differently than a brick wall at 20 feet. Sound pressure is measured in decibels (dB). All sound pressure
data in the following pages are considered typical of what can be measured in a free field with a
handheld sound meter, in the absence of any nearby reflective surfaces except the floor under the unit.
Sound pressure levels are measured at 100% load and standard conditions of 95°F (35°C) ambient air
temperature and 44°F (7°C) leaving evaporator water temperatures for air-cooled units.
Sound power is a calculated quantity and cannot be measured directly like sound pressure. Sound
power is not dependent on the surrounding environment or distance from the source, as is sound
pressure. It can be thought of as basic sound level emanating from the unit without consideration of
distance or obstructions. Measurements are taken over a prescribed area around the unit and the data is
mathematically calculated to give the sound power, dB. Acoustical consultants sometimes use sound
power octave band data to perform a detailed acoustical analysis.
1.6.1 Test Method of Noise
1.6.1.1 Definitions
Testing Surface: an imaginary surface with the area S. which envelopes the sound source and
whose test point is on the surface of an imaginary parallelepiped
Reference body: an imaginary minimal-sized parallelepiped which envelopes the sound source and
terminates at one or more reflective planes.
Testing Distance: the vertical distance between surfaces of the reference body
1.6.1.2 Selection of the Testing Surface:
In order to determine the location of the microphone on the testing surface, it is necessary to
assume a reference body, regardless of the important noise energy which emanates from the sound
source but does not radiate. The reference testing distance is 1m and should be 0.15m at least. Other
options include: 0.25m, 0.5m, 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 4m and 8m.
1.6.1.3 Testing Surface and Location of Microphones of the Parallelepiped
The testing surface is such an imaginary surface with the area S, enveloping sound source and
distance d with the reference body, of which each side is parallel to the corresponding side of the
reference body. See the figure below for the location of the microphones at the testing surface of the
parallelepiped.
S=4(ab+bc+ac),a=0.5L1+d,b=0.5L2+d,c=0.5L3+d
Where L1, L2 and L3 indicate the length, width and height of the reference body respectively.

Design and Selection
Notes:
(1) It is cited from Design and Troubleshooting for Heating and Cooling Air Conditioners.
(2) Take the lower limit when the total building area is less than 5000m 2 and take the upper limit
when the total building area is large than 10000 m2.
(3) The estimated load is directly indicates the required capacity of the air conditioners.
(4) Unless otherwise stated, the area always indicates the total building area no matter if air
conditioning is for local area or not.
Notes:The empirical value of this series is derived from markets in China.
1.2 Procedures
(1) Calculation of Indoor Load Demand
Indoor Load Demand (W) = Room Area(m2)×Load Per Unit(W/m2)
Note: the selection of the estimated cooling load depends on the actual conditions.
(2) Selection of the Terminal Unit
Select the proper terminal unit in accordance with requirements on load, noise and installation
space.
(3) Selection of the Main Unit
The main unit is selected on the premise of the service factor of the terminals: 0.7-0.8. Generally, 2-4
main units are required. Unless otherwise required, no backup main unit is required.
(4) Calculation of the Heating Load
Calculate the heating load following step (2) and (3). Then, if available, make the selection directly; if
unavailable, calculate the cooling load again until both cooling and heating loads are satisfactory.
1.3 Example
Background: there is an office building covering 12000m2 totally with 10500m2 to be air conditioned,
among which the big meeting rooms take up 500m2, the small meeting rooms take up 1500m2 and office
rooms take up 8500m2, and fresh air is required.
(1) Calculate the cooling load.
a) by the estimated cooling load
Big meeting rooms: 500×180 (W/m2)=90000W=120kW
Small meeting rooms: 150×240 (W/m2) =360000W=360kW
Offices: 8600×150 (W/m2)=1290000W=1290kW
Total: 120kW+360kW+1290kW =1770kW
Capacity required for the air conditioner: 1770kW ×0.70=1239kW
b) by the builiing area
12000×98W=1176kW
c) 1239kW is conclude in accordance with the calculation values in a and b.
(2) Calculate the heating load in accordance with the heating load of the air conditioning unit.
12000×70=840000W=840kW
(3) Preselect the desired model and quantity
Look up the GREE Technical Guide Manual and it is concluded that 8 LSQWRF160M/D-M and 1
LSQWRF130M/D-M meet the design requirement (cooling load: 1283, heating load: 1460).

b) The label indicates the name and direction of the fluid.
c) The label is eye-catching and struck reliably.
3.5.2.9 Cleaning of Pipes
After the pressure test, the system should be rinsed one section by another with the maximum
allowed flow or the flow no less than 2m/s until leaving water is as clean and transparent as entering
water. For the heat pump system, it can be put into normal use until it has been rinsed (leaving water is
as clean and transparent as entering water.) and has taken a trial run for about 2 hours.
(1) The field-supplied water tank should take the leakage test and then take derusting, seam
sanding, and anti-corrosive treatment
For the water tank used below 30℃, it should be painted with red lead rust-proof paint twice; for the
water tank used at 30~70℃, it should be painted with vinyl chloride 4-5 times; for the water tank used at
0~95℃, it should be painted with heat-proof anti-decaying paint 4-5 times. After such treatments, no
direct welding is allowed.
(2) The water tank should be installed horizontally. Its main body can be placed at the bar support
which should extend out of the baseplate at least 1000mm. The height of the bar support can’t
be less than 300mm.
(3) When water pipes are installed where heating is unavailable, the water tank, expansion pipes,
circulating pipes and signal pipes should be thermally insulated.
(4) The installation height of the expansion water tank should be in the way that the lowest level of
the water tank is at least 1m above the highest point of the water system.
(5) For the mechanical circulating air-to-water system, in order to keep the expansion water tank
and water system run normally, the expansion pipes of the expansion water tank should
connect to the suction inlet of the circulating water pump. For the gravity circulating system, the
expansion pipes should connect to the top of the main supply water riser pipe.
(6) For the two-pipe air-to-water system, the effective volume of the expansion water tank should
be determined in accordance with the heating conditions.
(7) When the water tank is or higher than 1500mm, it should have ladders both inside and outside
of the water tank. When the water tank is or higher than 1800mm, it should have two glass
gauges to indicate the water level.
(8) The circulating pipe should connect to the main return pipe. The connection point should keep a
horizontal distance of no less than 1500~3000mm with the constant pressure point.

Note: ―○‖ in the table above indicates the cause for corrosion and scalelike sediment.
Even though water quality is under strict control, calcium oxide or other minerals will gradually
accumulate on the surface of the evaporator. Then, it will reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the
evaporator and consequently lead to poor performance of the unit.
Therefore, the pipe system should be cleaned periodically. Oxalic acid, acetic acid and formic acid
can be used as the organic cleaning agent, but the strong chloracid is not allowed as it will corrode the
copper tube of the heat exchanger and then lead to water and refrigerant leakage.
Follow the procedures below to how to clean the water system.
1) Preparation of Materials and Tools
Several bags of environmental friendly scale remover, or similar cleaning liquid
2) Cleaning Instructions
i. estimate the required amount of scale remover in accordance with the system water volume and
severity of scaling.
ii. add the scale remover to the water tank and the scale remover.
iii. start through the contactor the water pump every 10 minutes and spread the scale remover in
water more quickly and widely.
iv. after that, follow the steps below.
a) let the water pump run for another 1-2 hours.
b) 1-2 hours later, change the cleaning solution to anti-rusting agent. Then, drain the water system
and check the water quality. If water is cloudy, then it indicates the cleaning effect is
satisfactory.
c) open the water inlet to see if scale on the shell and tube has been removed. If not, clean the
shell and tube separately again by the skilled serviceman and then rinse them. If there is still
sand, scale and other foreign matters at the bottom of the shell and tube, let cleaning solution in
from the inlet pipe and then let the foul water out through the drain outlet.
d) fully charge the water system and let it run for another 1-2 hours.
e) stop the unit to drain up waste solution. If impossible, drain it with making up water at the same
94
Test Operation & Troubleshooting & Maintenance
time until all waster solution has been drained out completely (at this time water is transparent
and PH is 7).
f) repeat steps d and e.
g) clean or change the filters in the water system.
h) see if the difference between the entering and leaving water temperature is improved.
3) Precautions
a) Be sure that the power supply is cut off when cleaning the shell and tube.
b) although the cleaning agent is innocuous, but care also should be taken not to let it spill into
eyes.
c) the serviceman with injuries on the hand is not allowed to take this task.
(2)Inspection and Cleaning of the Finned Heat Exchanger
In order to keep fins work efficiently, be sure there are no leaves, cotton wool, insects, and other
contaminants on the outer layer of fins, or they would lead to more energy consumption and high
discharge pressure. Generally, fins should be cleaned after the unit has run for 6-12 month, or more
frequently when the environment is polluted more severely.
1) Cut off the power supply.
2) Clean with high-pressure air fins against the direction of the inlet air, or clean with high-pressure
water fins at the direction upright with that of the fins but care must be taken to control the water
pressure to prevent the fins from being pulled down and protect each electric element. If fins
stick with oily matters, clean fins with neutral detergent solution.

(2) Draw out the blind plug counter clockwise to let the chilled water flow out freely until no water
stays in. After that, place the blind plug back. (Note: put the container for foul water beneath the
drain pipe to prevent foul water from polluting the site).
Note: always keep the drain outlet and the exhaust valve open in order to drain the water system
completely.

Note: after the compressor is replaced, most amount of oil will still remain in the system, which will
not affect the reliability of the newly installed compressor but will increase the running resistance to the
rotor and increase electricity consumption. Therefore, a valve should be installed at the lower part of the
inlet of the suction line to discharge excessive oil. After installing the valve, start the compressor for ten
minutes and then open this valve until all oil flows out completely. Do it twice to guarantee the oil keeps
at the normal level.

4. Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance shall be performed by the skilled and qualified servicemen.
(1) Refrigerant Leakage
Suds is usually used for the leakage test by applying it at the spot (soldering spots, valve pistols,
connectors) where leakage is probably to occur. During the test, if soap bubbles pop up, it indicates
leakage exists and repair is required. If suds fails to work, a electronic leakage detectors is a alternative.
Refrigerant charge can be checked by measuring the suction and discharge pressure. Leakage test
should be performed wherever leakage occurs or some components of the refrigeration system are
replaced.
There are two difference conditions for charging refrigeration stated as below.
(1) Complete charging
In this case, take a leakage test by charging hi-pressure nitrogen (15~20kg) or refrigerant into the
system. If soldering is required, note that gas inside the system must be expelled firstly. The whole
system must be dried and vacuumed prior to charging.
a) Connect the manifold gage.
b) Vacuum the system with a vacuum pump.
Step 1: Expel the hi-pressure nitrogen for leakage test.
Step 2: Connect the pipeline at both the high and low pressure sides of the manifold gage as shown
in the figure below. Note that vacuuming shall be taken at both sides. The degree of vacuum will refer to
the reading of the manometer at the low side.
Step 3: Open the valves at both the high-pressure and low-pressure sides and then start the
vacuum pump until the gage reading is below -1bar. After that, let the vacuum pump lasts for another
0.5~1.0 hour.
Step 4: Close the valves and stop the vacuum pump. Note that only the valves have been closed
can the vacuum pump be stopped, otherwise air is possible to go into the system again.
Step 5: Take the leakage test. Be sure the vacuumed system keeps a pressure no higher than 80Pa
and keeps little pressure rise in half an hour.
c) c. Refrigerant charging starts after the degree of vacuum reaches the expected range and lasts
for 30 minutes. The amount of refrigerant charge shall comply with that specified on the
nameplate or product data sheet.

(2) Adding
Refrigerant charge is determined through stringent tests, as excess or shortage of refrigerant would
cause the compressor to run improperly. Thus, the refrigerant charge shall be consistent with that
specified on the nameplate. If refrigerant charge is indeed insufficient, follow the steps below for adding.
Step 1: Weigh the refrigerant tank with an electronic scale and connect the refrigerant tank with the
pressure gage through the pipeline.
Step 2: Expel the air inside the pipeline. Firstly half open the shutoff valve of the refrigerant tank and
then loosen the connector connecting the pressure gage to expel the air until the connector hisses for
five seconds and then tighten the connector.
Step 3: Return the electric scale to zero by energizing it again.
Step 4: Open all valves between the refrigerant tank and the unit to charge refrigerant as per the
amount specified on the nameplate. Excessive refrigerant would dilute oil while insufficient refrigerant
would lower the refrigeration capability and result in poor lubrication and high discharge temperature etc.
Note that only refrigerant vapor can be charged into the system at the low-pressure side when the unit is
in operation. However, it is highly recommended to charge refrigerant at the hi-pressure side when the
unit is shut down, otherwise it would cause slugging during startup.
(2) Air Purge
Prior to refrigerant charging, it is imperative to expel air inside the system and the system must be
vacuumed.
a) Connect the manifold gage
b) Vacuum the system with a vacuum pump.
c) harge refrigerant at the low-pressure side as per the amount specified on the nameplate or
product data sheet when the degree of vacuum approaches the expected range.
d) The refrigerant charge will be affected by the ambient temperature. When the charge is under
the required amount, it is allowed to add refrigerant vapor after starting the water pump and the
unit.
