Start-Up

Preliminary Checks

Check valves, electrical connections, voltage, leaks, and crankcase heating before starting.

Starting Operations

Procedure for unit start-up, compressor start conditions, and post-start checks.

Checks During Operation

Verify phase sequence, water temperature, and refrigerant levels for proper functioning.

Checking the Refrigerant Level

Monitor liquid level, condensation/evaporation temps, overheating, and subcooling for correct charge.

Expansion Valve

Describes the electronically controlled expansion valve and its role in efficiency and response.

Stopping the Unit

Methods for stopping the unit, emphasizing correct shutdown and avoiding main switch use.

Setting Operating Parameters

Information on calibration, commissioning, and setting of control and safety devices.

Setting Operating Parameters

Maximum Pressure Switch

Manually reset switch that stops the compressor when discharge pressure exceeds set value.

Minimum Pressure Switch

Stops compressor when intake pressure falls below set value for over 60 seconds.

Service Thermostat

Starts and stops compressors based on evaporator inlet water temperature demand.

Antifreeze Thermostat

Detects low evaporator outlet temperatures and stops the unit to prevent freezing.

Anti-Recycle Timer

Prevents frequent compressor starts/stops by setting a minimum time between starts.

Oil Differential Pressure Switch

Notes that this switch is not provided due to the type of compressors used.

Routine Maintenance and Checks

Warnings

Safety precautions for installation and operation, including high temperatures and sharp fins.
