SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Screw liquid chillers are designed to provide safe and reli-
able service when operated within design specifications. When
operating this equipment, use good judgment and safety pre-
cautions to avoid damage to equipment and property or in-
jury to personnel.
Be sure you understand and follow the procedures and safety
precautions contained in the machine instructions, as well
as those listed in this guide.
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building. Outlet from
rupture disc or relief valve must be vented outdoors in accordance with
the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE 15 (American National Standards
Institute, American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Condi-
tioning Engineers), latest edition. The accumulation of refrigerant in an
enclosed space can displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation.
PROVIDE adequate ventilation in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE 15,
especially for enclosed and low overhead spaces. Inhalation of high
concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregularities,
unconsciousness, or death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor is heavier than
air and reduces the amount of oxygen available for breathing. Product
causes eye and skin irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.
DO NOT USE OXYGEN to purge lines or to pressurize a machine for
any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil, grease, and other
common substances.
NEVER EXCEED specified test pressures. VERIFY the allowable test
pressure by checking the instruction literature and the design pressures
on the equipment nameplate.
DO NOT USE air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or dry
nitrogen.
DO NOT VALVE OFF any safety device.
BE SURE that all pressure relief devices are properly installed and func-
tioning before operating any machine.
DO NOT WELD OR FLAMECUT any refrigerant line or vessel until
all refrigerant (liquid and vapor) has been removed from chiller. Traces
of vapor should be displaced with dry air or nitrogen and the work area
should be well ventilated. Refrigerant in contact with an open flame
produces toxic gases.
DO NOT USE eyebolts or eyebolt holes to rig machine sections or the
entire assembly.
DO NOT work on high-voltage equipment unless you are a qualified
electrician.
DO NOT WORK ON electrical components, including control centers,
switches, starters, or oil heater (if applicable) until you are sure ALL
POWER IS OFF and no residual voltage can leak from capacitors or
solid-state components.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG electrical circuits during servicing. IF WORK
IS INTERRUPTED, confirm that all circuits are deenergized before
resuming work.
DO NOT syphon refrigerant.
AVOID SPILLING liquid refrigerant on skin or getting it into the eyes.
USE SAFETY GOGGLES. Wash any spills from the skin with soap
and water. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
EYES with water and consult a physician.
NEVER APPLY an open flame or live steam to a refrigerant cylinder.
Dangerous over pressure can result. When it is necessary to heat re-
frigerant, use only warm (110 F [43 C]) water.
DO NOT REUSE disposable (nonreturnable) cylinders or attempt to
refill them. It is DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL. When cylinder is emp-
tied, evacuate remaining gas pressure, loosen the collar, and unscrew
and discard the valve stem. DO NOT INCINERATE.
CHECK THE REFRIGERANT TYPE before adding refrigerant to the
machine. The introduction of the wrong refrigerant can cause damage
or malfunction to this machine.
Operation of this equipment with refrigerants other than those cited
herein should comply with ANSI/ASHRAE 15 (latest edition). Contact
Carrier for further information on use of this machine with other
refrigerants.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE fittings, covers, etc., while ma-
chine is under pressure or while machine is running. Be sure pressure
is at 0 psig (0 kPa) before breaking any refrigerant connection.
CAREFULLY INSPECT all relief devices, rupture discs, and other re-
lief devices AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. If machine operates in a cor-
rosive atmosphere, inspect the devices at more frequent intervals.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR RECONDITION any relief de-
vice when corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt, scale,
etc.) is found within the valve body or mechanism. Replace the
device.
DO NOT install relief devices in series or backwards.
USE CARE when working near or in line with a compressed spring.
Sudden release of the spring can cause it and objects in its path to act
as projectiles.
DO NOT STEP on refrigerant lines. Broken lines can whip about and
release refrigerant, causing personal injury.
DO NOT climb over a machine. Use platform, catwalk, or staging. Fol-
low safe practices when using ladders.
USE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT (crane, hoist, etc.) to lift or move
inspection covers or other heavy components. Even if components are
light, use mechanical equipment when there is a risk of slipping or
losing your balance.
BE AWARE that certain automatic start arrangements CAN ENGAGE
THE STARTER, TOWER FAN, OR PUMPS. Open the disconnect ahead
of the starter, tower fan, or pumps. Shut off the machine or pump be-
fore servicing equipment.
USE only repair or replacement parts that meet the code requirements
of the original equipment.
DO NOT VENT OR DRAIN waterboxes containing industrial brines,
liquid, gases, or semisolids without the permission of your process con-
trol group.
DO NOT LOOSEN waterbox cover bolts until the waterbox has been
completely drained.
DOUBLE-CHECK that coupling nut wrenches, dial indicators, or other
items have been removed before rotating any shafts.
DO NOT LOOSEN a packing gland nut before checking that the nut
has a positive thread engagement.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT all valves, fittings, and piping for corro-
sion, rust, leaks, or damage.
PROVIDE A DRAIN connection in the vent line near each pressure
relief device to prevent a build-up of condensate or rain water.
