1.4.6 Freeze Protection


When the flow passage of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is frozen up, it would cause serious
damage to the heat exchanger, such as cracking and leakage which are out of warranty, therefore, the
user should take measures stated below for freeze protection.
 Under subzero conditions, it is necessary to shut down the chiller installed outdoor and then
drain the evaporator completely.
 Failure of the chilled water flow switch and the anti-freezing temperature sensor will cause the
tube frozen up, so the flow switch shall be interlocked with the chiller.
 When discharging or recovering the refrigerant, the evaporator would crack because of frost
bite provided the refrigerant pressure inside the evaporator is under 0.7MPa. Therefore, be sure
to keep the water flow continually inside the evaporator or drain it completely.

1.5 Working Principles


1.5.1 Schematic Diagram
Each circuit of the modular chiller is independent and identical. Therefore the schematic diagram of
only a circuit is taken for example herein.

Engineering Data

1.5.2 Schematic Diagram


 Refrigeration Cycle: The low-pressure superheated refrigerant vapor from the evaporator is drawn
into the compressor through which the low-pressure vapor is compressed to hi-temperature and
hi-pressure refrigerant vapor. Then, the refrigerant vapor passes the condenser and turns to
saturated or sub- cooled refrigerant liquid. And then, it passes the throttling device and flows into the
evaporator where it evaporates by absorbing heat from the second refrigerant and then is drawn
into the compressor again. The second refrigerant is then transferred to where air cooling is
required continuously.
 Reverse Refrigeration Cycle: During the reverse refrigeration cycle, a 4-way valve is used to
make the refrigerant flow in a reverse direction as stated below. The hi-temperature and hi-pressure
refrigerant vapor coming out from the compressor directly releases heat to the secondary refrigerant
and turns to the refrigeration liquid. Then, the refrigerant vapor passes the throttling device and
flows into the air-cooled exchanger where it evaporates by absorbing heat from the surrounding
environment and then is drawn into the compressor again. The second refrigerant which has
approached the temperature set point is then transferred to where air heating is required
continuously.

1.6 Noise Correction


Sound levels can be as important as unit cost and efficiency. The inherently quiet scroll
compressors used in D series modular air-cooled scroll chillers are coupled with precision engineering
for industry-leading sound levels.
The sound data is presented with both sound pressure and sound power levels. These values have
been measured and/or calculated in accordance with JB/T 4330 Standard.
Sound pressure is the sound level that can be measured at some distance from the source. Sound
pressure varies with distance from the source and depends on the surroundings. For example, a brick
wall (a reflective surface) located 10 feet away from a unit will affect the sound pressure measurements

8
Engineering Data

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.

Engineering Data

a: if > 10dB, the corrected value is not needed.


b: if 3< <10dB, calculate the corrected value with the above equation.
c: 0< <3dB, take the maximum corrected value 3dB.
Note: the above principles don’t apply when <3dB, as the precision would be dropped down.
The allowable maximum correction value is 3dB. In this case, it should also be described in the test
report, saying ―no back ground noise is applicable to the requirement of this standard‖.
1.6.2.4 Correction of the Test Environment
The correction factor K2A which reflects effects from room boundaries (wall, ceiling, floor) or
reflecting objects around the sound source is the radio of the testing surface area to the sound
absorption area of the test room, and has little relation with the location of the sound source in the test
room.

Where:
A: equivalent sound absorption area of the 1KHz test room, m . 2

S: testing surface area, m . 2

A=a.SV
Where:
a—average A-weighted sound absoprtion coefficient
SV—total area of the test room boundaries (wall, ceiling ,floor), m 2

Approximate Values of the Average Sound Absorption Coefficient a

0.25
ceiling or walls.

0.35 There is sound-absorbing material in the ceilng and walls.

0.5 There is plenty of sound-absorbing material in the ceiling and walls.

Qualification Requirements on the Test Room.


When the testing surface area of the test room meets the test requirements, the ratio of the sound
absorption area to the testing surface area will be or larger than 1, that is, A/S≥1, the larger the ratio is,
the better. When it does not, another testing surface should be selected. The new testing surface area is
small but it still should be located out of the approximate field, or the test method herein will fail to meet
the required precision.
1.6.3 Effects on Noise Caused by Distance
The distance between a source of sound and the location of the sound measurement plays an
important role in minimizing sound problems. The equation below can be used to calculate the sound

Engineering Data

pressure level at any distance if the sound power is known.


Another way of determining the effect of distance is to work from sound pressure only. "Q", the
directionality factor, is a dimensionless number that compensates for the type of sound reflection from
the source. For example, a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with no other reflective surfaces or
attenuation due to grass,
snow, etc. ,between source and receiver: Q=2. Sound pressure can be calculated at any distance
from the unit if the sound power is known, using the equation:
LP= Lw -20Logr+10LogQ-11
Where:
LP=sound pressure
LW=sound power
r=distance from unit in meter
Q=directionality factor
With Q=1, Unit suspended in space (theoretical condition), the equation is simplified to:
LP=LW-20logr-1
With Q=2, for a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with no adjacent vertical wall as a reflective
surface, the equation is simplified to:
LP=LW-20logr-8
With Q=4 for a unit sitting on a flat roof or ground with one adjacent vertical wall as a reflective
surface, the equation is simplified to:
LP=LW-20logr-5

Uniform Radiation over of

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).

multi-wire copper cable (like, JYV copper cable, consisting of PV insulated wires and a PVC
cable jacket) used at 40℃ and resistible to 90℃ (see IEC60364-5-523:1999). If the working
condition changes, they should be modified according to the related national standard.
d) The specifications of the air switch listed in the table above are applied to the air switch with the
working temperature at 40℃. If the working condition changes, they should be modified
according to the related national standard.

Unit Control

1. General Control Logic

1.1 Schematic Diagram

(1) Water Flow Cutout: it is used to judge the water flow rate: when the flow rate is too low, it will trip
off, and the control board will send this signal to the display and the water pump. Then, the
display will tell there is an error, the water pump will stop and the unit will stop or will not start.
(2) High/Low Pressure Cutout: it is used to judge the system pressure: when the system pressure is

2. Control Logic

2.1 Cooling Control


2.1.1 Control to the Compressor
(1) ―First On, First Off‖
―First On, First Off‖/―First Off, First On‖ control indicates the numbered compressor which is
started/stopped firstly will then be stopped/started firstly.
(2) Temperature Drop/Rise Rate Control
The water temperature range control assisted by the temperature drop/rise rate control is capable of
precisely adapting the load change of the terminal units and avoiding remarkable water temperature
fluctuation.
2.1.2 Freeze Protection
For each single module, when the anti-freezing temperature or the leaving water temperature is
lower than the limit value, freeze protection will work and this module stops; when the anti-freezing
temperature and the leaving water temperature go higher than the normal value, freeze protection will
quit; when the anti-freezing temperature and the leaving water temperature are between the limit value
and the normal value, the module is protected again freeze.
2.1.3 Shutdown
Shutdown manually or timely: in this case, the compressor and the auxiliary electric heater stop
firstly, then the electronic expansion valve initializes, and then the 4-way valve is de-energized, and
lastly the water pump stops.
Shutdown when reaching the set point: in this case, the compressor stops firstly, and then the fan
stops and the electronic expansion valve initializes. However, the 4-way valve keeps its state unchanged
and the water pump keeps running.
Shutdown due to errors: in this case, the compressor stops firstly, and then the fan stops (except
that the fan is malfunctioning), and the electronic expansion valve initializes. However, the 4-way valve
keeps its state unchanged and the water pump keeps running.

2.2 Heating Control


2.2.1 Control on the Compressor
It is the same as that in selection 2.1.1.
2.2.2 Over-temperature Protection
For each single module, when the over-temperature is higher than the limit value, over-temperature
protection will work; when the over-temperature goes lower than the normal value, over-temperature
protection will quit; when the over-temperature is between the limit value and the normal value, the
module is still protected again over-temperature.
2.2.3 Control on the Auxiliary Electric Heater
When the auxiliary electric heater is enabled through the wired controller, it will work in accordance
with the change of the entering water temperature.
When the flow switch and the entering water temperature sensors work normally, any other error
can be ignored.

34
Unit Control

When the auxiliary electric heater is disabled through the wired controller, the auxiliary electric
heater will stop working.
When all entering water temperature sensors malfunction, the auxiliary electric heater will stop
working.
When any flow switch malfunctions, the auxiliary electric heater will stop working.
When the unit is under over-temperature protection but the auxiliary electric heater is not allowed to
stop, the auxiliary electric heater will keep working until the entering water temperature reaches the set
point.

2.3 Freeze Protection


Under the OFF state at any mode (except the manual defrosting mode), when the freeze protection
is activated through the wired controller, the unit will be protected again freeze. Free protection is factory
defaulted to be ON.
When the module is in the freeze protection, its compressor will work as per the on/off setting and
also the principle of ―Six-minute On, Thee-minute Off‖.

2.4 Control to the Compressor


All compressors run as per the principle of ―First On, First Off‖ and ―First Off, First On‖. See section
2.1 and section 2.2.

2.5 Control to the Fan


The fan starts earlier than the compressor upon startup, and stops later than the compressor upon
shutdown. During defrosting, the fan and the 4-way valve stops. After defrosting they start again.

2.6 Control the 4-way Valve


The 4-way valve is stopped at the cooling mode. At the heating mode, it will start after the
compressor runs. During defrosting it stops and then starts again after defrosting. It will stop later than
the compressor upon shutdown.

2.7 Control to the Water Pump


When any module is required to run (incl. manual startup, timely startup, startup again freeze),
water pumps of all module starts. Then, when one module reaches the set point and is shut down, water
pumps of all modules keep running; when one module is shut down manually or timely, its water pump
keeps running and will stop only after all modules are shut down; when one module malfunctions and is
shutdown, its water pump keeps running.

2.8 Control to the Electronic Expansion Valve


The electronic expansion valve initialize when the wired controller is emerged for the first time. After
the compressor has been started, the electronic expansion valve starts to adjust its opening angle.

When it is detected the low-pressure switch of compressor 1 (compressor 2) is opened compressor
1 (compressor 2) will be shut down immediately.
Meanwhile the indicating LED will light on and the error information will be displayed among the
error log which must be manually cleared for normal operation of next time.
(2) Compressor 1/2 high discharge protection
When it is detected in three consecutive seconds that the discharge temperature of compressor 1
(compressor 2) exceeds the set point, compressor 1 (compressor 2) will be shut down immediately but
the fan will still run for some time.
Meanwhile the indicating LED will light on and the error information will be displayed among the
error log which must be manually cleared for normal operation of next time.
2.9.2 Irrecoverable Protection
(1) Compressor 1/2 high pressure or over-current protection
When it is detected that the high pressure switch of compressor 1 (or compressor 2) is open,
compressor 1 (or compressor 2) will be shut down but the fan will still last for some time.
Meanwhile the indicating LED will light on and the error information will be displayed among the
error log which must be manually cleared for normal operation of next time.
(2) Fan 1/2 over-current protection
When any fan is over-current, this module unit will be shut down automatically. Meanwhile, the error
information will be displayed among the error log which must be manually cleared for normal operation
of next time.
(3) Flow switch protection
When a single module unit detect that the flow switch is closed (under normal condition, it keeps
open), it will be shut down automatically.
When all modules are shut down because of flow switch protection, the water pump will stop.
(4) Communication protection
When a single module unit fails to receive any signal from the wired controller, it will be shut down
automatically and then the water pump will stop.
(5) Phase loss/reversal protection
When phase loss/reversal occurs, the power supply to the main board will be cut off.

valves, but open the manifold valve and each valve at the branch pipes. During the pressure
test, it can’t be put into normal use. Special attention should be paid that the exhaust valve
should be opened until air inside the system is removed completely.
(3) For the heat pump system, when the working pressure is or less than 1.0MPa, the test pressure
should be 1.5 times of the working pressure but no less than 0.6MPa; when the working
pressure is larger than 1.0MPa, the test pressure is the working pressure plus 0.5MPa.

(4) Raise the pressure to the test pressure and the test pressure should be kept for 10 minutes.
Then, lower the pressure to the working pressure and the working pressure should be kept for
60 minutes. No leakage through the visual inspection indicates it is satisfactory.
(5) The filling water test is taken for the condensate water system. No leakage through the visual
inspection indicates it is satisfactory.
3.5.2.8 Anti-corrosion and Insulating
(1) Anti-corrosion: supply water and return water pipes, branch pipes, and pipe brackets should be

for each floor; when the floor height is larger than 5m, there should be at least two bracket trays
200mm ahead of the riser pipes. The diameter of the bracket tray can’t be larger than the
thickness of the insulation. Expansion seams should be left for the insulation of the brackets. A
5mm expansion seam should be left every 5-7m on the branch pipes. Also 30mm seams should
be left for elbows. Clearance between the insulation and the pipe sleeve should be stuffed with
non-inflammable material.

(4) Pipes should be labeled with legible fonts and the direction of the fluid. The paint color should
be selected properly. Once color circles are used, their intervals should be even. Labels listed
in parallel should be arranged reasonably.
67
Unit Installation

a) The typeface on the label matches with the diameter of the pipes.
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.

3.5.2.10 Protection for the Finished Product


(1) Prefabricating, anti-corrosion treatment, setup, and pressure test procedures go closely one by
once. If interrupted, the open mouth of pipes should be closed to prevent foreign matter
entering.
(2) Installed pipes can’t be taken as the lifting center, and also can’t be stepped on.
(3) Pipe repair should be finished prior to external decoration and do not damage any wall and floor
68

finished product after external decoration.


(4) During external decoration, installed pipes, valves, gauges etc. should be guarded by
appointed personnel to prevent them from being damaged in other construction procedure.

3.6 Installation of the Expansion Tank


An expansion water tank should be installed for the closed-circuit water system to buffer water
expansion and constriction as well as avoid effects on the water pipes caused by makeup water.

(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.

1. Commissioning

1.1 Check for Communication


Check if the displayed number of modules is the same as the real number. If so, it indicates
communication goes normal. If not, take the following inspections.
(1) Are all connected modules powered on?
(2) Does each module have a unique address?
(3) Is there any module which has not been detected by the
control?
(4) Is the communication line of the mainboard connected
correctly or is the communication line itself non-defective?

1.2 Check for a Single Unit


(1) Commission one module first and stop all others.
(2) Do its compressor, fans and the 4-way valve run normally without any unusual noise?
(3) Is the voltage phase difference lower than ±2%?
(4) Voltage phase difference =(Phase difference between the max and average voltage)/(Average
voltage)×100%.
(5) Start up this module.
(6) Do its compressor, fans and the 4-way valve run
normally without any unusual noise?
(7) Check other modules one by one in the same way.

1.3 Check for the Water Flow of a Single Module


In order to prevent the water temperature changing too quickly, it is suggested to open all terminal
units in commissioning, and observe and record the pressure drop of the manometers at the outlet and
inlet pipes. Also, adjust the flow control valves or shut-off valves to make the flow meet application
requirements.
When the environmental temperature is available, let the module perform cooling (>15℃) or
perform heating (<24℃). When the module has run stably for 10 minutes, the normal difference of the
entering and leaving water should be 4-6℃.
(1) If the temperature difference is larger than 4-6℃, raise it by reducing the water flow of other
modules.
(2) If the temperature difference is smaller than 4-6℃, ignore it in the event that the difference of
other modules is suitable, and reduce the water flow of this module in the event that the
difference of other modules is also unsuitable.
(3) Check for the water flow of other modules one by one in the same way.

85
Test Operation & Troubleshooting & Maintenance

1.4 Check for Operation of the Whole Unit


(1) Check the difference of the entering and leaving water temperature of each module when the
whole unit has been in operation. If temperature adjustment fails, reconsider the capacity of the
selected water pump.
(2) Start up the whole unit under the full load. When the whole unit has run stably for one hour,
check if the water temperature and the air conditioning effect meet the user’s requirements.
(3) Observe and record the entering and leaving water temperature, condensing and evaporating
pressure. Then, stop the unit and check the set point of each parameter on the control panel.
After that, complete the commissioning date sheet.
(4) When the unit goes into the protection state, figure out causes as well as solutions.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Significant of Maintenance


The unit has undergone a series of strict tests prior to delivery to ensure qualified performance,
however, in order to keep reliable performance and extend its service life, the unit should be maintained
routinely and periodically by the qualified servicemen.

3.2 Maintenance Items


3.2.1 Routine Maintenance Items
Routine Maintenance Items
Is there any unusual noise and vibration?
Is there any unusual noise and vibration for the compressor in operation? Is there any unusual smell?
Do the operating pressure, voltage and current keep normal? If not, figure out the cause and then eliminate it?
Are all temperature sensors and pressure transducers installed securely?

3.2.2 Periodic Maintenance Items


Periodic Maintenance Items
Is any wiring loosened and insulated securely?
Does any electric element work reliably? If not, change it timely.
Does any throttling valve and control valve leaks? Can any valve be opened or closed flexibly? Is any filter clogged?
Is the temperature set point proper?
Is there a large amount of condensate at the chilled water pipe or the condensate pipe? Is insulation layer damaged?

3.2.3 Periodic Cleaning


(1) Requirements on Water Quality and Cleaning
Industrial water used as chilled water produces little scale, but well or river water will bring much
scale, sand and other sediment which then would block up the chilled water flow and make the
evaporator frozen up. Therefore, it is necessary to filter or chemically soften water before it flows into the
water system and also take analysis to quality. Once it is found water quality is dissatisfactory, and then
only industrial water is available.

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.

Drawing for the Cleaning Direction of the Finned Heat Exchanger


3) The vacuum cleaner and nylon brush also can be used to remove dust and foreign matters on
the surface of the heat exchanger.

3.3 Freeze Protection in Winter


When the unit is not going to be used for a long time, clean and dry the internal and external
surfaces of the unit, and then it would be better to wrap it. Under the subzero climate, the unused unit
should be drained completely so that the shell-and-tube evaporator would not be frozen up. Instead, the
other way is adding some antifreeze into water to keep the water temperature no less than 0℃.

95
Test Operation & Troubleshooting & Maintenance

See the following steps for how to drain water out.


(1) loosen screws on the front panel and then remove the front panel.

(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

(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.
