2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 GENERALPackaged chillers are designed to cool water orother non-corrosive liquid. The liquid to becooled is to be circulated through the tubes of arefrigerant evaporator where the temperature isreduced to the desired level. The heat absorbed bythe refrigerant in the evaporator is rejected via thecondenser coils where it raises the temperature ofcross flow air.

Care should be taken to see that the equipment isproperly installed and adjusted. An installer oroperator should first be familiar with theinformation contained in this manual.

2.1.1 APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS

The following instructions are intended tohelp ensure that your water chillingmachine performs adequately.

2.1.2 CHILLED WATER FLOW

The Dunham-Bush ACFX PackagedWater Chiller is designed for constantchilled water flow rate, even when thecooling load varies. The machine willgenerally perform satisfactorily withsteady flow rates deviating from design byas much as ±10%. However, varying waterflow rates can cause instability in controlwhich will result in undesirable systemeffects, particularly poor control of leavingchilled water temperature. If two-wayvalves are used to control flow through thecooling coils, some means such as anautomatic modulating valve should beprovided in the system to maintain steadyflow through the cooler.

2.2 INSPECTIONWhen the equipment is delivered, it is importantthat the following inspection be implemented inthe presence of the forwarder’s representative.

1.) Check all crates and cartons received againstthe Bill of Lading/ Shipping Papers to be surethey agree.

2.) Check the model number and the electricalcharacteristics on the nameplate to determineif they are correct.

3.) Check for freight damage, shortages or otherdiscrepancies and note them on the deliveryreceipt before signing.

In the event of any damage, a damage claimshould be filed immediately by the purchaser.

2.3 RIGGING2.3.1 GENERAL

Each unit has been carefully tested at thefactory where every precaution is taken toensure that the unit reaches you in perfectcondition. It is very important that theriggers and movers use the same care andprecaution in moving the equipment intoplace. Make sure that chains, cables orother moving equipment are placed so asto prevent damage to the unit or piping.The refrigerant piping must not be used asa ladder or a handle. Do not attach a chainhoist sling to the piping or equipment.Move the unit in an upright position andlet it down gently from trucks or rollers.

2.3.2 RIGGING AND MOVING

Any unit mounted on skids may be movedwith a forklift, but care must be taken notto damage the unit with forks. The skidsshould not be removed until the unit is atits final location.

The ACFX model is to be rigged throughthe holes in the base side rails. In all cases,spreader bars must be used betweenrigging lines to prevent damage to thecoils or fan deck. The unit must be liftedusing All Rigging Points. Refer toRigging Instructions on Figure 2.3.2.

All models can be pushed or pulled (withchains) from the control box end only.Truck forks must be kept level and nottilted back. Do not raise the unit end bymore than 2" above the floor.

2.4 SPACE REQUIREMENTSAND CLEARANCE

2.4.1 GENERALThe dimensional data and clearancesshown in Figure 2.4.1 are useful fordetermining space requirements. The unitshould be placed to make the clearancenoted available for proper servicing.Failure to allow these clearances willresult in higher costs for operation,maintenance and repair.

2.4.2 ACFXThe dimensional data are shown in Figure2.4.2 and space requirements are shownin Figure 2.4.1. The most importantconsideration which must be taken intoaccount when deciding upon location ofair cooled equipment is provision for

ample supply of ambient air to thecondenser, and removal of heated airfrom the condenser area. If this essentialrequirement is not met, it will result inhigher condensing temperatures, whichwill cause poor operation, higher powerconsumption and possibly, eventualfailure of the equipment. Units must notbe located in the vicinity of steam, hot airor fume exhausts.Another consideration which must betaken into account is that the unit shouldbe mounted away from noise sensitivespaces and must have adequate support toavoid vibration and noise transmissioninto the building. Units should bemounted over corridors, utility areas, restrooms or other auxiliary areas wheresound levels are not an important factor.Sound and structural consultants shouldbe retained for recommendations oncritical installations.

FIGURE 2.4.1 SPACE REQUIREMENTS

WALLS OR OBSTRUCTIONS

The unit should be located so that air may circulate freely and not be recirculated. For proper air flowand access all sides of the unit must be at least six feet away from any wall or obstruction. It ispreferred that this distance be increased whenever possible. Care should be taken to see that amplespace is left for maintenance work through access doors and panels. Overhead obstructions are notpermitted. When the unit is in an area where it is enclosed by three walls the unit must be installed asindicated for units in a pit.

Notes:1.) All dimensions are the minimum,

unless otherwise noted.

2.) Pit installations are not re-commended. Re-circulation of hotcondenser air, combined withsurface air turbulence cannot bepredicted. Hot air re-circulation willseverely affect unit efficiency ratio(EER) and can cause high pressureor fan motor temperature trips.Dunham-Bush will not beresponsible for ducting fans to ahigher level to alleviate the abovementioned conditions.

2.0 INSTALLATION

2.5 FOUNDATIONRefer to index for unit dimensions and loadpoints. Foundations must be level for properoperation and functioning of controls andprovisions must be made for supporting theindividual load points as shown in the unitdimensions. Roof mounted units must besupported on adequate steel structure. If units arelocated on the ground level, a concrete base isrecommended.

2.6 VIBRATION ISOLATIONUnder certain critical conditions. it may benecessary to install vibration isolators under thebase of the Packaged Chiller.

Rubber-in-shear or spring vibration isolators areoffered as optional items. When spring isolatorsare used, flexible connections must be installed inthe water piping system and in the refrigerantlines of split systems. Note: These flexibleconnectors must be suitable for the fluid andpressures involved.

All external pipings must be supported by springmounted hangers and any piping which goesthrough the wall, ceiling or floor should beproperly sheathed to prevent transmission ofpiping vibration to the structure.

When spring isolators are used, electrical serviceto the unit must also be flexibly connected bymeans of a 36" section of flexible conduit.

2.7 PIPING CONNECTIONSRefer to the dimensional drawings for waterpiping connection locations. After the unit hasbeen leveled and isolators (if any) installed &adjusted, connect cooler water piping, keeping inmind that the cooler tubes may require cleaningor replacement at some future date, andremovable sections of piping will be required topermit cooler head removal.

Piping must be supported to avoid excess stresson the cooler heads. Cut piping holes in the panelat the end of the unit, if there is any. Install air

vent points to permit complete air purging of thechilled water circuit. Install drain valves insimilar low points to facilitate complete watersystem drainage. Install temperature & pressureindicators in the water piping at the unit tomonitor water flow. Install shut-off valves toisolate the unit from the piping system during unitservicing.

Note: Due to possible high pressures resultingfrom rising temperatures, do not close shut-offvalves with cold water in the cooler.

It is important that the chilled water system becleaned before startup to avoid collecting debrisin the cooler. After filling the system with water(or a glycol solution), start the pump, bleed offthe trapped air, and check for proper flow rate bymeasuring water pressure drop across cooler.

NOTE: WATER QUALITY - ACFX

Coolers used in these packages are madeof steel, copper and brass and aresuitable for operation with well-maintained water systems. However, ifthe fluid used in cooler is corrosive, highin mineral content or entrained solids,the water can cause reducedperformance and even failure of heatexchangers. Therefore, it may benecessary to obtain the services of awater treatment consultant and toprovide and maintain water treatment.This is particularly important with glycolsolution systems.

2.8 ELECTRICAL WIRING

In connecting power wiring to the unit, thefollowing precautions should be taken:

1.) All field wiring is to be in accordance withthe National Electric Code and must complywith state and local codes. See Electrical Datafor minimum circuit ampacity and fuse size.

1.) Connect a set of normally openauxiliary contacts from chilled waterpump contactor into unit controls asshown on unit wiring diagram.

2.) Install a chilled water flow switch(paddle type recommended) (ordifferential pressure switch) in straightlength of chilled water piping to avoidturbulence. Connect in same electricalcircuit as ( 1.)

2.9.2 SETTINGS

All controls are factory set, howeveroperating control settings are not alwaysapplicable under all operating conditions.For recommended control settings, seewiring diagram accompanying unit. Safetycontrols must be set to factoryrecommendations.

2.10 REQUEST FOR START-UP REPRESENTATIVE

After the installation has been completed and

checked, Form 9180 must be filled out and sent tothe Dunham-Bush Service Department forauthorized start-up representative to perform the

initial start-up of the Dunham-Bush packagedchiller. The purchaser will have competentservice and operating personnel in attendance to

assist in the work involved, and also to be trainedin the service and maintenance of this unit.(During the warranty period, the manufacturer is

responsible for parts only upon proof of defectiveworkmanship or manufacture).

Following receipt of the signed Form 9180, a

representative will be sent to the customer. Hewill inspect the installation to determine whether

it meets Dunham-Bush requirements; perform theinitial start-up of the installation; determinewhether it is in satisfactory operating condition;

and instruct the specified customer personnel inits operation and maintenance for the length oftime specified in the purchase contract.

NOTE: Sump oil heaters should be energized fora minimum of 24 hours and the oil sumptemperature must be at a minimum of

100°F (38°C) prior to arrival of start-uprepresentative. This will ensure that theoil is warm enough to vaporize any

dissolved refrigerant and that the oil iswithin the normal operating temperaturerange.

3.0 OPERATION

3.1 GENERALThe unit should be started up only by arefrigeration technician who is familiar withaccepted operation practices for refrigerationsystems.Use small screw unit start-up report to record alltemperature, pressure, electrical readings andcontrol settings. A copy must be forwarded toDunham-Bush, before the warranty will behonored.

3.2 UNIT PIPINGEach unit has a separate refrigerant circuit foreach compressor. See Figure 3.2 for typical unitpiping schematic.

3.3 SYSTEM WATER FLOWRATE

The quantity of chilled water being circulated canbe measured quite accurately (±5%) bydetermining the water pressure drop through thecooler and reading GPM from the cooler pressuredrop curve, Figure 3.3. Connect reliable pressuregauges to valves installed in cooler entering andleaving water vent connections and read pressuredifference with chilled water pump in operation.An alternative method of determining GPM is tomeasure pressure difference from pump inlet tooutlet and read GPM from pump curve.However due to the quality of water at the jobsite,the accuracy of the curve might vary. Conditionssuch as water hardness, organic material,suspended solids and water velocity maycontribute to a greater fouling. The quality of thewater could be maintained by chemical treatmentand periodical cleaning. The curve plotted isbased on a clean water system.

3.4 STANDARD AMBIENTUNIT OPERATION (65°FMINIMUM AMBIENT)INCLUDING OVERNIGHTSHUT-DOWN ANDMORNING RESTART

Caution: These units may be equipped withmanifold installed manual discharge valve thatmust be opened before attempting to start.

Important: Do not use chilled water pumpoperation via the flow switch or Aux chilledwater pump contacts to start & stop this unit.These are safety controls, not operationalcontrols.

3.4.1 AIR COOLED PACKAGECHILLER START-UP

The unit is ready for start-up when thefollowing procedures have beencompleted.

1. Water piping for the cooler is installedand tested.

2. Electrical connections are made andproperly fused.

3. Unit has been leak tested. leakscorrected, and charge completed.

4. Compressor crankcase heater(s) hasbeen energized for a minimum of 24hours.

5. Calibrated refrigerant gages have beenconnected to the suction and discharge.

6. Turn on the chilled water pump, checkdirection of rotation and adjust thewater flow through the cooler to thespecified flow rate. Bleed off allentrained air.

7. Manually energize the fan starters andcheck the fan rotation. Fans should pullair through the condenser coil anddischarge vertically upwards.

8. Check all refrigerant valves to be surethey are open.

9. Proceed to System Start-up.

Compressor #1 will start in about 15minutes & proceed to load up if leavingwater temperature is above setpoint.Compressor #2 will follow as the demanddictates.

3.5 SYSTEM START UP1. Before starting the compressor(s), check all

three phases of supply voltage, of all legs ofthe motor. They must be within ±10% of thenameplate voltage. Check to be surecompressor is not running backwards.

2. Start compressor(s), check the gages and noteif the pressures are within the prescribedlimits.

3. Stage unit down until all compressors are offand check the compressor crankcase sightglass for oil level. It should be 1/2 to 3/4 of thecompressor sight glass.

4. The electrical control settings should bechecked and if necessary, reset to thosesettings indicated on the wiring diagram.Safety controls are factory set and must bemaintained at settings indicated on the wiringdiagram.

5. The temperatures of the chilled water both inand out, should be checked to insure the unit isoperating within the desired temperatures.

3.6 SHUT-DOWN (OVERNIGHTOR WEEKEND)

To shut-down in the unit with compressors on oroff, turn each individual compressor switch. Donot close any valves. The chilled water pump maythen be turn off. If it is possible that the overnightambient will drop below 45ºF, it is preferable toleave the chilled water pump on. Finally, do notopen the main unit disconnect. Main power isrequired to keep the sump heaters.

3.7 SEASONAL SHUT-DOWNPROCEDURE

Standard Ambient Units

1. Follow standard overnight shut-downprocedure

2. Turn off chilled water pump

3. Close manual discharge valve

4. Close liquid valve on sealpot

5. If ambient temperature during the extendedshut-down period will not get below freezing,the chilled water system may be left filled, Ifthe ambient temperature will be belowfreezing, drain all water thoroughly, removing

all vent & drain plugs from both heads of thecooler, and blow out tubes will compressed airto avoid serious stagnant water corrosion.

6. Finally, it is recommended that an oil samplebe taken from each compressor & submittedfor lab analysis. Dunham-Bush offers thisservice in its "Oil Kare" program. Thisanalysis should be done at the end of eachoperating season or every 6 months if the unitis used year round, to maintain compressorwarranty.

The power supply to the unit may be de-energized to conserve energy. Just rememberthat all heaters will now be inactive, and thecooler could freeze-up if not properly drained.

3.0 OPERATION

3.9 SAFETY RELIEF VALVESEach pressure vessel is protected by a safety reliefvalve as required by ASME Code. Eachcompressor is protected by a relief valve which isvented to atmosphere. Never install any kind ofshut-off valve in a safety relief vent line.

3.10 REFRIGERATION CYCLE-MULTIPLE COMPRESSORACFX

Following is the normal sequence of operation fora unit installed in a typical air conditioningsystem. Refer to Figure 3.2, the typical pipingschematic for multiple compressor ACFX unit.Each vertical screw compressor discharges hot,high pressure gas through service valve or stopvalve and then flow into air cooled, condenserwhere it condenses, rejecting heat to the outdoorair drawn through the coil by fans. The liquidrefrigerant from the condenser drains out from thebottom of the condenser into the economizer feedline.

The refrigerant flows through the economizerfeed ball valve, dropping its pressure, causing itto flash. It then flows into the flash economizertank which is at an intermediate pressure betweencondenser and evaporator Liquid is centrifugallyseparated from the flash gas and the liquid drainsto the bottom of the tank, exits via the economizerdrain line, and passes through the economizerdrain ball valve. Both economizer ball valves areactuated by a Modutrol motor that adjusts flow tomaintain an appropriate refrigerant level in theevaporator, determined by a liquid level floatswitch.

From the drain line, liquid refrigerant flows intothe flooded evaporator, where it boils, cooling thewater flowing inside evaporator tubes. Vaporfrom the boiling refrigerant flows up the suctionpipes through a shut-off valve, suction checkvalve and suction filter (inside compressor) intothe compressor where it is compressed and startsthe cycle again.

Vapor flows from the top of flash economizerinto the compressor at the vapor injection port,

which feeds it into the compressor part waythrough the compression process. Check valveprevents backflow at shutdown in multi-compressor units.

3.11 FAN CYCLINGOn start-up, all fan will remain off (some unitsmay have base fans which run together withcompressor). As the head pressure builds up, nextfan stage will start. Subsequently fan stage willstart if the head pressure continues to rise. Referwiring circuit diagram for number of fan stage.

3.12 LIQUID INJECTIONEach compressor is fitted with a liquid injectionsystem designed to feed refrigerant liquid into thecompressor to provide additional motor coolingas required. The liquid injection is activated bysolenoid valve to hold the compressor dischargegas temperature below 170ºF, the maximumdischarge operating temperature of thesecompressors.

3.13 HYDRAULIC CAPACITYCONTROL SYSTEM

Each compressor has a hydraulic control systemto supply the proper force necessary to actuate thecapacity control slide valve, thereby regulatingcompressor loading for maximum unit capacity. Itis composed of a normally closed valve (A), anormally open solenoid valve (B), an internalpressure regulating valve, with valves A and Bboth energized (A open, B closed) during normalcompressor operation, high pressure oil isdirected to the slide valve. This pressure acts onthe surface of the slide valve piston creating aforce which is sufficient to overcome theopposing spring force and to move the valve inthe direction of increasing capacity. When thecompressor is given a "hold" command, valve Ais de-energized (closed) and slide valve holds itsposition.

The internal pressure regulating valve allows oilto bleed from the slide valve chamber during thehold condition. If valve B is then de-energized(open), the high pressure oil acting on the slidevalve will be vented to suction, and the pressurein the slide valve chamber will be reduced. The

slide valve spring will now move the slide valveback toward the minimum capacity position.

Under standard conditions, the compressors willload in 60 seconds and unload in 55 seconds.

4.3 TYPICAL OPERATIONThe Dunham-Bush rotary screw air-cooled waterchiller depends mainly on its on-boardmicrocomputer for control. Operation described isfor a two-compressor units and is very similar forsingle and three compressor units.

For initial start-up, the following conditions mustbe met:

] Power supply to unit energized.

] Unit circuit breakers in the "on" position.

] Control power switch on for at least 15minutes. Compressor switches on.

] Reset pressed on microcomputer keypad.

] Chilled water pump running and chilled waterflow switch made.

] Leaving chilled water temperature at least 2°Fabove setpoint.

] All safety conditions satisfied.

Page 26: OPERATION AND Products That Perform . . .By People Who Care … · screw chillers flooded products that perform . . .by people who care ® acfx 200-6 acfx 220-6 acfx 250-6 acfx 280-6

4.0 ELECTRICAL

After all above conditions are met, themicrocomputer will call for the lead compressorto start. After a one-minute delay, the firstcontactor (e.g. 1M-1) is energized followed by thesecond contactor (e.g. 1M-2) after one-second-time delay. This provides reduced inrush steppedstart. The compressor 15-minute anti-recycletimer is initiated at compressor start.

When the compressor starts, the microcomputermonitors amperage by means of 1CT, voltageusing 3T, leaving water temperature using TS,and condensing pressure. These inputs are used tocontrol the loading and staging of the compressor.The compressor's loading is controlled by pulsingsignals to the load and unload solenoids.

The compressor and cooling capacity iscontrolled by pulsed signals to load and unloadsolenoid valves on the compressor. When thecompressor starts, it is fully unloaded, yieldingabout 25% of its full load capacity. As thecomputer gives it load signals, capacity graduallyincreases. The rate of compressor loading isgoverned by ramp control which is adjustable inthe computer.

The computer responds to leaving chilled watertemperature and its rate of change which isproportional and derivative control. If leavingchilled water temperature is within the deadband(+/-0.8°F from setpoint), no load or unloadcommands are given. If chilled water temperatureis above deadband, the computer will continueloading the compressor until a satisfactory rate ofdeclined is observed. If leaving chilled watertemperature is below the deadband, thecompressor is commanded to unload. Thus thecompressor capacity is continuously modulated tomatch applied load and hold leaving chilled watertemperature at setpoint.

Condenser control is by fans, of which some arebase fans that are activated upon compressorstarting. The base fans are normally the oneslocated at the liquid line header side of each ‘V’coil. The remaining fans are controlled accordingto discharge pressure and fan stage setpoints bythe microcomputer. Optional low ambient unitsmay have base fan variable speed control which isindependent of the microcomputer, or coilsolenoid control to disable ‘V’ coil sections andfans under the control of the microcomputer.

If the applied load is greater than one compressorcan handle, it will load fully and then themicrocomputer will call for a second compressor.After one minute, the second compressor willstart in the same manner as the first. Then bothcompressors will be commanded to adjust load to50%. They are gradually loaded up together untilthe applied load is satisfied. In this way the twocompressors share the load equally.

If the applied load decreases to the point that bothcompressors are running at about 40% capacity,the computer shuts down the lag compressor andloads the remaining compressor to about 80%. Ifapplied load decreases further, the remainingcompressor unloads proportionately. If appliedload decreases to less than the minimum capacityof one compressor, the leaving chilled watertemperature will decline to 2°F below setpoint, atwhich time the lead compressor will shut down. Itwill restart automatically if leaving chilled watertemperature rises to 2°F above setpoint and both15 minute anti-recycle and one minute start delaytimers are satisfied.

During start-up operation, the computer monitorsthe difference between discharge and suctionpressures to insure that minimum of 30 psidifferential is available for compressorlubrication. If the difference falls below aminimum of 30 psi, the computer closesrefrigerant flow control valves, starving theevaporator, causing evaporator pressure to drop,increasing differential pressure. This is especiallyhelpful at startup, when warm chilled water andlow ambient temperature would cause a low headsituation. This feature is called EPCAS:Evaporator Pressure Control at Startup. It is oneof several proactive control features of themicrocomputer which overcome potentialproblems while continuing operation.

Two additional proactive features are low suctionand high discharge pressure override. If operatingpressures approach trip level, compressors areunloaded as necessary to continue operation.

To shut down the unit automatically, the customercontrol contacts must be opened. To shut downthe unit manually, simply shut off the compressorswitches. This will cause a no-run alarm that mustbe reset to restart the compressor.

4.5 CONTROL FUNCTIONS

4.5.1 Chilled Water Pump interlockAnd Flow Switch (CWP AndCWFS)These are field installed switches, both ofwhich are used to ensure chilled waterflow before the unit is allowed to start.Failure of either one during operation willcause the compressor to shut down.A water flow alarm will be generated andRESET must be pressed to clear thealarm.

NOTE: The flow switch or pump interlock cannotbe used for normal control of the unit.(See Section 4.5.2).

4.5.2 Customer Control interlockControl contacts from an externalcontroller can be used to enable or disableoperation of the unit. The wiring diagramspecifies the terminals to which thecontacts must be wired. To enable theunit, the contacts must be closed. Todisable the unit, the contacts must beopened.

4.5.3 Anti-Recycle Timer(Microcomputer)The compressor motor requires an anti-recycle time delay which prevents restartfor 15 minutes after a start. The purposeof this feature is to avoid frequent startswhich tend to elevate the motor windingtemperature and impose undue wear oncontactors. The microcomputer will notrestart the compressor motor until the 15minutes have elapsed. COFF is displayedwhen the compressor control point (1 CPfor compressor 1 respectively) isaddressed, and when other conditions forcompressor start are satisfied. See Section4.3.

4.5.4 Load Control (Microcomputer)The microcomputer controls the leavingwater temperature within a narrowdeadband by pulsing load and/ or unloadsolenoids on the compressor. The loadand unload solenoids position the slidevalve within the compressor to control itscapacity. The microcomputer determinesa desired level of loading and varies pulseduration depending on difference betweenload target and actual load. The loadtarget is varied based on rate of approachto desired temperature preventingsignificant temperature oscillations. Thecurrent limit function (see Section 4.5.7)overrides the temperature control.The status of the compressor can beobserved by displaying the compressorcontrol point (1CP). One of the followingmessages will be displayed:

COMP # LOAD Automatic loadCOMP # HOLD Automatic holdCOMP # UNLD Automatic unloadCOMP # OFF Off on temperature or

customer controlCOMP # COFF Off on timer (C lock

off)COMP # LOFF Manual off or safety

shutdownWhere # is 1 for compressors 1respectively.

4.0 ELECTRICAL

4.5.5 Ramp Control (Microcomputer)Another feature of the microcomputer isramp control, which is the ability to varyload time of the machine from start. Oftenwhen the machine is started, the water inthe chilled water circuit is warm, and theunit will go to full load quickly. Withramp control, the user can program thecomputer so that it loads at apredetermined rate. This is a valuabletool, since it can help reduce powerconsumption and demand charges. Twovariables are used to define the ramp

profile: Ramp rate and start point. Ramprate defines the length of time the unittakes to load from start point to full load.Start point is the percent of full load atwhich the ramp begins. The ramp rate Asetpoint can be set anywhere from 0.1 to0.4, smaller values producing slowerloading rates. The ramp start B setpointcan be set anywhere between 10 and50%. The compressor will load quickly tothis value and then follow the ramp slopefrom there. See Table 4.5.5 for ramp ratesat various settings.

4.6.9 Under Voltage Relay (UVR)The UVR protects the unit from thefollowing electric supply malfunctions:Phase Control Relay, phase reversal andsingle phasing. If the UVR trips, a control

relay (lCR) will de-energize and open thecontrol circuit. A LED light, located onthe PCR, indicates a good voltage supply.The power loss A setpoint is factory set to0.0 to allow automatic start after UVRfailure. Compressor will not start for 15minutes after failure. To select manualreset, set power loss A setpoint to 1.0. Inthis case, a power loss alarm will bestored by the microcomputer and RESETmust be pressed to start.

4.6.10 Sensor Alarm (Microcomputer)If the computer measures an analog value(temperature, pressure, volts.) that is farbeyond normal operating values, theassociated compressors are shutdown.The computer then stores the alarm codecorresponding to the sensor alarm. Asensor alarm indicates a problem in theanalog measurement system.

4.6.11 No-Stop Alarm (Microcomputer)If the microcomputer turns off acompressor, but the compressor digitalinput does not turn off, a No-Stop alarmis generated. The computer will turn offthe control power relay which disables allcompressor control circuits and will turnon the alarm light. This alarm indicates awiring or hardware error.

4.6.12 Low Differential PressureAlarm (Microcomputer)For proper lubrication, a compressorrequires a 30 psi differential pressurebetween condenser and evaporatorpressures. If the differential pressure isless than 30 psi for 3 minutes while acompressor is operating, all compressorswill be shut down. The microcomputerwill store the low differential pressurealarm code and turn on the alarm light.The RESET key must be pressed to clearthe alarm.

5.0 MAINTENANCE

5.1 GENERALAs with all mechanical equipment, a program ofregular inspection, cleaning and preventivemaintenance by trained personnel will contributegreatly to the long satisfactory service life of thisproduct.

5.2 PERIODIC INSPECTIONRead essential temperatures and pressuresperiodically to see that they indicate normaloperation. It is a good idea to record thesereadings on a log sheet. If any abnormal operationis observed, try to remedy it. See TroubleShooting Guide Section.

5.3 MONTHLY INSPECTIONRemote dirt and debris from condenser coil. Shutunit down, open main disconnect, inspect controlpanel, checking for loose wires, burned contacts,signs of overheated wires, etc. Restart unit andcheck performance of controls. Check sightglasses for proper refrigerant charge, seecharging.

5.4 VESSEL MAINTENANCE

5.4.1 GENERALThe efficient performance of the coolerand condenser heat transfer surfaces isessential for efficient performance ofyour packaged water cooling machine. Ifthese surfaces accumulate a film of dirt,scale or slime, their performanceefficiency will degrade substantially. Therefrigerant side of heat transfer surfacesdoes not foul since refrigerant is a goodsolvent and it is in a closed, filtered cycle.Water side surfaces can foul from thewater system. A program of watertreatment can slow the rate of fouling onheat transfer surfaces, but not eliminate it.

5.4.2 WATER SIDE CLEANING OFCOOLER

The effects of fouling of the coolerheattransfer surfaces can be detected byrecording full load performance data onthe log sheet. The best measure ofperformance of cooler is approach, whichis the difference between leaving watertemperature and saturated refrigeranttemperature at the pressure in the vessel.At full load, read cooler pressure andleaving chilled water temperature on thecomputer. Then use Table 5.4.2 to findsaturated temp. in cooler. Then calculateapproaches as follows:

Cooler Approach = T lvg chilled water -T sat cooler

If the approach increases by more than2°F above the approach recorded at cleanconditions, the tubes should be cleaned. Itis generally advisable to clean the waterside surfaces at least annually and moreoften if severely foul water is used. Inchemical cleaning, a caustic solution ispumped through the heat exchanger,which attacks dirt, slime and mineraldeposits and flushes then away.Chemicals can be recommended by watertreatment specialists, but it is important torinse the system thoroughly after cleaningto remove the chemicals before theyattack the metal surfaces.

5.5 AIR COOLEDCONDENSER CLEANING

The face of the condenser should be cleaned atleast once a month during operation. If conditionsare bad and condensers pick up dirt very quickly,it is suggested that they can be cleaned morefrequently. If the condenser is allowed to get toodirty, the unit will run at high head pressure andwill not give satisfactory performance.

5.0 MAINTENANCE

Dirty coils can be cleaned using a soft brush or byflushing with cool water or commerciallyavailable coil cleaners. DO NOT USE HOTWATER OR STEAM. To do so will causeexcessive pressure in the system. The face of thecondenser should be cleaned at the beginning ofthe season and periodically thereafter ifconditions require.

5.6 ELECTRICALMALFUNCTION

The unit has four devices designed to protectcompressor motors and manual motor controllersfrom electrical malfunctions: Circuit breakers.starter overload relays, under voltage relay, andmotor over temperature protectors (optional).

If the under voltage relay trips, it is a sign oftrouble in incoming power. If it trips again afterresetting, call your electric utility to investigatethe problem. If circuit breaker or motor overloadrelay or motor over temperature protectors trip,this is a sign of possible motor trouble. DO NOTreset and try to run compressor again. Callauthorized service representative to check formotor trouble. Resetting these safety devices andrepeated starting could turn a minor motorproblem into a costly major motor burnout.

5.7 REFRIGERANT CHARGE

All packaged chiller units are given a completecharge of refrigerant at the factory. The type andamount of refrigerant required is in PhysicalSpecifications. The total refrigerant shown is forthe entire system. Since these units have separate

circuits, each circuit should be consideredseparately for charging.

In order to check proper refrigerant charge, lookin each liquid line sight glass with the aid of aflashlight during system operation. At alloperating conditions, the sight glass should beclear. If bubbles are visible at any operatingcondition, the circuit is short of charge.

Be careful not to overcharge the machine.overcharging will result in considerable liquidlogging in the condenser, and excessivecondensing pressure.

To add refrigerant, connect a refrigerant vessel tothe 1/4" back seating port of the suction valve.Purge the air from the tube with refrigerant gasbefore connecting. With the unit running, openthe refrigerant vessel vapor connection slightly. Ifthe refrigerant vessel is warmer than the cooler,refrigerant will more readily flow from the vesselinto the unit.

5.8 OIL CHARGEThe proper oil charge is in the unit as suppliedfrom the factory. Any operating compressorshould show oil return and oil overflow at alltime. If for some reason, a compressor runs lowon oil, a low oil level switch in the compressorwill shut it down before any damage is done. Inthe event of a low oil shutdown, call a D/Bauthorized service agent to correct the problem.DO NOT ADD OIL TO THE SYSTEM.

Note: Only Suniso 4GS oil may be used in thispackage. Use of other oil is not approvedby Dunham-Bush, and will result in poorperformance of the package.
