, the water side of all
16JB hot water generators shall also be stamped.
Rupture disk piping
The 16JB hot water generator is equipped with a rupture
disk. It is recommended that piping from the rupture disk
be routed to appropriate areas away from the machine in
accordance with Carrier’s written installation instructions,
the latest version of ANSI/ASHRAE-15 (American Na-
tional StandardsInstitute/American Society ofHeating, Re-
frigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers), and any local
jurisdictional requirements that may apply.Piping should be
adequately supported and the proper fittings should be pro-
vided to allow periodic inspection of the disk. Refer to
Carrier 16JB certified drawings for the exact location of the
rupture disk on the chiller.

Service access
To perform routine maintenance, allow 3 ft (1 m) clearance
on all sidesof machine and 6 in. (150mm) above the chiller.
Tube removal space equal to the overall length of the unit
should be provided on either end of the 16JB.
