State the maximum letdown flow rate.
Do not exceed maximum design letdown flow rate of 150 gpm.
Is it better to raise the LDHX outlet temp set-point to a little above 100F or to let NC flow through the LDHX exceed 1500 gpm to try and maintain 100F?
The maximum operating NC flowrate of 1500 gpm should never be exceeded to maintain a lower LDHX outlet temp. of 100F. The set point should be raised to 120F before letting NC flow go above 1500 gpm through the LDHX.
