In which scenario is a water shutoff valve permitted on the condenser outlet?

A water shutoff valve on the condenser outlet is permitted when two or more components are served in parallel from a common water supply. In this scenario, having a shutoff valve allows for easier isolation and maintenance of individual components without disrupting the entire system. It is essential for ensuring that the other systems can continue to operate while repairs or maintenance are conducted on one unit.

This practice aligns with industry standards for managing water flow and system efficiency, particularly in complex setups where multiple systems share resources. Importantly, the configuration avoids potential issues related to pressure and flow that can arise if the shutoff were to be applied in less appropriate circumstances, ensuring safety and operational integrity during service interventions.
