2-2 General Description  
Our portable chillers are reliable, accurate, and easy to use process cooling units. They are  
available in air-, water-, and remote air-cooled designs in a range of sizes from 2 to 40 tons.  
All are self-contained, fully portable and shipped ready to use. (Remote air-cooled chillers  
require field installation by qualified technicians.)  
Standard range of operation is 30ºF to 65ºF (-1ºC to 18ºC) for applications using a  
water/glycol mix and 45ºF to 65ºF (7º to 18ºC) for water only applications.  
A factory installed crankcase pressure regulating valve option is available for processes  
requiring a leaving water temperature of up to 75ºF (24ºC).  
Chilled Water Circuit  
Cooling water “To Process” and “From Process” connections are made at the gate valves  
provided outside the unit. Warm coolant (water and glycol mixture) returns from the process  
and goes into the reservoir tank. The coolant is then pumped through the evaporator where it  
is cooled. The coolant flows to the process and returns to repeat the cycle.  
A pressure actuated process water bypass valve located between the supply line and reservoir  
tank (single pump models only) allows minimal flow through the unit during the intermittent  
fluctuating flow conditions. It is not intended to provide continuous full bypass flow.  
This minimal flow allows the temperature sensor to signal the controller to shut down the  
compressor because of the drop in process water temperature. Typically the flow switch shuts  
down the chiller in this low flow condition.  
The 2 hp and 3 1/2 hp models have a 1/4” poly-tubing constant bypass to provide additional  
process water bypass to prevent system freeze-up.  
Refrigeration Circuit  
Air-, water-, and remote air-cooled refrigerant condensing differs only in the way the  
compressed gas is condensed to a liquid.  
Liquid refrigerant from the condenser heat exchanger flowing in the liquid line passes  
through a shut-off valve (5 hp to 40 hp chillers only) into a filter/dryer that removes moisture  
and other contaminants. A refrigerant sight glass is provided. The refrigerant then passes  
through the thermal expansion valve, which allows the refrigerant to expand (boil off) and  
cool the fluid inside of the evaporator. The refrigerant gas flows through the suction linen  
back into the compressor.  
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.  
A 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.

2-4 Safety Devices and Interlocks  
High/Low Thermostat Control  
The high/low thermostat is a cutout device that protects the chiller system in two ways. Stage  
one of the thermostat shuts down the compressor if the chilled process water/glycol  
temperature approaches the particular mixture’s freezing point. The chilled process  
water/glycol pump will continue to run.  
The high/low thermostat stage one cutout temperature is factory-set at 42ºF (5.5ºC). This is  
correct for a supply water temperature of 50ºF (10ºC), the rated capacity operating  
temperature. If you want lower chilled water temperatures, mix process water with glycol to  
provide protection down to 20ºF (11ºC) below the operating “To Process” temperature you  
want. You can then reset the high/low thermostat cutout temperature to a temperature 8ºF  
(4.4ºC) below the operating temperature you want.  
Stage two of the high/low thermostat shuts down the pumps, therefore shutting off the chiller,  
if the chilled process water/glycol temperature rises above the selected cutout point. This  
prevents possible damage to the complete process piping system due to overheating of the  
components by the process water/glycol. The thermostat stage two cutout temperature is  
factory set at 100ºF (38ºC). See Section 4-6 on page 36 for information about changing the  
thermostat settings.  
Caution! Protect the system from freezing with glycol 20ºF below the leaving water  
temperature set point. Condensation may form inside the pump tank and dilute  
the mixture, therefore the freezing point should be verified periodically. See  
Figure 6 on page 26 for the correct mixture.  
Caution! Set high/low thermostat cutout temperature 8ºF below the set point leaving  
water temperature.  
Crankcase Heater  
5 hp through 40 hp portable chillers have a crankcase heater. It is wired through the control  
transformer that operates continuously whenever power is applied to the chiller.  
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 375 psi for an air-cooled chiller and 290 psi  
for a water-cooled chiller.  
Note:  
The high-pressure cutout is a manual reset device typically mounted on the  
compressor discharge line inside the mechanical cabinet. Call a refrigeration  
service technician to analyze the problem and reset the control.

Low Pressure Cutout  
This electro-mechanical cutout device opens the compressor control circuit if refrigeration  
system compressor suction pressure drops below 15 psi. It automatically resets when  
refrigerant suction pressure reaches 30 psi.  
Note:  
The low pressure cutout is an automatic reset device typically mounted on the  
compressor suction line inside the mechanical cabinet. Call a refrigeration  
service technician to analyze the problem and reset the control.  
Oil Pressure Safety Switch  
This mechanical cutout device is installed on chillers built with semi-hermetic compressors  
that have oil pumps. A differential pressure switch monitors the difference between crankcase  
pressure and oil pump pressure.  
If the pressure drops to an unsafe level for more than two minutes, the switch opens the  
control wiring circuit, shutting off the compressor and turning the light on, but the pumps will  
continue running.  
Note:  
The oil pressure safety switch is a manual reset device. Call a refrigeration  
service technician to analyze the problem and reset the control.  
Fan Cycling Switch  
Air-cooled models only. 5 hp and 7.5 hp models have one fan. The fan cycling switch turns  
on the fan when the discharge pressure in the condenser reaches 300 psi and turns it off when  
the pressure drops below 190 psi.  
10 hp to 30 hp models have two fans. One fan runs continuously every time the compressor  
operates. The second fan turns on when the discharge pressure in the condenser reaches 275  
psi and turns off when the pressure drops below 200 psi.  
Pressure Switch  
2 hp and 3 1/2 hp models have a pressure switch cutout device mounted in the process piping.  
The switch shuts down the chiller if it senses that the water/glycol pressure through the  
evaporator has dropped below an acceptable level. The pressure switch opens the control  
circuit, shuts down the pumps, and shuts off the chiller.  
Flow Switch  
5 hp to 40 hp models only. The flow switch cutout device, mounted in the process piping,  
shuts down the chiller if senses that the water/glycol flow rate through the evaporator has  
dropped below an acceptable level. The flow switch opens the control circuit and shuts down  
the pumps and the chiller.  
Remote Start/Stop Interlock  
An additional contact is provided to allow the remote starting or stopping of the chiller. To  
use this feature, remove the jumper between terminals X1 and 1, and supply a switch or dry  
contact interlock connected in series between these two terminals. Refer to the schematic  
inside the control enclosure door.

2-5 Optional Features  
Options marked with “*” indicate options that can be factory installed or retrofitted in the  
field.  
Automatic Water Make-Up*. Not available on chillers less reservoir tank. Includes a  
pressure-regulating valve set at 3 to 5 psi, an electric water solenoid valve, a float switch  
mounted in the reservoir tank, and the necessary internal piping to connect the chiller to a  
make-up water source. See Appendix for typical piping diagrams.  
Caution! Customer piping must provide backflow protection and venting of tank to  
atmosphere to prevent over-pressurization of the reservoir tank. See Central  
and Gravity Return Piping with Standpipe Diagram on page 64.  
Process Water Sidestream Filter*. Not available on chillers less pump and reservoir tank.  
Includes a 50 micron filter, flow meter, ball valve for throttling water flow, and the necessary  
piping to provide constant filtering of the process water at about one gallon per minute (1  
gpm/3.8lpm).  
General Fault Indicator Audible Alarm*. Includes an 85 dB @ 2 ft. audible alarm buzzer  
and silence button with provisions for customer wiring indication interlock. The alarm signals  
anytime that a fault is recognized during the operation of the chiller.  
General Fault Indicator Audible/Visual Alarm*. Includes a 100 dB @ 10 ft. audible alarm  
horn/ 108,000 peak candlepower 80-flash/min. visual alarm strobe and silence button with  
provisions for customer wiring indication interlock. The alarm signals anytime that a fault is  
recognized during the operation of the chiller.  
Compressor Hour Meter*. Includes a DIN-mount hour meter that keeps track of the total  
time that the compressor runs.  
Communications Options. RS-232C and RS-485 communications standards are available.  
Recirculation Pump. Necessary whenever process water flow is less than 2.2 gpm per ton  
(8.3 lpm per 3.517 kW) or greater than 4.8 gpm per ton (18.2 lpm per 3.517 kW).  
High Pressure Fans. Provides for an additional 0.30”WC (75 pa) of static pressure on fan  
discharge. High-pressure fans are necessary and must be included in chiller installations  
where exiting air exhausts through ductwork.  
The fans are available on 5 to 15 hp air-cooled chillers. They can be retrofitted without sheet  
metal modification, but will require changing out fan blades, and in some cases, fan motors  
and electrical components. 20 hp to 30 hp models come standard with squirrel cage blowers,  
which can be ducted.  
Variable Speed Fan. Available on 5 to 15 hp air-cooled chillers. Reduces the speed of the  
fan based on entering air temperature and system load, allowing the chiller to operate in  
ambient temperatures below 60ºF (15.5ºC). This option will also reduce fan noise in ambients  
below 95ºF (35ºC).  
Crankcase Pressure Regulating (CPR) Valve. Required on chillers operating at leaving  
water temperatures from 66ºF to 75ºF (10ºC to 24ºC). This valve prevents compressor motor  
overloading.

Chapter 3: Installation  
3-1 Uncrating  
2 hp to 5 hp models are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and  
contained in a cardboard box. 7.5 to 40 hp 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.  
Note:  
2 to 5 hp models: remove the nails holding the box to the skid and  
lift the box off carefully, avoiding staples in the 1’ x 4’ wood  
supports. Cut the steel banding.  
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. (20 hp to  
40 hp units feature special lifting openings.) Lift slowly and only high enough to  
clear the skid. Use a pry bar if necessary to carefully remove the skid from the unit.  
4. Lower slowly. The unit should land on its casters or rails and can then be moved into  
position.  
5. Temporary hardware has been installed to prevent side panels from shifting in transit.  
Remove hardware.  
6. Retain the crating material for reshipping the chiller in case hidden shipping damage  
is found.  
Caution! Never remove the unit from the front (electrical control end) or the rear (pipe  
connection end). Damage may result.  
3-2 Electrical Connections  
Supply electricity of the voltage, phase, and cycle listed on the serial tag. Total running amps  
are also found in the specification tables on pages 45-57 in the Appendix.  
Bring properly sized power leads and ground from a fused disconnect (installed by your  
electrician) to the unit. Use dual-element fuses in the disconnect switch, sized according to  
the National Electrical Code recommendations. Note the outline drawings for egress into the  
cabinet. Make sure all electrical connections are tight.  
Typical wiring schematics are located on pages 70-78 in the Appendix.  
Warning! Make sure that electrical connections comply with all applicable electrical  
codes. Ground the chiller in accordance with NEC Article 250.  
Operation voltage must be within plus or minus 10% of the nameplate rating.  
Phase imbalance must be below 10%

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 on pages 58-61 in the Appendix. The largest possible  
openings and passages should be provided for the flow of chilled water through platens, dies,  
molds, or other pieces of equipment.  
Note:  
Be sure to reduce external pressure drop as much as possible by generously  
sizing piping and tooling water passageways.  
3-4 Bypass Valve Considerations  
Our portable chillers have a spring-loaded bypass valve. If the chilled water shut-off valves  
are inadvertently closed while the chiller is running, the factory-set bypass valve opens and  
allows a small amount of water to flow through the chiller. This action protects the chiller  
from freeze-up and allows the other cutout devices to shut down the chiller. The bypass valve  
is not intended to provide continuous full bypass flow.  
Caution! Do not attempt to adjust or otherwise tamper with the bypass valve. Your  
warranty will be voided.  
3-5 Galvanic Corrosion Considerations  
The materials used in the water circuit piping of these chillers are non-ferrous and react  
electro-chemically with ferrous metallic materials. Some water has dissolved minerals that  
greatly accelerate the reaction between dissimilar metals.  
PVC or non-ferrous piping is recommended to reduce galvanic action. If iron piping must be  
used, use dielectric unions at the chiller.  
3-6 Water Treatment Considerations  
Water treatment is an integral part of the system. In some locations, water may cause large  
deposits of scale, erosion, algae, and/or corrosion.  
The use of poor quality water may result in inefficient operation, heat exchanger damage, and  
pump seal damage. Consult a qualified water treatment specialist to determine whether  
treatment is needed.  
We offer a complete line of water treatment equipment. Contact your sales representative for  
water testing and treatment options.

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’ll 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.  
Make sure that water is supplied at a maximum temperature of 85ºF (29ºC) and a minimum  
pressure of 25 psi.  
Caution! The water-regulating valve is set at the factory. Only a qualified refrigeration  
technician should adjust it.  
Normal R-22 refrigerant condensing pressure is 210 psi, with 85ºF (27ºC) water at 25 psi  
entering condenser water pressure  
Condenser Water Out. Condenser water return, labeled “Condenser Water Out”, is located  
at the rear of the chiller. It is the outlet for water after it has passed through the condenser.  
It is connected to the tower inlet or to a sewer or other approved discharge receiver. A water-  
regulating valve is a standard feature in the condenser water return line.  
Air-Cooled Chiller Condensers  
Air-cooled chillers use the surrounding air to cool the condenser. Install the chiller in an area  
where there is free passage of air for condensing and provisions for removal of heated air  
from the area. Do not locate air-cooled chillers in locations where steam, hot air, or fume  
exhausts can be drawn into the chiller. A typical ductwork diagram is located on page 63 in  
the Appendix of this manual.  
Caution! Clean air-cooled condensers and filters frequently. Failure to do so results in  
reduced capacity, increased operating costs, and possible failure of the  
equipment. Cleaning instructions can be found on page 38 in the Maintenance  
chapter of this manual  
Normal maximum refrigerant condensing pressure with 95ºF (35ºC) air entering the  
condenser is 260 psi.  
Condensing Air Temperature. Our air-cooled portable chillers are designed to operate at a  
minimum condenser entering air temperature of approximately 60ºF (15.5ºC). Operation of  
the equipment at a lower condenser entering air temperature can cause the chiller to lose  
capacity. For entering air temperatures below 60ºF, an optional fan motor speed control is  
available. We recommend maintaining a minimum 60ºF ambient temperature.

Remote Air-Cooled Chiller Condensers  
Remote air-cooled portable chillers are shipped with nitrogen holding charge and a full  
charge of oil (excluding the amount needed for field piping). The remote air condenser is  
shipped with a dry air charge. Verify that the holding charge has not been lost prior to  
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. Use a tube cutter to remove caps.  
Caution! Do not use a saw to remove the end caps because this will allow copper chips to  
contaminate the system.  
A certified refrigeration contractor need only to install the interconnecting refrigerant piping  
between the chiller and the outdoor air-cooled condenser. This piping must be properly sized,  
type “L” or type “K” refrigerant grade tubing, high temperature brazed, Install a customer  
supplied 400 psi approved refrigerant relief valve in the discharge line at the condenser,  
following all codes.  
When brazing copper joints, flow dry nitrogen through the system to prevent carbon/scale  
formation, which causes contamination. Isolate the refrigerant lines from the building,  
preventing transfer of line vibration to the structure. Do not secure the lines rigidly.  
Leak check and evacuate the system down to 400 microns. A decay of 50 microns after one  
hour is acceptable.  
Warning! To prevent injury or death due to explosion and/or inhalation of phosgene gas,  
purge system thoroughly while brazing refrigerant piping connections. Use a  
pressure regulator in the line between the unit and the high-pressure nitrogen  
cylinder to avoid over-pressurization and possible explosion.

System Configuration. The system can be configured in any of the arrangements shown on  
page 62 of the Appendix. The configuration and distance between the chiller and the  
condenser affects pipe size, refrigerant charge, oil return, and oil charge. Therefore there are  
limitations that must be adhered to for reliable and optimal operation.  
Leaving water temperature affects discharge line size. Be sure to inform the installing  
contractor of the leaving water temperature range in which the chiller will be operating  
The total distance between the chiller and condenser must not exceed 200 feet or 300  
equivalent pipe feet  
Discharge line risers cannot exceed an elevation difference greater than 100 feet  
without a 2% efficiency decrease.  
Refer to page 62 of the Appendix for the location of traps.  
Refrigeration lines must not be crossed, i.e., chiller liquid lines are to be piped to  
condenser liquid lines.  
Sizing Refrigerant Lines. To determine field installed liquid and discharge line sizes, first  
establish the equivalent length of pipe for each line, valve, and elbow. Chiller capacity and  
leaving water temperature range is also required. See Figure 2 on page 22 for lengths of  
refrigerant valves and fittings.  
Liquid Line Sizing. The liquid line should be sized as small as possible while maintaining  
acceptable pressure drop to minimize the refrigerant charge. Liquid line risers must not  
exceed 15 feet from the base of the air-cooled condenser. Horizontal runs do not require a  
pitch. Insulation is not required unless the line is installed in a high ambient area, i.e., boiler  
room. Install a liquid line-charging valve to facilitate refrigerant charging. See Figure 3 on  
page 22 for sizing information. See Figure 5 on page 23 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. See Figure 4 on page 22 for discharge line sizing.

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. The final operating charge  
must be verified by running the system and checking the liquid line sight glass.

Oil Charge Determination. The remote air-cooled portable chillers are factory charged with  
the amount of oil required without field-installed piping. Additional oil required is dependent  
on the amount of additional refrigerant added.  
Calculate the amount of additional oil required by using the following formula:  
Pints of oil (Sunisco 3GS) = lbs. of R-22 added for field installed piping / 100.

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.  
Reversing rotation direction results in an elevated sound level and a substantially-reduced  
current draw.  
Water Pumps  
Correct pump rotation is indicated by a positive pressure of 20 to 40 psi on the pump pressure  
gauge. Pump rotation should be clockwise when viewed from the motor end. For chillers with  
optional pumps, check the appropriate pump curve in the Appendix.  
Caution! Do not run pump dry. Doing so will result in seal damage.  
Condenser Fan  
Air should be drawn through the condenser and discharged vertically from the chiller.

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. During startup and when additional  
solution is required, refer to the ethylene glycol and propylene glycol curves in Figure 6 on  
page 26. Add a pre-mixed solution of industrial quality (not automotive) ethylene glycol or  
propylene glycol and water to provide freeze protection to a temperature 20ºF (11ºC) below  
the normal chiller operating temperature set point.  
Glycol and/or water, with an inhibitor, should be used to protect the materials (copper, steel,  
stainless steel, and bronze) in the system from corrosion. If you intend to use straight water,  
we strongly advise a minimum leaving water temperature of 50ºF (10ºC) or contact the  
service department.  
The following glycol products are available:  
Part Number Description  
A0541358  
A0539637  
A0542990  
A0542991  
Ethylene glycol, 5 gallons (18.9 liters)  
Ethylene glycol, 55 gallons (208.2 liters)  
Propylene glycol, 5 gallons (18.9 liters)  
Propylene glycol, 55 gallons (208.2 liters)  
Caution! Do not connect make-up water directly to the chilled water reservoir unless you  
have an approved automatic water make-up system installed.  
The reservoir is not designed to withstand water pressure. The fill opening and vent line must  
be vented to the atmosphere for proper operation. The optional automatic make-up system is  
described in section 3-10 on page 27.  
Caution! Do not pressurize tank. Fill and vent lines must be open to atmosphere. Supply  
and return connections must be trapped and vented to allow vertical risers to  
drain into tank. Do not overfill system. Allow enough free space in tank for  
vertical piping to drain.  
If your application has chilled water or process piping above the reservoir fill and vent level,  
trap and vent the supply and return lines to allow vertical piping to drain into tank. (See page  
64.)  
Note:  
In applications where the process or process piping is above the reservoir, take  
steps to prevent over pressurization of the reservoir. This condition can occur  
on system shutdown when the water in the system drains into the reservoir. To  
prevent this, a vacuum breaker should be installed at the high point of the “To  
Process” and “From Process” lines. See page 64.

3-10 Automatic Water Make-Up Option  
The chiller may be connected to an automatic make-up system if the optional package (float  
switch, pressure regulating, pipe fittings, solenoid valve and 1/2” NPT city water make-up  
connection) is factory installed.  
Refer to the typical piping schematics on pages 64-69 in the Appendix for additional  
components necessary for this installation.  
Prevent reservoir over-pressurization by setting the required pressure-regulating valve to limit  
make-up water pressure to less than 5 psi. The reservoir must remain vented to the  
atmosphere.  
If the automatic make-up system is connected to a city water system, make provisions to  
prevent backflow contamination. Install an approved backflow preventer in accordance with  
local codes.  
Caution! Adding straight city water into a glycol/water mixture dilutes the solution and  
eventually leads to system freeze-up. Damage from freeze-up is not covered by  
the warranty.  
To prevent system freeze-up in automatic make-up applications, we recommend using either  
a chemical feeder or make-up reservoir to replenish glycol. Contact the sales department for  
more information about these configurations.

3-11 Initial Start-Up  
Check the shipping papers against the serial tag to be sure chiller size, type and voltage  
is correct for the process that will be controlled. Portable chillers are built with a  
voltage specific compressor and cannot be re-wired for an alternate voltage.  
Check the transformer primary voltage connections to be sure they are configured for  
the electrical power you are using. The voltage at the main power connection must read  
within plus or minus ten percent (±10%) of the voltage listed on the serial tag.  
Electrical connections must conform to all applicable codes.  
Complete chilled water To Process and From Process connections.  
Make sure the chilled water To and From process valves on the chiller are open.  
Be sure the reservoir tank and chilled water circuit piping are filled to the full mark  
with a water/glycol mixture. The water/glycol mixture should provide for freeze  
protection to at least 20°F (11ºC) below the leaving water temperature you want.  
The air-cooled condenser should have an adequate supply of 60º to 95ºF (16º to 35ºC)  
air for proper operation.  
The tower or city water condenser cooling in and out connections should be completed  
and an adequate supply of 85ºF (30ºC) tower or 70ºF (21ºC) city water, at 25 psi  
pressure, for proper operation.  
Connect the main 3 phase incoming power to the unit making certain that line one (1)  
L1 is connected to the A phase, line two (2) L2 is connected to the B phase, and line  
three (3) L3 is connected to the C phase. Check for proper rotation direction of fan(s)  
and pump(s). 2 hp and 3 hp models are single phase.  
The crankcase heater is automatically energized when the main power is applied. It  
should be on for at least 24 hours before startup to force dissolved refrigerant from the  
compressor oil.

Chapter 5: Maintenance  
5-1 Lubrication  
Grease all blower bearings, fan and blower motors, and pump motors that do not have  
permanently sealed bearings. 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.  
Refrigeration compressors are hermetically sealed and no lubrication is required.  
5-2 Filter Cleaning  
Air filter cleaning is important to keep your air-cooled portable chiller operating at peak  
efficiency and capacity. Clean the filters whenever they appear dirty, or at regularly  
scheduled intervals.  
1. Turn the chiller off.  
2. Slide the filter up off of the retaining pins holding it in place along its bottom.  
3. Tip the bottom of the filter away from the chiller.  
4. Slide it down and out.  
5. Wash down the filter with clean water (preferably with a garden hose), directing the flow  
of water opposite the direction of airflow. If dirt is heavy, use a mild detergent and rinse  
well. Allow the filter to dry completely before replacing it on the chiller.  
Note:  
Keep a spare air filter set on hand. Install and use it while cleaning).  
Caution! Do not use compressed air to blow off a dirty filter. It will not clean very well,  
and the filter could be damaged. Never run the chiller without properly  
installed filters.

5-3 Maintaining the Condenser  
Dirty condenser heat exchange surfaces reduce system capacity and efficiency.  
Air- and Remote Air-Cooled Chillers  
Brush or vacuum light dirt accumulations off the aluminum condenser fins. Avoid bending or  
damaging them. Heavy dirt accumulations on the fins may require professional cleaning.  
Water-Cooled Chillers  
Proper water treatment will greatly reduce cleaning intervals.  
Coaxial Condensers (2 to 7.5 hp chillers). Remove dirt and slime in the condenser tube  
water side by reverse-circulating with a mild detergent and water solution. Remove mineral  
deposits by reverse circulating Liquid Inhibited Acid De-Scaling Solution (Part No.  
A0502600) through the water side of the condenser. Follow the directions on the container.  
Shell & Tube Condensers (10 to 40 hp chillers). Remove dirt and slime in the condenser  
tube water side by cleaning with a nylon tube brush. Remove mineral deposits by reverse  
circulating Liquid Inhibited Acid De-Scaling Solution (Part No. A0502600) through the tube  
water side of the condenser. Follow the directions on the container.  
The refrigerant side is sealed and requires no routine maintenance.  
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.  
Remove mineral deposits by reverse-circulating Liquid Citric Acid De-Scaling Solution (Part  
No. A0536607). Follow the directions on the container.  
5-5 Evaporator Process Piping Y-Strainer  
The process piping Y-strainer requires periodic cleaning of its screen to insure the proper  
flow through the evaporator. To clean the strainer screen, remove the access plug and  
retaining cap, and pull out the screen.  
Wipe, brush, or vacuum out any dirt left in the strainer body. Clean the screen and replace it  
in the strainer taking care to fit it squarely into the machined seat provided.  
Caution! Do not forget to re-install the screen after cleaning it. Operating the chiller  
with no strainer screen can potentially plug the evaporator with dirt. The  
warranty does not cover chiller failures from a dirty evaporator.

Any replacement part assumes the unused portion of this warranty.  
This parts warranty does not cover any labor charges for replacement of parts, adjustment  
repairs, or any other work. This warranty does not apply to any equipment which, in the  
manufacturer’s opinion, has been subjected to misuse, negligence, or operation in excess of  
recommended limits, including freezing or which has been repaired or altered without the  
manufacturer’s express authorization. If the serial number has been defaced or removed from  
the component, the warranty on that component is void. Defective parts become the property  
of the warrantor and are to be returned.  
The manufacturer is not liable for any incidental, consequential, or special damages or  
expenses. The manufacturer’s obligation for parts not furnished as components of its  
manufactured equipment is limited to the warranty of the manufacturers of said parts.  
Any sales, use, excise, or other tax incident to the replacement of parts under this warranty is  
the responsibility of the purchaser.  
The manufacturer neither assumes nor authorizes any other persons to assume for it any  
liability in connection with the sale of its equipment not expressed in this warranty.  
Many types of the manufacturer’s equipment carry an additional one-year service policy.

Note:  
These pressure drop values are valid for single- and no-pump  
portable chillers.  
Calculating Chiller Nominal Flow and Pressure to Process  
Flow rate: Obtain the flow reading from the appropriate pump curve.  
Pressure: Obtain a corresponding pressure reading from the pump curve you selected,  
then subtract the one-pump pressure drop listed in the above table using the  
appropriate chiller hp and flow rate.  
For two-pump (Process/Recirc) chillers, do not subtract pressure drop from table above  
for process pump.

7-6 Typical Ductwork for Air-Cooled Chillers  
*See specification tables on pages 45-48 for air flow and pressure capacities.  
When locating your air-cooled portable chiller and designing its ductwork, note any potential high  
temperature conditions when discharging into your building and any negative pressures with the building  
when discharging air outside.  
Notes: Customer use of ductwork requires the high pressure fan option for models 5 through 15 hp. •  
Allow 30” (77 cm) minimum clearance around the chiller footprint to facilitate free passage of cooling air  
and service accessibility Size the ductwork for maximum capacity Support ductwork from the  
building structure, not off of the chiller Back draft damper to outside must be closed at all times when  
fan/blower is not operating Chillers with dual fans/blower must have a back draft damper on the cycling  
fan/blower to prevent recirculation of hot discharge air Chillers are designed to operate at a condensing  
entering air temperature of 60ºF (16ºC) minimum Maximum total static pressure drop external to the  
chiller must not exceed 0.30” WG (75 pa)
