All 19DV units are field charged. Charge the unit from re-
frigerant cylinders. Use Table 8 to find expected approximate
charge by adding cooler and condenser charge together. Refer
to unit nameplate and E-Cat output for certified values.
Prior to charging ensure the following:
a. Standing vacuum test completed
b. Only initiate refrigerant charging into a deep vacuum
c. Adequate refrigerant supply is available as per unit
nameplate.
With water pumps running, connect charging hose from re-
frigerant cylinder to chiller cooler charging valve. Start with
charging gas until the pressure is greater than the above satura-
tion pressure temperature to avoid refrigerant flashing and po-
tential tube freezing. Once required pressure is reached switch
over to charge liquid by either lifting refrigerant cylinder above
charging valve to allow for gravity feed or if charge isolated in
storage tank using pumpout equipment suited for low pressure
refrigerant.
After the machine has been started, adjust charge for opti-
mum machine performance. Operate the chiller at design load
and then add or remove refrigerant slowly until the difference
between the leaving chilled water temperature and the cooler re-
frigerant temperature reaches design conditions or becomes a
minimum. Do not overcharge.
Use the cooler sight glass (see Fig. 21) to determine the cor-
rect refrigerant at all times. During steady state operation at full
load, the boiling pool tubes under compressor suction should be
covered with liquid refrigerant. There is no benefit to a refriger-
ant liquid level higher than the tubes.
