WATER QUALITY
Water used in the chilled water,
cooling water, and heat medium circuits
may cause scaling and/or corrosion if not
correctly maintained within specific limits.
In some areas, the water supply may
contain minerals that cause scaling or
may be extremely soft and corrosive.
Where these conditions exist, a water
treatment company should be consulted.
If the absorption chiller is damaged as a
result of scaling, corrosion, or erosion
caused by poor water quality control, the
equipment warranty may be void. Water
quality should not exceed the following
limits:
Conductivity (S/cm at 77°F)
Total hardness (CaCO
3
ppm)
Calcium hardness (CaCO
3
ppm)
Residual chlorine (Cl ppm)
Free carbon dioxide (CO
2
ppm)
NOTES:
1. ND (Not Detectable)
2. *Maximum total hardness of make-up water shall not exceed 70 ppm when bleed off is the only method used to control water
quality.

INSTALLATION CHECK & REQUEST FOR STARTUP
After the absorption chiller has been
installed, piped, and wired as described
in these instructions, but before any
attempt is made to start the unit, the
Yazaki Authorized Service Provider
should be advised so that the startup can
be scheduled. Complete the REQUEST
FOR STARTUP form and send it to the
ASP or to Yazaki Energy Systems, Inc.,
at least 3 weeks prior to the required
startup date.
The contractor is expected to provide
personnel to assist the ASP with final
adjustments to the system controls and
fluid flow rates as may be necessary.
