Chapter 2: Functional Description 2-1 Models Covered in This Manual This manual provides operation, installation, and maintenance instructions for air-, water-and remote air-cooled portable chillers. Model numbers are listed on the serial tag. Make sure you know the model and serial number of your equipment before contacting the manufacturer for parts or service. Our portable chiller models are designated by approximate compressor horsepower (5,7 1/2, 10, 13 and 15 etc) and the cooling m

The refrigerant is compressed in the compressor and flows through the discharge line as a gas to the condenser. There it gives up its heat as it condenses to a liquid in the condenser. An electronic hot gas bypass valve is used to control cooling capacity during intermittent or partial load conditions. This feature contributes substantially to chiller longevity by eliminating excessive cycling of the compressor and providing close temperature control. 2-3 Standard Features Mechanical Featu

High Pressure Cutout This electro-mechanical cutout device opens the compressor control circuit if the refrigeration system compressor discharge pressure exceeds 575 psi.. Note: The high-pressure cutout is a manual reset device typically mounted on the compressor discharge line inside the mechanical cabinet. Call a refrigeration service technician to analyze the problem and reset the control. Low Pressure Cutout (no switch but done through the transducer) There are two pressure transduc

Chapter 3: Installation 3-1 Uncrating All models are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and open-crated on all four sides and top. 1. Pry the crating away from the skid. 2. Use a pry bar to remove the blocks securing the unit to the skid. 3. Lift unit from sides, inserting forklift under the base. The forks must be equidistant from the centerline of the unit and the unit must be balanced on the forks. Lift slowly and only high enough to clear the skid. Use a pry b

3-3 Process Water Connections All of our portable chillers have two chilled water connections. The chilled water supply, labeled “To Process” is the outlet for the chilled water leading to the process being cooled. The chilled water return, labeled “From Process” is the inlet leading from the process back into the chiller to be cooled and re-circulated. All external chilled water connections should be run full size to the process. Flow and pressure information is available in the Append

3-7 Condenser Considerations Water-Cooled Chiller Condensers Water-cooled portable chillers can use city water or tower water as a cooling medium. Make sure that all external piping and connections supplying and discharging water to and from the condenser are full size. You’ll make two connections to the water-cooled condenser: Condenser Water In. The condenser water supply, labeled “Condenser Water In”, is located at the rear of the chiller. It is the inlet for city or tower water. Make

Remote Air-Cooled Chiller Condensers Remote air-cooled portable chillers are shipped with nitrogen holding charge and a full charge of oil (excluding the amount needed for field piping). The remote air condenser is shipped with a dry nitrogen charge. Verify that the holding charge has not been lost prior to installation. If there is no pressure, leak test the unit and repair before installing the interconnecting refrigerant piping. Read this entire section before installation. Note: Piping

leaving water temperature range is also required. See Figure 2 on page 17 for lengths of refrigerant valves and fittings. Liquid Line Sizing. The liquid line should be sized as small as possible while maintaining acceptable pressure drop to minimize the refrigerant charge. Liquid line risers must not exceed 15 feet from the base of the air-cooled condenser. Horizontal runs do not require a pitch. Insulation is not required unless the line is installed in a high ambient area, i.e., boiler r

Refrigerant Charge Determination. The approximate amount of refrigerant charge required by the system varies based on the total length of the refrigerant lines and the size of the chiller. Referring to Figure 5, determine the amount of charge based on the horsepower of the chiller and the amount of charge based on discharge and liquid line sizes and lengths. Add these three numbers together to find the final operating charge. The final operating charge must be verified by running the syste

3-8 Checking Motor Direction All of our portable chillers have their motor rotations properly phased at the factory. If compressors, pumps, or fans are running in reverse rotation, disconnect and lock out the power source and reverse any two power leads into the chiller disconnect switch. Caution! Do not switch leads at the motors, motor starters, or contactors. Three-Phase Compressors Scroll compressors are directionally-dependent and compress in one rotational direction. Reversing rot
