Foreword
The portable chiller is a packaged unit typically
consisting of a refrigeration circuit and a coolant
reservoir and pumping system in a compact
packaged cabinet for easy location in industrial
applications where chilled water is required.
The intent of this manual is to serve as a guide for
placing your portable chiller in service and operating
and maintaining it properly. Improper installation
can lead to poor equipment performance or severe
equipment damage. Failure to follow the installation
instructions may result in damage not covered by
your warranty. It is extremely important that a
qualified refrigeration installation contractor perform
all installation line sizing and piping. Please supply
these instructions to your authorized refrigeration
contractor.
This manual is for our standard product line with
supplements as required to accommodate any
special items provided for a specific application. The
written information contained in this manual, as well
as various drawings, are intended to be general in
nature. Unit specific drawings are included with the
equipment for troubleshooting and servicing of the
unit. Additional copies of drawings are available
upon request. We strive to maintain an accurate
record of all equipment during the course of its
useful life.
Due to the ever-changing nature of applicable
codes, ordinances, and other local laws pertaining to
the use and operation of this equipment we do not
reference them in this manual. There is no substitute
for common sense and good operating practices
when placing any mechanical equipment into
operation. We encourage all personnel to familiarize
themselves with this manual's contents. Failure to do
so may unnecessarily prolong equipment down time.
The chilling equipment uses chemical refrigerants for
heat transfer purposes. This chemical is sealed and
tested in a pressurized system containing ASME
coded vessels; however, a system failure will release
it. Refrigerant gas can cause toxic fumes if exposed
to fire. Place these units in a well-ventilated area,
especially if open flames are present.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a
hazardous condition. The standard refrigerant used
in these units is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) trade
named R-410A. We strongly recommend a
refrigerant management program be implemented
which includes a survey of all equipment to
document the type and quantity of refrigerant in
each machine. In addition, we recommend only
licensed and EPA certified service technicians work
on our refrigeration circuits. Follow good piping
practices and the information in this manual to
ensure successful installation and operation of this
equipment. We are not responsible for liabilities
created by substandard piping methods and
installation practices external to the chiller.
We trust your equipment will have a long and useful
life. If you should have any questions, please contact
our Customer Service Department specifying the
serial number and model number of the unit as
indicated on the nameplate.
