Hi,
You can find the cooling water requirements in the compressor manual.

For the ZR55 I found the following:

Cooling water inlet water temp = below 35 degrees Celsius

Cooling water outlet temp = below 50 degrees Celsius.

Max. cooling water pressure = 7 bar

I also found that for a dT (temp difference) of 15 degrees, the compressor needs a cooling water flow of 0.8 l/s (liters per second ).

Make sure the water is clean, no acids, etc.

All the best,

Cas
