The microKool portable chillers are designed to provide
chilled water for industrial applications requiring 24-hour-a-
day performance.
WHAT IS THE
MICROKOOL
CHILLER?
Operation of air-cooled and water-cooled units differ only in
the medium used to remove heat from the refrigerant in the
condensers.
Water-cooled models use 85° F (29° C) cooling tower water,
and are equipped with high efficiency tube-in-tube condensers
with water regulating valves.
Air-cooled models use 95° F (35° C) ambient air and alu-
minum-fin, copper-tube condensers. Units above 1.5 Hp
include automatic fan cycling controls.
Units are totally self-contained for easy, economical installa-
tion. To operate, simply connect the power source, process
piping and fill with water or an industrial antifreeze mixture.
The standard PC-1 microprocessor control displays setpoint
and actual temperature of the process fluid, and provides SPI
communication. Nine operating and fault indicator lights dis-
play the status of the chiller components.
The enhanced PC-2 control offers the same features as the
standard control plus autostart capabilities, which enables the
chiller to start automatically with a timing device or the start-
ing of the primary process machine.
These chillers are ideal for cooling to maintain process tem-
peratures in an injection molding machine or extruder and
wherever you need a small, moveable cooling unit.
TYPICAL
APPLICATIONS
Capacities range from 1.2 to 10.2 tons. Standard operating set-
points are between 20° F (-7° C) and 65° F (19° C) LWT.
Adequate freeze protection is required.
Choose water-cooled portable chillers:
● for maximum capacity and minimal maintenance.
● when maintaining ambient air temperature is important,
such as an air-conditioned environment.
● when tower water or another inexpensive water source is
available.
Choose air-cooled portable chillers.
● when plant water supply is inadequate or limited.
● when process heat must be extracted and used for space
heating.

DESCRIPTION
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Water-cooled models use tube-in-tube heat exchangers to
condense the hot, compressed, refrigerant gas from the
compressor to a cool liquid.
HOW IT WORKS:
WATER COOLED
The cool liquid refrigerant passes through a filter/dryer,
which protects the system from moisture or other contami-
nants. An in-line sight glass gives a visual indication of
proper refrigerant charge and any dangerous moisture pre-
sent in the system.
The refrigerant passes through a thermal expansion valve,
where it expands, cools and is precisely metered into the
refrigerant heat exchanger (evaporator).
The evaporator removes the heat from the process fluid.

FEATURES
High Efficiency Compressors
All microKool chillers are equipped with quiet
Copeland hermetically sealed compressors. Hot-
gas bypass capacity control is standard, permit-
ting efficient operation with cooling loads as low
as 25% of rated chiller capacities.
Control Extension
Controls can be extended
approximately 11 inches
from the control base.
Molded Plastic
Reservoirs
Large,thick-walled,
insulated polyethylene
reservoirs provide
corrosion-free operation.
Low-water level sensors,
external fill ports and level
indicators are standard.
Water Connections
All chilled water and con-
denser water connections
are welded to the struc-
ture. Every unit includes
bronze chilled water sup-
ply and return valves.
Water-cooled
unit shown
Corrosion-Free Evaporators
On models through 7.5 Hp, chilled water flows through heavy
gauge tube-in-tube evaporators. The water comes in contact with
only copper surfaces, eliminating corrosion and scale build-up
that can severely reduce chiller efficiency. Low pressure drops,
averaging less than 2 psi, result in more flow to the process.
Performance-engineered condensers
Water-cooled models are equipped
with high efficiency, non-ferrous
tube-in-tube condensers and water
regulating valves. Air-cooled mod-
els have aluminum fin, copper tube
condensers. MPA models with
compressors above 1.5 Hp have
automatic fan cycling controls.

Make sure the installation area provides:
❒
A three-phase power source supplying the correct
current for your chiller model. Check the serial tag on the
side of the electrical enclosure for the required voltage,
phase, frequency, full load amps, disconnect fuse size and
minimum wire connection size. Field wiring should be
completed by qualified personnel to the planned location
for the chiller. All electrical wiring should comply with
your region’s electrical codes.
❒
A clean, well-ventilated environment.
The room temperature should not exceed 110° F (43° C)
with 95% non-condensing humidity and should not fall
below 55° F (12° C).
❒
Minimum clearance for safe operation and mainte-
nance. Nothing should be placed on top of the unit while
the unit is operating. All models require a minimum clear-
ance of 5 ft. around the perimeter for servicing. Models
equipped with fans also require unrestricted outlet air flow.
❒
A source of water for cooling on water-cooled units.
City, tower or chiller water may be used, as long as the
supply pressure is at least 25 psi and not more than 85 psi.
3
Install plumbing for process and cooling lines.
See the specification tables for the correct line and fitting
sizes. Larger line sizes are acceptable as long as they are
reduced at the chiller connections. Smaller line sizes are
not recommended.

CONNECTING
THE MAIN
POWER SUPPLY
This equipment is powered by three-phase main
voltage. Always disconnect and lock out the main
power source before performing any work
involving electrical connections. All wiring,
disconnects and fusing should conform to your
region’s electrical codes and should be installed
only by qualified personnel.
Before beginning, note the electrical specifications on the
nameplate mounted to the side of the unit. The electrical
hookup must match these specifications with +/- 10% maxi-
mum voltage variance. An improper power supply could
damage the unit as well as seriously injure an operator.
IMPORTANT: Always refer
to the wiring diagrams that
came with your unit before
making electrical connec-
tions. The diagrams show
the most accurate electrical
component information.
The electrical hookup also should run through a fused dis-
connect sized for the nameplate amperage and conforming to
Article 250 of the National Electrical Code.

WARNING: Electric shock hazard
PERFORMING AN
AUTO TUNE
This equipment is powered by high voltage. Always
disconnect and lock out the main power source
before opening the unit or the electrical enclosure to
modify factory settings. Failure to disconnect and
lock out the main power source can result in severe
personal injury.
You should perform an Auto Tune after the first two hours of
operation and whenever process variables change (changes in
condenser water pressure, piping or molds; large ambient
swings; new setpoint temperature) to ensure that the control
continues to obtain good approximations of the PID constants
used to compensate for the thermal lag of the system.
To ensure a successful Auto Tune, verify that:
❒ The Auto Tune feature has been enabled. Auto Tune is
enabled or disabled via dip switch 2 on the motherboard.
❒ The process value is stable. A fluctuating process value
will fool the software into making inaccurate tuning deci-
sions. The software waits 5 minutes for the process value to
stabilize before it starts the Auto Tune process. If the
process value still fluctuates after 5 minutes, the Auto Tune
terminates and the control displays the “At ti” error.
❒ The control is in STOP mode and the process value is in
ambient temperature. This allows the software to obtain
good approximations of process parameters, which are crit-
ical for performing an accurate tune. If this requirement is
not met, then a good tune cannot be guaranteed.
❒ The setpoint/process deviation is at least 25° F. If the
absolute value of setpoint - process temperature is not
greater than or equal to 25° F, the Auto Tune will terminate.
The control will display an “At dEV” error.

PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
●
Whenever process variables change
❒
Perform an Auto Tune.
The Auto Tune ensures that the control continues to
obtain good approximations of the PID constants used
to compensate for the thermal lag of the system.. You
should perform an Auto Tune after the first two hours of
operation and whenever the process changes, such as
after a mold change; installation of different pipe sizes;
or change in process setpoint. See PERFORMING AN
AUTO TUNE in the OPERATION section.
●
Weekly, or as often as needed
❒
Check for leaks in condenser and process lines.
Before and during operation, you should inspect the
unit and all plumbing lines for leaks. If a leak develops,
stop the chiller and repair it.
❒
Keep the unit and the area around it clean.
Check for and remove lint, dust or other obstructions on
the unit, especially around air intake areas. Keep the
floor around the unit dry. If you notice a decrease in
efficiency over time, check all heat transfer surfaces of
the evaporator and condenser for fouling. See CLEANING
EVAPORATORS AND CONDENSERS.
❒
Check the process fluid level.
Check the level indicator on the back of the unit to
make sure the tank contains an adequate amount of
process fluid. Refill as needed. See REFILLING THE TANK.
●
Monthly, or as often as needed.
❒
Check the refrigerant charge.
A sight glass located between the condenser and
evaporator indicates refrigerant pressure. See
CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE.
❒
Clean all external surfaces.
Surfaces fouled by dust, dirt, slime, minerals and other
contaminants will decrease performance. Wipe all
external surfaces, paying particular attention to heat
transfer surfaces. Clean the air-cooled condenser
surfaces if you find dirt or clogging.
❒
Check the water treatment system.
If you use a water treatment system for the water-cooled
condenser or the process fluid circuit, maintain the
proper chemical levels and follow the recommendations
of your water treatment specialist.

❒
Inspect power cords, wires and electrical
connections.
Check for loose or frayed wires, burned contacts, and
signs of overheated wires. Check exterior power cords
to the main power source and from the electrical box to
the pump and heating elements. Check the ground wire
and thermocouple connections. Replace any wire that
appears damaged or has worn or cracked insulation.
Annually (every 12 months)
❒
Test and calibrate the unit’s control systems.
The chiller’s Test Mode checks the operation
of displays, control buttons, inputs and outputs. You
can also calibrate the supply and return thermocouples.
See PERFORMING SYSTEM TESTS in this section.
❒
Clean all surfaces that come in contact with water.
Minerals and other water contaminants cause heat-
transfer surface fouling and decrease performance,
especially in the water-cooled chiller’s condenser. Clean
all water-cooled condenser surfaces. The refrigerant side
does not foul because the refrigerant acts as a solvent
and operates in a closed filter cycle. See CLEANING
EVAPORATORS AND CONDENSERS in this section.
WARNING: Improper servicing may
result in equipment damage or per-
sonal injury.
This equipment should be installed, adjusted,
and serviced by qualified technical personnel
who are familiar with the construction, opera-
tion and potential hazards of this type of equip-
ment.
All wiring, disconnects and fuses should be
installed by qualified electrical technicians in
accordance with electrical codes in your region.
Only certified refrigerant technicians should
recharge the refrigerant used in this system.
Always disconnect and lock out the incoming
main power source before opening the electri-
cal enclosure or performing non-standard oper-
ating procedures, such as troubleshooting or
maintenance. Only qualified personnel should
perform procedures that require access to the
electrical enclosure while power is on.

You can avoid most problems by following the recommended
installation, operation and maintenance procedures outlined in
this User Guide. If you do have a problem, this section will
help you determine what caused it and tell you how to fix it.
BEFORE
BEGINNING
Before you begin troubleshooting:
❏ Find the wiring, plumbing and other diagrams
that were shipped with your equipment. These
diagrams are the best reference for correcting a problem.
The diagrams also will note any custom features, such as
special wiring, control or plumbing options, not covered in
this User Guide.
❏Verify that you have manuals for other equip-
ment in the process line. Solving problems may
require troubleshooting malfunctions or incorrect operating
procedures on other pieces of equipment.
❏ If an alarm is present, note any indicator lights
and messages shown on the control panel. These
indicators will help you discover the cause of the problem
more quickly.
The chiller is equipped with many safety devices. Do not
remove or defeat them. Improper corrective action can lead to
hazardous conditions, and should never be attempted to sus-
tain production.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
REPLACING THE
COMPRESSOR
CONTACTOR
Only qualified service personnel who have been
trained on electrical testing and the procedures for
avoiding the hazards should diagnose or correct prob-
lems that require opening the unit with power on.
The compressor may be located in the compressor electrical
enclosure or in the main chiller electrical enclosure, depend-
ing on the model of your chiller.
IMPORTANT: Always
refer to the wiring dia-
grams that came with
your chiller to locate spe-
cific electrical compo-
nents. Illustrations in the
User Guide are intended
to be representative only.
The compressor contactor should be replaced if:
●You have checked the amp draw on each of the three-phase
legs and discovered a voltage imbalance greater than 10%.
● You have checked the continuity and found that ohms at
the coil equal zero.
To replace the compressor contactor:
Disconnect and lockout the main power.
1
Open the electrical enclosure. Turn the screw on
the front panel counterclockwise to open.
2
Disconnect the wires from the compressor con-
3
tactor contactor. Label the wires to ensure you can
connect them correctly to the new contactor.
Remove and discard the old contactor.

Reverse this procedure to install the new con-
tactor. Make sure the wires are connected correctly.

The unloader valve is located between the compressor and the
condenser on both air-cooled and water-cooled chillers. It
works only during low demand conditions, when loads are up
to 24% below normal.
CHECKING THE
UNLOADER
VALVE
During low-load conditions, the compressor cycles off. To
decrease the frequency of cycling, which is harmful to the
compressor, the microKool uses an unloader valve to channel
some of the hot refrigerant gas from the compressor directly
back into the condenser. This increases the temperature within
the condenser, simulating an increased load and keeping the
compressor running at full capacity.
You can check whether the unloader valve is working properly
by observing its behavior while the microKool is running.
1
2
Clear any alarms and restart the chiller.
Watch for the following:
❒ The unloader valve light should turn on for 2 seconds
when the compressor starts. You should hear the sole-
noid activate when the unloader valve light turns on.
❒ If the process fluid temperature is below the setpoint,
the unloader valve should stay lit until the temperature
of the process fluid exceeds the setpoint.
❒ If the process fluid temperature is above the setpoint,
the unloader valve light should turn off after 2 seconds.
You can verify that the unloader valve is inactive by
checking the refrigerant line from the solenoid valve to
the expansion valve. The line should be cool.
If the line is hot all the way to the expansion valve,
then the unloader valve is active. The solenoid valve
may be leaking, or the unloader valve may be stuck
open with power still supplied to the solenoid.
NOTE: Units with the enhanced PC-2 control have two
unloader valves that work together.
