16 Centrifugal Chillers IM 1044-2
Condenser
With positive pressure systems, the pressure variance with temperature is always predictable, and the vessel
design and relief protection are based upon pure refrigerant characteristics. R-134a requires ASME vessel design,
inspection and testing and uses spring-loaded pressure relief valves. When an over pressure condition occurs,
spring-loaded relief valves purge only that refrigerant required to reduce system pressure to their set pressure, and
then close.
Refrigerant side design pressure is 200 psi (1380 kPa) on WSC/WCC/HSC units and 225 psi (1552 kPa) on WDC
units. Water side design is 150 psi (1034 kPa) on all.
Pumpdown
To facilitate compressor service, all Daikin centrifugal chillers are designed to permit pumpdown and
isolation of the entire refrigerant charge in the unit’s condenser. Dual compressor units and single compressor
units equipped with the optional suction shutoff valve can also be pumped down into the evaporator.
