Features/Benefits (cont)
AquaSnap chillers make noise in the marketplace, not the workplace.
The AquaSnap chillers AeroAcoustic fan is almost twice as quiet as the competitions per cfm, which makes AquaSnap chillers ideal for soundsensitive environments. When lower ambient temperatures allow part-load operation or during scheduled nighttime operation, the units operate with fewer fans and become even quieter. AquaSnap chillers are quiet during the day and even quieter at night. The fan is mounted to an extremely rigid tower, which further reduces vibrations and noise by preventing them from being amplified through the units casing.
protection, temperature and pressure displays and diagnostic functions. These controls result in higher chiller reliability, simplified training and more productive service calls with correspondingly lower operational and maintenance costs. Carriers exclusive handheld Navigator display provides convenience and powerful information in the palm of your hand. The Navigator display helps technicians to quickly diagnose problems and even prevent them from occurring. All AquaSnap units are ready to be used with the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) system.
AquaSnap units minimize the impact on your roofline, as well as your bottom line
The AquaSnap chillers low profile all models are just 4'-4" (1321 mm) high means it will not stand out if installed on the roof. The other dimensions are equally compact. The integrated hydronics and the chilled fluid storage tanks placement under the chiller further minimize the footprint, allowing easy installation almost anywhere.

4. Add pressure drops found in Steps 1-3. This is the total pressure drop and total head required by the pump. 5. Use the pump envelope charts (page 25) to determine proper pump sizing. Plot water flow rate (Step 1) and total head (Step 4), point on the chart. The region containing the point corresponds to the correct pump. NOTE: Although pump bhp increases with glycol concentration, pumps and pump overloads are selected such that glycol concentrations up to 50% will not trip pump overloads if run within the recommended gpm ranges. Example: Required water flow rate for a 30RA018 chiller is 45 gpm. The pressure drop in feet for the water system external to the chiller is 50 feet. The system does not have an accessory storage tank. The single pump is needed. Select the pump. Since the flow rate and external head losses (Step 1) are known, the internal losses in the hydronic package must be found (Step 2). Using the pressure drop graphs (page 22) for the 30RA018 units, the internal loss at 45 gpm is 15 feet. Since no accessory storage tank is being used (Step 3), the pressure drop is 0 feet. Add all losses together (Step 4). The total pressure rise needed by the pump is 50 + 15 + 0 = 65 feet. The pump selection becomes pump C.

NOTE: Refer to Position 9 in the units model number for pump identification.
If the top of the piping system (the highest point in the hydronic piping) is more than 80 ft above the chiller, then the expansion tank will require additional air pressure charge. The expansion tank must be pressurized to provide at least 4 psi (28 kPa) of positive pressure at the highest point in the hydronic piping system. This will also ensure no air is drawn into the piping. The amount of charge pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) that is required in the expansion tank is equal to 4 psi (28 kPa) plus the height (in feet) from the chiller to the highest point in the hydronic system divided by 2.31. Example: The 30RA AquaSnap elevation is 10 feet. The hydronic system is piped to an air handler on the roof with an elevation of 100 feet. The total pressure required in the expansion tank is: 4 psi + (100 ft 10 ft)/2.31 = 42.96 psi The expansion tank will require an additional 3 psi pressure.

Controls
Microprocessor The ComfortLink microprocessor controls overall unit operation. Its central executive routine controls a number of processes simultaneously. These include internal timers, reading inputs, analog to digital conversions, fan control, display control, diagnostic control, output relay control, demand limit, capacity control, head pressure control, and temperature reset. Some processes are updated almost continuously, others every 2 to 3 seconds, and some every 30 seconds. The microprocessor routine is started by switching the Emergency ON-OFF switch to ON position. Pump control of external pumps (where so configured) or optional internal pump, will energize the cooler pump to the internal (or CCN) time schedule (or input occupied signal from external system). Where dual pumps are utilized, control will also stagger start of pumps based on last started. When the unit receives a call for cooling (based on a deviation from chilled water set point), the unit stages up in capacity to maintain the cooler fluid set point. The first compressor starts 1 to 3 minutes after the call for cooling. The ComfortLink microprocessor controls the capacity of the chiller by cycling compressors at a rate to satisfy actual dynamic load conditions. The control maintains leaving-fluid temperature set point shown on the scrolling marquee display board through intelligent cycling of compressors. Accuracy depends on loop volume, loop flow rate, load, outdoor-air temperature, number of stages, and particular stage being cycled off. No adjustment for cooling range or cooler flow rate is required, because the control automatically compensates for cooling range by measuring both return-fluid temperature and leaving-fluid temperature. This is referred to as leaving-fluid temperature control with return-fluid temperature compensation. The basic logic for determining when to add or remove a stage is a time band integration of deviation from set point plus rate of change of leaving-fluid temperature. When leaving-fluid temperature is close to set point and slowly moving closer, logic prevents addition of another stage. If leaving-fluid temperature is less than 34 F (1.1 C) for water, or 6 F (3.3 C) below the set point for brine units, the unit is shut off until the fluid temperature goes to 34 F (1.1 C) or to 6 F (3.3 C) above the set point to protect against freezing. If 1 F per minute (0.6 C per minute) pulldown control has been selected (adjustable setting), no additional steps of capacity are added as long as difference between leavingfluid temperature and set point is greater than 4 F (2.2 C) and rate of change in leaving-fluid temperature is less than 1 F per minute (0.6 C per minute). If it has been less than 90 seconds since the last capacity change, compressors will continue to run unless a safety device trips. This prevents rapid cycling and also helps return oil during short on periods. Sensors Three thermistors are used for temperaturesensing inputs to microprocessor. Additional thermistor sensors may be used as remote temperature sensors for optional LCWT reset. Cooler leaving chilled fluid temperature (T1) Cooler entering fluid (return) temperature (T2) Outside air temperature (T9) Two refrigerant pressure transducers are used in each circuit for sensing suction and discharge pressure. The microprocessor uses these inputs to control capacity and fan cycling. Saturated condensing temperature Cooler saturation temperature The microprocessor uses these temperatures and pressures to control capacity and fan cycling.
Control sequence
Off cycle If ambient temperature is below 36 F (2 C), cooler heaters (if equipped) are also energized. Start-up After control circuit switches on, the prestart process takes place, then microprocessor checks itself, starts pump (if configured) and waits for temperature to stabilize. The controlled pulldown feature limits compressor loading on start-up to reduce demand on start-up and unnecessary compressor usage. The microprocessor limits supply-fluid temperature decrease (start-up only) to 1 F (0.6 C) per minute. Capacity control On first call for cooling, microprocessor starts initial compressor and fan stage on lead circuit. As additional cooling is required, additional compressors are energized. Speed at which capacity is added or reduced is controlled by temperature deviation from set point and rate of temperature change of chilled fluid. The Main Base Board (MBB) responds to temperature of supply chilled water to cycle the compressor(s) and to control compressor unloading and loading to match cooling load requirements. Minimum load control valve is energized by the MBB. Valve allows hot gas to pass directly into the cooler circuit on the final step of unloading, maintaining constant suction pressure and permitting the unit to operate at lower loads with less compressor cycling.

Controls (cont)
Standard ComfortLink controls with scrolling marquee display module A four-digit alphanumeric display shows all of the ComfortLink control codes (with 60-character expandable clear language), plus set points, time of day, temperatures, pressures, and superheat. Additional information can be displayed all at once with the accessory Navigator display. Low-temperature override This feature prevents LCWT (leaving chilled fluid temperature) from overshooting the set point and possibly causing a nuisance trip-out by the freeze protection. High-temperature override This feature allows chiller to add capacity quickly during rapid load variations. Abnormal conditions All control safeties in chiller operate through compressor protection board or control relay and microprocessor. Loss of feedback signal to the MBB will cause the compressor(s) to shut down. For other safeties, microprocessor makes appropriate decision to shut down a compressor due to a safety trip or bad sensor reading and displays appropriate failure code on the display. Chiller holds in safety mode until reset. It then reverts to normal control when unit is reset. Low-pressure safety Safety cuts out if system pressure drops below minimum. High-pressure cutout Switch shuts down compressors if compressor discharge pressure increases to 426 psig (2937 kPa). Compressor anti-cycling This feature limits compressor cycling. Loss of flow protection Proof of flow switches are standard and installed on all 30RA chillers. Sensor failures Failures are detected by the microprocessor. Dual chiller control The ComfortLink controller allows 2 chillers (piped in parallel) to operate as a single chilled water plant with standard control functions coordinated through the master chiller controller. This standard ComfortLink feature requires a communication link between the 2 chillers. Temperature reset If applied, microprocessor compares either return fluid, space temperature, or outdoor-air temperature with the accessory board settings, and adjusts LCWT appropriately. The Energy Management Module can also be added for 4 to 20 mA reset. Accessory controls Demand can be limited by controlling the chiller capacity through the demand limit control (the Energy Management Module is required for this function). This FIOP/accessory interfaces with microprocessor to control unit so that chillers kW demand does not exceed its setting. It is activated from an external switch or a 4 to 20 mA signal. The standard ComfortLink control is programmed to accept various accessory temperature reset options (based on outdoor-air temperature [std], return-fluid temperature, or space temperature), that reset the LCWT. An accessory thermistor (T10) is required if outdoor-air temperature or space temperature reset is selected. The Energy 34 Management Module (EMM) is only required for temperature reset that is initiated by a 4 to 20 mA signal. Demand limit If applied, the demand limit function limits the total power draw of unit to selected point by controlling number of operational compressors during periods of peak electrical demand. The Energy Management Module is required for either 2-stage or 4 to 20 mA demand limit. Navigator display module An optional 4-line, 20-character per line display an also available as a fieldinstalled accessory. Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) The TXV controls refrigerant flow to the cooler for different operating conditions. An equalization line and temperaturecontrolled sensing bulb are used to maintain a fixed setting of super-heated refrigerant leaving the cooler. Diagnostics The microprocessor may be put through a service test (see Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service, and Troubleshooting literature). Service test confirms microprocessor is functional, informs observer through display the condition of each sensor and switch in chiller, and allows observer to check for proper operation of fans and compressors. Default settings To facilitate quick start-ups, 30RA chillers with ComfortLink controls are pre-configured with a default setting that assumes stand-alone operation supplying 44 F (6.7 C) chilled water. Configuration settings will be based on any options or accessories included with the unit at the time of manufacturing. Date and time are set to U.S.A. Eastern Time zone and will need reconfiguring based on location and local time zone. If operation based on occupancy scheduling is desired, this will also need to be set during installation. Ice duty ComfortLink controls have the capability of reduced leaving fluid temperature operation for thermal storage, or ice duty. The optional Energy Management Module includes input contacts for the ice done signal generated by the thermal storage control system. The ice duty feature may be configured to start on an external input command or by the ComfortLink standard internal scheduling function. The ice duty function requires brine modification for leaving fluid temperatures below 40 F (4.4 C). Ice duty may be used in combination with any other standard features offered by the Energy Management Module and ComfortLink controls. The production of ice, which is stored for peak cooling demands, can significantly decrease energy costs. The unit produces ice (normally at night) by supplying ice storage tanks with low temperature cooling fluid. The chiller takes advantage of reduced ambient conditions at night for icemaking mode, so the capacity suffers a lower penalty for the low leaving fluid temperatures. At peak cooling demands the chiller and the stored ice may share the cooling load to reduce operating costs. The thermal storage system may potentially reduce the size of the chiller plant required to meet demand loads.

Application data
Chiller location
Do not locate near sound sensitive areas without proper acoustic consideration. Pad isolated from building rooftop mounting requires consideration for structure-borne transmission. Unit must be level within 1/8-in. per ft when installed to ensure proper oil return to the compressors. Clearances must be provided around chillers for airflow, service and local code requirements. See dimensional drawings for specific unit clearance requirements. Chiller fan discharge must be at or above adjacent solid walls. Installation in pits is not recommended. 1. Multiple smaller chillers may be applied in series, each providing a portion of the design temperature rise. 2. Cooler fluid may be recirculated to raise the flow rate to the chiller. However, the mixed temperature entering cooler must be maintained a minimum of at least 5 F (2.8 C) above the LCWT. NOTE: Recirculation flow is shown below.
RECIRCULATION FLOW
Oversizing chillers
Oversizing chillers by more than 15% at design conditions must be avoided as the system operating efficiency is adversely affected (resulting in greater or excessive electrical demand). When future expansion of equipment is anticipated, install a single chiller to meet present load requirements and add a second chiller to meet the additional load demand. It is also recommended that 2 smaller chillers be installed where operation at minimum load is critical. The operation of a smaller chiller loaded to a greater percentage over minimum is preferred to operating a single chiller at or near its minimum recommended value. Minimum Load Control should not be used as a means to allow oversizing chillers. Minimum Load Control should be given consideration where substantial operating time is anticipated below the minimum unloading step.

Maximum cooler flow The maximum cooler flow (approximately 5 F [2.8 C] rise) results in a practical maximum pressure drop through cooler. Return fluid may bypass the cooler to keep the pressure drop through the cooler within acceptable limits. This permits a higher delta T with lower fluid flow through cooler and mixing after the cooler. NOTE: Bypass flow is shown below.

Cooler flow/range
Ratings and performance data in this publication are for a cooling temperature rise of 10 F (6 C), and are suitable for a range from 5 to 20 F (2.8 to 11.1 C) temperature rise without adjustment. The 30RA chillers may be operated using a different temperature range, provided flow limits are not exceeded. For minimum flow rates, see Minimum and Maximum Cooler Flow Rates table. High flow rate is limited by pressure drop that can be tolerated. Use the Packaged Chiller Builder Program to obtain the rating if a temperature rise other than 10 F (6 C) is used. Minimum cooler flow (maximum cooler temperature rise) The minimum cooler flow for standard units is shown in Minimum and Maximum Cooler Fluid Flow Rates table. When system design conditions require a lower flow (or higher rise) than the minimum allowable cooler flow, follow the recommendations below.

Tank volume
A properly baffled storage tank is available as an accessory. These tanks are designed to physically fit beneath the corresponding 30RA unit, taking up the same footprint. Available volume is as follows: 30RA010-018 110 gallons (416 liters) 30RA022-030 152 gallons (575 liters) 30RA035-055 305 gallons (1155 liters) NOTE: This tank requires a separate 230/1/60 power source.
Strainers
A strainer with a minimum of 20 mesh must be installed in the cooler fluid inlet line, just ahead of (and as close as possible) to the cooler.
To achieve this fluid volume, it is often necessary to install a tank in the loop. The tank should be baffled to ensure there is no stratification and that water (or brine) entering the tank is adequately mixed with liquid in the tank.

4. Use a feeder/transfer pump to mix the solution and fill the system. Circulate the cleaning system for the length of time recommended by the cleaning agent manufacturer. a. After cleaning, drain the cleaning fluid and flush the system with fresh water. b. A slight amount of cleaning residue in the system can help keep the desired, slightly alkaline, water pH of 8 to 9. Avoid a pH greater than 10, since this will adversely affect pump seal components. c. A side stream filter is recommended during the cleaning process. Filter side flow rate should be enough to filter the entire water volume every 3 to 4 hours. Change filters as often as necessary during the cleaning process. d. Remove temporary bypass when cleaning is complete. A strainer with a blow-down valve is standard on all 30RA units, both with and without hydronic packages. The blowdown valve allows removal of particulates caught in the strainer without complete removal of the screen. A female NPT connection is provided on the valve, allowing hose connection for drainage outside the unit. The Carrier ComfortLink controls provided have a builtin feature to remind building owners or operators to clean the strainer by discharging the blow-down valve at a pre-set time interval. Properly installed and cleaned systems will rarely need the strainer cleaned after the initial fill. This time interval is user-configurable.

*Sulfides in the water quickly oxidize when exposed to air, requiring that no agitation occur as the sample is taken. Unless tested immediately at the site, the sample will require stabilization with a few drops of one Molar zinc acetate solution, allowing accurate sulfide determination up to 24 hours after sampling. A low pH and high alkalinity cause system problems, even when both values are within the ranges shown. The term pH refers to the acidity, basicity, or neutrality of the water supply. Below 7.0, the water is considered to be acidic. Above 7.0, water is considered to be basic. Neutral water contains a pH of 7.0. Dissolved carbon dioxide can either be calculated from the pH and total alkalinity values, shown below, or measured on the site using a test kit. Dissolved Carbon Dioxide, PPM = TA x 2[(6.3-pH)/0.3] where TA = Total Alkalinity, PPM as CaCO3.

concentration will be high enough to keep the fluid in a condition that it can be pumped at low ambient conditions. IMPORTANT: Glycol anti-freeze solutions are highly recommended since heater tapes provide no protection in the event of a power failure. Consult glycol fluid manufacturers for burst protection recommendations and fluid specifications.

Air separation
For proper system operation, it is essential that water loops be installed with proper means to manage air in the system. Free air in the system can cause noise, reduce terminal output, stop flow, or even cause pump failure due to pump cavitation. For closed systems, equipment should be provided to eliminate all air from the system. The amount of air that water can hold in solution depends on the pressure and temperature of the water/air mixture. Air is less soluble at higher temperatures and at lower pressures. Therefore, separation can best be done at the point of highest water temperature and lowest pressure. Typically, this point would be on the suction side of the pump as the water is returning from the system or terminals. Generally speaking, this is the best place to install an air separator, if possible. 1. Install automatic air vents at all high points in the system. (If the 30RA unit is located at the high point of the system, a vent can be installed on the piping entering the heat exchanger on the -in. NPT female port.) 2. Install an air separator in the water loop, at the place where the water is at higher temperatures and lower pressures usually in the chilled water return piping. On a primary-secondary system, the highest temperature water is normally in the secondary loop, close to the decoupler. Preference should be given to that point on the system. In-line or centrifugal air separators are readily available in the field. It may not be possible to install air separators at the place of lowest pressure and highest temperature. In such cases, preference should be given to the points of highest temperature. It is important that pipe be sized correctly so that free air can be moved to the point of separation. Generally, a water velocity of at least 2 feet per second will keep free air entrained and prevent it from forming air pockets. Automatic vents should be installed at all physically elevated points in the system so that air can be eliminated during system operation. Provision should also be made for manual venting during the water loop fill. It is important that the automatic vents be located in accessible locations for maintenance purposes, and that they be located where they can be prevented from freezing.
Parallel chillers with hydronic packages require that pump inlets be equalized to prevent pump cavitation. Pump expansion tanks must be removed and located together in the common pump suction header. All materials needed
