1. General Description of Applications
The GSTE-60, GSTE-80 and GSTE-119 Storage Water Heaters are applied to the following
EarthLinked
®
systems. Installation instructions for each of these applications follow.
• Earthlinked
®
Commercial Water Heating Applications providing heated potable
water from the compressor unit and delivered to a storage water heater, where reserve
electric heating is required if the compressor unit is out of service. The electric heat
would be activated manually at the breaker if the compressor unit is taken off line. This
application is detailed in Section 2.
• EarthLinked
®
Domestic Water Heating Applications utilizing the Domestic Water
Module (DWM) providing heated potable water from the DWM and delivered to a
storage water heater, where reserve electric heating element is required if the
compressor unit is out of service. The electric heat would be activated manually at the
breaker if the compressor unit is taken off line. This application is detailed in Section 3.
• EarthLinked
®
Desuperheater Water Heating Applications utilizing the SD
Compressor Unit (equipped with a desuperheater) or the Model DSH-1872
Desuperheater Kit applied to an SC or SW compressor unit providing heated
potable water to supplement the standard electric storage water heater.In this
application, the desuperheater operates to heat water when the EarthLinked
®
Heating
and Cooling System is operating in cooling mode. The desuperheater functions to
supplement, but not replace, the water being heated by the standard storage water
heater. This application is detailed in Section 4.
• EarthLinked
®
Hydronic Heating and Chilled water Cooling Applications utilizing
the Hydronic Water Module (HWM) providing heated hydronic water solution from
the HWM and delivered to the storage water heater (the primary circuit) where an
electric heating element supplements the heating of the hydronic water solution as a
function of outdoor temperature, controlled by an outdoor thermostat. This application is
detailed in Section 5.
The EarthLinked
®
Model GSTE Storage Water Heater description appears in Figure 1. In
addition to the storage water heater, temperature control Model HHK-1872 is required for
commercial water heating, domestic water heating and radiant panel hydronic heating
applications; and the temperature control Model CWK-1872 is required for chilled water cooling
applications.
