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 Features Compressor.
• 208-230/3/60, 460/3/60, 575/3/60 volt; 400/3/50 volt Refrigeration Features • HFC-410a refrigerant • Electronic hot gas bypass capacity control • High refrigerant pressure cutout switches • Suction and discharge pressure transducers.
Caution! Energize the crankcase heater for at least 24 hours before initial startup to drive dissolved refrigerant from the compressor oil. Failure to do so will damage the compressor. 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.

Chapter 3: 3-1 Installation 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.
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 Appendix.
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 will 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.
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 should be type “L” or type “K” refrigerant grade copper tubing only. Proper sizing and installation has a significant effect on system performance, reliability, and safety. Interconnecting Refrigerant Piping. The chiller and condenser refrigerant lines are terminated with a cap and brazed closed.
room. Install a liquid line-charging valve to facilitate refrigerant charging. See Figure 3 on page 18 for sizing information. See Figure 5 on page 22 for charge determination. Discharge Line Sizing. For horizontal runs, the discharge line should be pitched downward, in the direction of flow, at a rate of 1/2” for every 10 feet. This will allow oil to flow towards the condenser. Discharge line sizing is based on the velocity required for sufficient oil return back to the compressor.

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.
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.
3-9 Water Reservoir All portable chillers shipped during the fall, winter, or spring, or those units that are shipped from stock are flushed at the factory with a water/ethylene glycol solution to prevent piping components prone to retaining water from freezing.

Chapter 5: 5-1 Maintenance Lubrication Grease all fan motors, and pump motors that do not have permanently sealed bearings. Be sure to use an all-purpose industrial grease with a temperature reference of 185˚ F (85˚ C). Remove the grease relief plug (motors only) before adding grease, add grease until a small amount pours out, and replace the plug when finished. Caution! Failure to remove the grease relief plug will result in dislodging the bearing grease seal, eventually causing bearing failure.
Caution! Do not use steam or water over 140ºF (60ºC) to clean a condenser unless you are monitoring the refrigeration circuit for excessive pressure with gauges. Only a trained technician should use this method. 5-4 Maintaining the Evaporator Dirty evaporator heat exchange surfaces reduce system capacity and efficiency. Remove dirt and slime in the evaporator by reverse-circulating with a mild detergent and water solution.
