2.1 GENERAL
A. Chillers are shipped skid mounted and wrapped in plastic prior to shipment. Check the
overall condition of the equipment prior to accepting delivery. Check for visible damage
and document any evident damage on the delivery receipt. Shipping damage is the
responsibility of the carrier.
B. Allprocesspipingmaterials(suchashose,rigidpiping,valvesorlters)usedinprocess
water piping circuitry must be rated for 100°F minimum temperature and 100 PSI
minimum pressure.
C. All such materials must have the equivalent or larger diameter of the particular process
connection that length of process water piping is connected to.
2.2 UNIT LOCATION
A. Foundation. The chiller must be installed on a rigid and level mounting surface with
adequate strength to support the operating weight of the chiller including the weight of
water and attached piping.
This unit will contain water or water/glycol when operating. Locate the chiller
where an unforeseen uid leak will not cause damage to the surroundings or
install the unit in such a way that an unforeseen uid leak will not damage its
surroundings.
B. For air-cooled and water-cooled models:
1. These units are designed for indoor use only.
2. Formostefcientoperation,locatethechillerinalevel,clean,dryandwell
ventilated environment.
C. For air-cooled models:
1. The unit has an air-cooled refrigerant condenser. For air- cooled condensers, a
motor driven fan (on models from 5 to 20 tons) or a centrifugal blower (standard
onmodelsfrom25to30tonsandoptionalonothermodels)generatesairow
through the condenser to remove heat from the refrigerant system. The air
cooledcondenserontheunitwilldischargeapproximately15,000BTU’sperhour
pertonofcoolingandtheairowrateisapproximately1,000cfm/nominalton.
2. The unit must have a minimum entering air temperature of 60°F and a maximum
enteringairtemperatureof95°Fforefcientoperation.
3. The unit must have a minimum of two feet clearance at the air intake and six
feet at the vertical exhaust air discharge and must have adequate ventilation to
dissipate the rejected heat. The unit must not be placed in non-ventilated areas.
4. The unit must have all enclosure panels in place before operating the
compressor. Air will not be drawn through the condenser coil if the panels are not
in place. Starting the unit without all the enclosure panels in place will result in a
high pressure refrigerant fault.
