1 Summary Modular Air-Cooled Screw Chiller (Modular Air-Cooled Screw Chiller is short) is a type of refrigerant
facility which supplies cooling water in summer as well as heating water in winter. It can be combined with the terminal units with air processing such as air-cooled unitary standing units and combined type units to be various types of large-scale and centralized air-conditioning system. This air-cooled design can avoid installing cooling tower and cooling water pump for users, so the units are especially suitable for water deficient regions. The units can be installed on the rooftop, ground outside and so on instead of being equipped with a special machine house. It can widely applied in new–built or reconstructed industry and civil-building project, such as hotels, apartments, restaurant, office building, shopping mall, theater, gymnasium, hospitals and so on, as well as supplies required cooling (heating) water for factories in technical process of producing, so it’s especially suitable for some special locations around where there are high-level requirements for noise and environments and boiler and cooling tower are difficult to install.
a. Modularization: The patented design of that any unitary module can be as master module, makes various emergencies easy. Each unitary module can be combined with another module with different capacity so that different units with different cooling capacity are formed in a wider application range. Balanced running of compressor extends the lifetime of unit. The compressor of each unitary module will be started one after another to ensure less attack to power network. The design of combination of modular makes the unit compact in size and configuration, convenient in delivery and installation.
b. High efficiency: The new generation of screw compresses with balanced load and high-efficiency and helical twin screw with nearly 100,000-hour lifetime can efficiently avoid leakage and improve the compressing efficiency. Combined with perfectly-matched refrigerant and reliable control technology, they can also make the units efficiently run at full load as well as at partial load.
c. High reliability: As a specialized air-conditioning company, this company has been engaging in technical improvement and innovation; it adopts perfect service parts, strict control on each manufacturing procedure and strict test to each ongoing product in performance to ensure quality and performance, moreover, reliable motor- cooling technology and oil return technology for refrigerant system ensure the compress running in well conditions.
d. Energy saving: With perfect design, the energy levels of each unitary module can be adjusted by 0-25-50-75-100%; in addition to it the combination of many unitary modules make the unloading capacity of unit fold increased, which totally matches the practical load. Because units running at partial load most of time, the energy consumption is much less than before.
e. Quiet running and long life: The double-shaft of the compressor is accurately located by axial direction and radial of rolling bearing to ensure even stress, quick compressing procedure without decentration and reciprocate, low pressure fluctuation, low vibration and reliable running of the compressor.
f. Long-distance monitoring: Adopting high-performance C Builder Software to program under Windows system and graphic means, the computer can clearly display running curve of the units. International universal 485 industrial buses are used for communication with the distance as long as 800m, which can connect and simultaneously monitor 255 units to form a monitoring network, furthermore, all the functions of manual controller owned by the unit can be displayed in the computer so that there is no necessary to monitor or control the units in computers’ house.
g. Environmental friendly refrigerant:The R134a,whose ODP(Ozone Depletion Potential) value is 0,is a environmental friendly refrigerant.It does no harm to Ozone complately, and its usufruct is unlimited.
h. Running in atrocious weather:Adopting multifarious atrocious weather,the units can reliably running in a large temperature scale,from 18 to 52 degrees centigrade.

4.4 Connection of water- pipe system During connection, pay more attention to following points:a. Notice marks of water-in(out) pipe for shell and tube evaporator to prevent incorrect connection of
pipes. b. Flexible joints should be used for the chilled water-in (out) pipe joints of the units to decrease
vibration. c. Thermometer, manometer and sluice valve should be installed at the chilled water inlet (outlet).d. To ensure normal running of the units water flow switch must be installed, which is suggested to
associate with the controller of the units.e. The drain valve should be installed on water-out pipe and manual or auto air release valve should be
installed on the peak or raised location in the water-pipe system. When the units are normally running, it is better to take away the valve handle to ensure that the valve cannot be opened, if not, the water-break accident should happen.
f. Chilled water pipe should be covered with heat insulator to avoid loss of heat as well as condensation.

g. Impurities in the water-pipe system is unavoidable and will deposit on the shell and tube evaporator, so filter should be installed in front of the water pump.
h. Make sure pass by the units before cleaning the waterway system to avoid sewage flowing into the units.
i. When the ambient temperature is very low in winter, if the units is stopped at night, water in the shell and tube evaporator and the pipes may be frozen to damage the facilities and pipes. In order to avoid freezing, the water pump should be always kept running when the units is stopped. The safe ways are to drain out the water of the pipes or add mixture of ethanol and propanol in water-pipe system to prevent freezing.
Note: Never adopt salt mixtures to prevent it from corroding and damaging the units.

5 Maintenance In order to make the unit reliably run for a long time, the unit debugging should be operated by
professionals or personnel with air-conditioning knowledge by the guide, the daily operation and maintenance should be operated by the personnel with specialized training.
5.1 Daily startup or stop of the unit The daily startup or stop of the unit should be operated by the manual controller. The knob switch on the
electric cabinet gate is used to turn on /off the unit during maintenance or in emergencies. The sequence of starting the unit is: turning on the water pump first, then the main unit. The sequence of stopping the unit is: turning off the main unit, then water pump. The power supply must have been supplied for 8 hours before turning off the unit (do not start the water pump), so that heat tape of the compressor can operate, liquid refrigerant kept in the compressor can volatilize to avoid damage to compressor by direct startup of the unit.
5.2 Maintenance of the main parts a. During running of the unit, pay more attention to the pressure of air out / in, if any abnormity exists,
please check and debug. b. Control and protect the equipment, do not adjust any set points on the spot. c. Periodically check tightness of the electric connection wires to timely fasten the loose one.d. Periodically check the reliability of electrical components to timely replace the ineffective and unsafe
parts.
5.3 Requirements to water and contaminant releaseWhen the industrial water is used as the refrigerant liquid, there will be little scale incrustation produced,
but if use the water from well or river, that would be a lot of scale incrustation and sand produced, this is because when the sand and clay is in the evaporator, that will reduce the water flow volume and cause the freezing accident. Therefore, before flowing into the refrigerant liquid system, the water should be filtrated, and demineralized the water by demineralizing plant. Before it is using, the PH value, conductivity, consistence of chlorion, consistence of sulphion etc. should be analyzed. The following is the required water quality standard for the unit:
PH value: 6.5~8.0Conductivity: <200uV/cm(25℃ )
Chlorion:<50ppmSulphuricacid hydronium:<50ppm
Content of iron:<0.3ppmAlkali hydronium:<50ppm
Total hardness:<50ppmSulphion:None
Ammonia hydronium:NoneSilicon:<30ppm
Natrium hydronium:Has no requirementIn spite of qualified water and after lengthy running of the unit, burnt lime and other mineral substances
may still deposit on the surface of shell and tube exchanger, which will affect the performance of heat transfer and can be cleared by organic acid like citric acid and acetic acid.

5.4 Maintenance for lengthy shut down If the unit is need to be lengthily shut, inside and outside of the units should be clean and dry. Cover the
units to prevent dust and turn on the water drain valve to drain the water stored in the evaporator.
5.5 Startup of the unit after lengthy shut down Following work should be prepared if stat the unit after lengthy shut downCompletely check and clean the units:a. Clean the water-pipe system.b. Check the water pump.c. Fasten all the joints to lines.
5.6 Replacing components When replacing the components, should only adopt the components, which are supplied by GREE, the
similar components of other company could not be used.
5.7 Cooling system Check the refrigerant charging by checking the air in pressure and air out pressure, if there is leakage or
replacing the components of cooling system, that will need to examine the air tightness, when charging the refrigerant, should accord to the following:
5.7.1 The refrigerant leaks completely If this kind of situation happened, high-pressure nitrogen (15~20 kilogram pressure) or refrigerant
should be adopted for system leak hunting, if need to fill the welding, after the air of system inside drained out, it could be weld. Before charging refrigerant, the whole cooling system should be dry and vacuumized completely.
a. Connect the vacuum pipe at the low-pressure side and high-pressure side of fluorine charging mouth. b. To vacuumize the system pipelines by vacuum pump.c. When it had reached the requirement of vacuity (absolute pressure below 100Pa), to charge the cooling
system by refrigerant bottle, the appropriate charging volume has been marked on the nameplate and the technical parameter list. The refrigerant should be charged from the side of low-pressure pipe.
d. The ambient temperature would affect the refrigerant charge volume, if they haven’t meet the required charge volume, can make the refrigerant liquid circulated, and start up the unit for charging, could short circuit the low-pressure control switch. (Note: After charging, the wiring should be resumed )
5.7.2 Recharge the refrigerant To connect the refrigerant charging bottle at the low-pressure side of the fluorine charging mouth, and
connect the pressure gauge at the low-pressure side and high-pressure side. a. Make the refrigerant liquid circulated, start up the unit, to short circuit the low-pressure control switch
when it is necessary. b. To charge the refrigerant to the system slowly, and check the air in pressure and air out pressure. Warning !!
When it is in the leak hunting test and air tightness test, could not charge the oxygen, acetylene etc. such these kind of inflammable and poisonous gas to the system, the high-pressure nitrogen and refrigerant only could be used.
5.8 Anti-freezingIf the freezing of tubular heat exchanger flow vent happed, that will cause the serious damage, that is
Modular Air-Cooled Screw Chiller
27
the tubular heat exchanger damaged and leaked, but the damage due to the freezing is not belong to the maintenance range, so should pay more attention to the anti-freezing of following:
a. The units are stopping and stand-by under the lower ambient temperature: If the units are placed out of the room with the outdoor temp. is lower than 0℃ , water in the evaporator should be drained out.
b. When running: If the chilled water flow switch and anti-freezing temp. sensor are ineffective, they may cause water pipes freeze, so water flow switch must be kept the interlocking with the units.
c. When maintaining: When charging the refrigerant or discharge the refrigerant while maintaining, the evaporator may be frozen. Whenever the pressure of the refrigerant in the container is lower than 0.4Mpa, the pipes should be possibly freezing. So, water in the evaporator should be kept flowing or drained out completely.
5.9 Other notificationsa. Regular maintenance: Regularly maintain the units according to the requirement of the specification
to ensure the units operate excellently. b. Refrigerant leakage: If there is any leakage of the refrigerant, stop the unit at once and communicate
with the maintenance worker. Do avoid any fire nearby, as the fire can break down the leaking gas into poisonous gas.
c. Fireproofing: If it happens, turn off the switch of the main power source immediately, and then extinguish the fire by the fire extinguisher.
d. Prevent flammable gas: The units should be kept from the combustibles things such as gasoline, alcohol, etc. to prevent explosion.
e. Error: If the units are stopping due to the malfunction, the reason should be found out and the error should be solved, and then restart the units. It is forbidden to start the units while the error isn’t eliminated. If the refrigerant or the chilled water is leak, turn off all the switches. At this time, if the units cannot be closed through the controller, turn off the switch of the main power source.
f. Please don’t make the circuit that needs the protectors into short connection, or it can cause the error.In order to prolong service life and enhance efficiency and saves energy, it is necessary to conduct check,
maintenance, and repair regularly. User should keep down the check, repair and maintenance circumstance in every month, every season and every year. What is more important is to keep down damage and repair circumstance of unit in detail, it is convenient for technician to deal with error.
