2.3.2. Check of low pressure cut control


Low pressure is decreased by closing the stop valve. Then, low pressure cut
device is activated (Alarm stop).
<Activation conditions for low pressure cut control>
Activated in 3 seconds at low pressure sensor detection pressure of below
0.049MPa

2.3.3. Temperature controller


It is difficult to check the temperature controller accurately in an installation place,
however, the following method helps to grasp the setting state roughly.
1. Temperature controller is set in high temperature side for chilled water, and in
low temperature side for warm water.
2. Measure the set temperature at compressor stop, and compare it with actual
inlet water temperature.

2.3.4. Check of refrigerant leakage


It is possible for screws to be loosened at delivery. Take 10~15 seconds at least in one
position to check the leakage.

Test run

2.4. Instruction at delivery


When delivering the unit after test run, give an appropriate explanation to customers about operation method and
periodical maintenance method etc as well as the following items.
1. Apply the electricity to oil heater
Do not turn off the power source of unit during normal use in order that electricity is applied to oil
heater. In case of re-starting the unit after a long time, turn on the power 12 hours before operation
start. Oil heater avoids the damage of shaft and rotor, preventing the foaming of lubrication oil in
compressor at start-up. (Heats oil to approx. 40ºC)

2
2. If chiller unit is not used for a long time, drain the water out of pipes using water-drawing or air-drawing
plug.
3. Anti-freeze in winter
− To avoid freezing, which might damage devices or pipes, it is needed to be installed some insulation in pump
and water pipes.
− This chiller has a function to operate chilled (warm) water circulation pump automatically in case of
decreasing outside temperature during unit stop, therefore, do not turn off the power source during season.
In case of turning off, draw the water out of chiller unit.
4. In case of fire,
Turn all power OFF
5. The unit will not display failure in spite of the following cases.
− During operation and after unit stop, if there is water flowing noise. However, this is a refrigerant flowing
noise, and it is not a failure.
− Compressor is not operated (fuses are out) although operation switch is ON while temperature controller is
being activated. This is not a failure, but operation is started when temperature control (Thermostat) turns
ON.
− In screw type chiller unit, there is a noise in the compressor rotors when it is stopped. Refrigerant is flowed
back temporally, and this is not a failure.
6. The refrigerant used in this unit is incombustible, non-toxic and odourless safe. However, toxic gas is
produced when leaked refrigerant is exposed to fire and oxygen will be lacked due to that refrigerants
gravity is higher than air. Therefore, in case that refrigerant is leaked or eye or throat are irritated, stop the
use of fire, and ventilate well, then contact a distributor.
7. About operation method
Standard method of use is described in the operation manual attached with the product. Operation
method would be changed if special modification were realized by request of the customers. Give a
clear explanation to the customers that it is necessary to contact a distributor or Customer Service
Centre of manufactures in case that operation, not described in the manual, must be performed.
8. For customers’ continued safety
For customers’ safety, give plain and sufficient explanation and instruction to them about the contents
of “Please observe safety precautions fully” described in Installation Manual and “For safety use”
described the Operation Manual, and tell them to read them very carefully.
Cautions are divided into “Alarm” and “Caution”:
“Alarm” includes cases where it is possible to lead to a dangerous result like death or severe injury.
Cases described in “Caution” may also lead a grave result depending on the situations. Therefore,
please read them carefully and follow the instruction.
Operation Manual should be kept where any user can reach.

2.5.Warning & Cautions

2.5.1. During product and electrical installation

WARNING − Installation must be performed by distributors or specialists. Inadequate


installation may cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
− Electrical work must be performed by person with qualification. Inadequate
electrical work may cause electrical shock.
− Confirm if earth wire is connected. Earth wire is determined according to the
technical criteria of electrical installation.
− Do not use wire or copper wire in stead of a fuse inside the unit or in the switch
for power source. It may cause heat or fire in case of abnormal current.
− Confirm if fuse is correct and adequate. In case of setting inadequate fuse, like
high volume fuse, fuse would not melt in spite of abnormal current, and cause
fire. See installation check manual attached with the unit for correct fuse volume.
− Confirm the open/close state of valves according to label or operation manual.
Especially, confirm if inlet valve is open in those products that have inlet valve
of condenser. Operation with the valve close may cause explosion due to the
abnormal increase of high pressure.
− Use only specified refrigerant. Nitrogen gas should be used in air tight test. The
use of combustible gas like oxygen and acethylene may cause fire or explosion.

2.5.2. During operation


WARNING
 Fig.10 − Do not touch the switch with wet hand. It may cause electrical shock (fig.10).

4.2. Water control

4.2.1. Automatic temperature adjustment

− Outlet water temperature of Chiller Unit is detected by Thermistor, and based on this value, compressor ON/
OFF and the most suitable capacity is determined.
− Possible range of water temperature setting (°C):
Cooling –10(option)~15, Heating: 35~55 (outlet water temperature control)
− Capacity control : 100~15%, stop
− The minimum range of temperature adjustment (°C): 0,5
− Restarting of unit after thermo-OFF is done depending on inlet water temperature.

Memorizes the inlet After restart, outlet temp. is detected and


temperature at Thermo-OFF the performance is increased by load-up
and re-start at ∆T2 operation in order that temp. be closer to
set temp. as earlier as possible.

Between setting temp (Tsc) and


range of neutral zone (∆T3),
capacity control balanced by load is
done to keep the temp steady.

Between setting temp (Tsc) and


range of stop (∆T1), load-down is
performed.

Method of outlet temp detection

In case of standard setting: outlet setting temp 7°C, neutral zone (∆T3) 2°C (change of outlet water temp 7~9°C).
Range of stop temp (∆T1) 1°C (stop temp 6°C), range of restart temp 2°C.

1. Load-up I control at over 10°C (The capacity is changed a lot in order to approximate the target temp.
quickly)
2. Load-up II control at 9~10 °C (The capacity is changed moderately)
3. In neutral zone (9~7°C), load is balanced and performance is not changed.
4. Under neutral zone (below 7°C) load-down control is performed and performance is decreased.
5. Stop temp: Compressor is stopped at 6 °C. The inlet temp of that time is saved.
6. When inlet temp becomes 2°C higher than that of at stop, re-start signal is output and unit is re-started after
at least 3 min guard.
7. Control mode after re-start is the same as listed before.

Control system

In this series, electronic expansion valve is used. Electronic expansion valve is consisted in the body (figure), Coil,
and PCB for expansion valve running (PCBG (VD PCB)).

1. The range of opening of expansion valve


The opening of expansion valve is managed by pulse number. The range is 116~656 pulse. During stop, it is
stand-by with 10 pulse.

2. PCB for expansion valve running


PCBG (VD PCB) is used. The pulse number of the opening of expansion valve is indicated in the segment on
VD PCB.

3. Zero point adjustment


Zero point is adjusted by initialization at power ON. The order of opening of expansion valve is closed fully

4
(less than 0 pulse) and both control pulse number recognized in micro computer and real pulse number are
adjusted to zero. During this adjustment, “Cn-Eo” is indicated in the segment. (n= Unit No.)
Zero point adjustment is also performed “ at the first compressor stop after 24 hours since the last zero point
adjustment”., to modify the error between control pulse number and real pulse number. If compressore has
not stopped for over 200 hours, compressor is to be stopped forcedly (forced Thermo OFF) and zero point
is adjusted. Then, unit is re-started after 3 minutes guards. It is possible to cancel this forced zero point
adjustment by Dip Switch selection on expansión valve PCB.

4. During normal operation


Temperature of compressor suction gas superheat is calculated from the temperature detected by Thermistor
of compressor suction refrigerant gas and the pressure detected by the sensor for suction pressure, and the
opening is determined by calculation value to reach target superheat. (Control cycle: 28 seconds)

5. Prevention control for discharge refrigerant gas overheat


When discharge gas refrigerant temperature is over 100°C, expansion valve is opened forcedly and excess
increase of discharge gas refrigerant temperature is prevented. (Td control).

6. Prevention control for freezing


If it is detected that refrigerant inlet temperature of water side heat exchanger is decreased, expansion valve
shall be open so that decrease of refrigerant temperature is prevented, which leads to anti-freeze in the
water side heat exchanger.

5.1.5. Modification of PCBC configuration

Every Chiller is delivered with the correct priority configuration (Master PCB and slave PCB). In case of a
Control PCB delivered as a spare part, it will be necessary to set the correct priority configuration because it
is not known where it will be applied (Chiller model).

In case that this priority configuration is not correct, the Chiller cannot operate. See next point.

 Problem detection

When the priority configuration is not correct, on the 7 segment it is displayed:

:
7 segments on PCBA shows the above message and no alarm message is shown.

 Configuration

To establish the right priority configuration in each PCBC it is necessary to connect an operation
PCB (PCBA and PCBB) to the corresponding Control PCBC. It means that in case of a CHILLER Electric Box
with 5 cycles, it is necessary to connect an additional operation PCB (PCBA and PCBB) to establish the right
priority configuration in this subsidiary control PCB (PCB C2)

Next drawings shows the controls required for this procedure.

:x “X” is the priority number (0, 1 or 2) that you can select following the next point.

3. For modifying “X” value is necessary to push during 1 second SW3 or SW4 of Operation PCB (PCBA)
depending if you want to increase (DSW3) or decrease (DSW4) the priority number
4. Push at the same time DSW3 and DSW4 for 3 seconds for fixing at “U1” the corresponding priority
number established before in “U2”.
5. Switch OFF the power supply in the Electrical Box (M.I. switch OFF)
6. Switch ON the power supply in the Electrical Box (M.I. switch ON)
7. See on the Operation PCB, in the 7 segments, the right configuration number according to the table on
point 7. On the contrary repeat again all steps and select the right configuration number.
8. Restore the initial setting: DWS1, RSW8-3
Confirm the initial setting for these switches with the Technical Catalogue considering the options included

Maintenance

6.3. Maintenance of Water Quality

This air-conditioning device uses water as a heat source (for cooling) or as a media (chilled water, heat water) for use of
heat. Therefore, it is necessary to select suitable water and control it to maintain the quality and performance and avoid
possible problems.
Serious failure of plate heat exchanger may stop the units function and cause high expenses for its repair. Therefore, it is
indispensable to promote the maintenance and selection of water for the chiller installation.
Read the below criteria of water quality very carefully to avoid any troubles.
In case of using some chemical products for water treatment, it is recommended to consult with manufacturers
specialised in water treatment, since characteristics of chemical agents may differ with product specifiactions.

6.3.1. Water to be used


Water to be supplied to the chiller should be running water (clean water), industrial water or groundwater.
Other special water like pure water cannot be used in the standard product.

6.3.2. Criteria of Water


The later table shows the guideline of water quality regulated by JRAIA. Each criteria is set for water for
cooling and for heating. The compliance of this criteria is premised on the product guarantee.

 Explanation of Main Items in Water Quality Maintenance>

− pH (hydrogen-ion concentration)
pH is used as a measure to judge acidity, neutral and alkalinity of water. It is a big factor in taste, corrosion,

6
purification effect in water treatment, disinfection effect in chloride treatment, water stain formation, and other
fields like analytic chemistry, biochemistry etc. The below figure shows an example of relation between pH
value and corrosion.
Penetration (mm/year)

Relation between pH and corrosion of soft steel

− Electrical conductivity
To know the outline of water quality, it is effective to measure electrical conductivity. This value is determined
by quality and quantity of dissolved chlorine, and generally water with a greater value of electrical
conductivity is not suitable since it has a lot of substance causing corrosion and lime.
− Chloride ion
Chloride ion has a important property regarding corrosion and corrosion is higher in water with big amount
of chloride ion although pH value is free of corrosion. Chloride ion does not have oxidise property, however
precious metal is penetrated if chloride ion combines with oxidant or dissolved oxygen.
− Sulfate ion
Sulfate ion is a cause of corrosion, but it gives an indication for line formation. If running water has a great
amount of sulfate ion, it will become rusty water.

pag. 153
SMGB0003 rev.0 - 11/2006
Maintenance

− Acid consumption (pH4.8) = M alkali level


It shows the volume of hydroxide, carbonate and bicarbonate in water. It is a base of
saturation index calculation or prevention of corrosion, rusty water and line formation.
− All hardness, calcium hardness
The volume of calcium ion and magnesium ion in water is indicated with mg/l
corresponding to the calcium carbonate . Hardness by calcium ion is called calcium
hardness. This is a cause of line trouble related with temperature, pH, and electrical
conductivity.
− Ionic silica
When metallic corrosion products (FE, Zn etc) increase in water, silica produces
compound products reacting with metallic corrosion products, which helps that line is
found easily.
− Iron
Iron exists in water as a bicarbonate, a chloride, a hydrosulfate,a hydroxide, iron
bacterium and an organoiron salt, and is a cause of rusty water or line trouble.
− Copper
Copper is often melt from copper pipes. Copper is a promoting factor of corrosion
against iron pipes or galvanized steel pipe.
− Sulfide ion
It is a sulfide dissolved in water. When pH is decreased, sulfide is dissolved to produce
H2S, which causes a heavy corrosion on many metal materials.
− Ammonium ion
When ammonium exist in water, copper and ammonium react together to produce
complex salt, which leads to copper evolution and finally to the corrosion. The volume
of ammonium, producing copper and complex salt, is equivalent in NH3+ H2O ↔NH4+
+OH-. When water pH value increases, the volume of ammonium also increases, and
the danger to corrosive becomes higher.
− Chlorine residual
It is chlorine remained in the water which has been chlorinated, and is a cause of
corrosion of copper etc.
− Free carbon dioxide
It is carbon dioxide gas dissolved in water, and is a cause of iron corrosion or action on
concrete.
− Ryzner Stability Index (RSI))
It is a measure of the grade of water corrosion and line production. It is calculated by
the following formula.
RSI = (9.3+A+B-C-D) x 2 –E
CAUTION A: Dissolved matter index=0.1 (electrical conductivity≒5~50mS/m)., 0.2 (electrical
In the beside data, only conductivity≒50~150mS/m)
chilled circulation water is
defined, however, stable B: Temperature index <Chilled water>=2.4, <Warm water>=1.6
index of 6~7 should be
kept in other cases. C: Calcium hardness index = log (calcium hardness) – 0.4
D: Oxygen consumption (pH4.8) index = log[Oxygen consumption (pH4.8)]
E: pH value
RSI < 6: Possibility of line production
6≦RSI < 7: Stable area
RSI≧7: Possibility of corrosion

pag. 154
SMGB0003 rev.0 - 11/2006
Maintenance

− Dissolved oxygen
It is an oxygen gas dissolved in water and is a great factor to promote the corrosion. Regarding copper
corrosion, possibility of corrosion is increased in dissolved oxygen volume of 5~15 (ml/l), and is decreased in
greater or less value than that.
Remarks: Oxygen consumption, all hardness and calcium hardness
If these values are greater, line is likely to be produced, and if they are fewer, corrosion is likely to be
caused. In the guideline presented in the table, only the upper value is limited, which is based on an idea of
prevention of line trouble and of that the corrosion can be judged by other method. Therefore, if there is no
worry about line trouble, it is better to keep these values high to prevent the possibility of corrosion.
Concretely, in chilled and warm water, if RSI is 6~7.5 (there is no worry about line problem), it is convenient
to maintain the below value to prevent the corrosion.
- Oxygen consumption (pH4.8) (mgCaCO3/l) =50~100
- All hardness (mgCaCO3/l) =50~200
- Calcium hardness (mgCaCO3/l) =below 150

6.3.3. Maintenance method of Water Quality

 Quality inspection of circulation water

1. Before test run, all criteria items in the table should be checked.
2. The first week after test run pH and electrical conductivity should be measured. In case of any
trouble, all items should be checked. 6
3. One month after test run, all items should be checked.
4. After that, water quality tendency should be captured in these 3 tests and afterward schedule should
be decided by these results. Even in the case of no trouble, pH and electrical conductivity should be
checked every month and all criteria items of water quality should be checked every half year.

 Action in case of water quality trouble

When the result of periodical inspection recognises some troubles in water quality, those actions as similar to
the following should be taken according to the situation.
1. Replace old water to new one or perform forced blow. (once a week ~ once a month)
2. Water should be treated with anti-corrosion agent or line inhibitor.

6.4. Cleaning of water side heat exchanger

Plate heat exchanger is used in water side heat exchanger in this series .
Water passes through the clearance between plates in the plate heat exchanger,
therefore, dust or foreign materials should not exist there. (See the below structure
figure for your reference)
Strainer (correspondent to 20 mesh) should be installed in the inlet pipe of chilled water
(Strainer should be prepared in each case).
Line is produced based on the water quality, and it is possible to decrease the
performance or to break the plate due to the partial freezing caused by local clogging,
which leads to the refrigerant leakage. Cleaning of strainer as well as water side heat
exchanger should be performed periodically.
See the below cautions and normal cleaning method for your reference. Contact the
below detergent companies to the details.

CAUTION
1. Suitable cleaning agent for line should be selected. (According to the dirty, cleaning

2. Plate heat exchanger is made by stainless. (Copper material is used in the
connection of plate). Therefore, do not use a cleaning agent with “chlorine and
fluoride”. If it were used, heat exchanger should be damaged, which may cause the

 Step 1: Cleaning circuit installation

− Chiller unit operation is stopped.


− Circulation pump operation is stopped.
− Water inlet/outlet connection is removed from the water circuit of unit, and another
circulation circuit used the acid-proof pump is installed separately from the water
circuit.

 Step 2: Confirmation of circulation circuit


An acid-proof pump is run while water is put in the tank for cleaning, and confirm

− if water is not leaked from the cleaning circuit.


− If cleaning hose is fixed.
− if devices installed around the unit is not contaminated by cleaning liquid, possible to
overflow from the tank
− if air is not clogged.
− if there is no strange noise.

 Step 3: Cleaning
− Drain off the water in cleaning circuit.
− Adequate quantity of cleaning agent is put in the tank for cleaning and while diluting it,
operate the acid-proof pump so that the diluted cleaning liquid circulates in the circuit.
− Perform the circulation cleaning during prescribed time (it is determined in each
cleaning agent, although it differs from liquid type or density). It is necessary to
change the cleaning time according to the dirtiness.

 Step 4: Wastewater treatment


− Acid-proof pump operation is stopped.
− Wastewater is put to the tank for wastewater collection.
− Water is put in the tank for cleaning and the tank is washed with pump.
− Water used before is also put to the tank for wastewater collection.
− While confirming with pH test paper, neutralization agent is added gradually to
neutralise the tank.
− Neutralised wastewater should be treated by industrial waste disposal contractor.
In case that wastewater is diluted by much abundant of water and drained to public
sewer, consult with a cleaning agent company in advance.

 Step 5: Neutrization treatment

− Water is put in the tank for cleaning.


− Acid-proof pump is operated while air is pulled out.
− While confirming with pH test paper, neutralization agent is added gradually so that pH
value be 7~9.
− After pump is operated for prescribed time, neutrization treatment is finished.
− After finishing neutrization treatment, neutrization liquid is drained to public sewer.
− Circulation pump is operated and circulation system is washed sufficiently until dirty
liquid is totally out.

 Step 6: Re-start operation

6.6. Caution on handling of R407C

6.6.1. Refrigerant
The refrigerant is HFC type refrigerant whose ozone destruction coefficient is ZERO. If other refrigerant is
mixed, the property of refrigerant is changed and may cause a problem. The following points should be taken
into account on its handling.
− Refrigerant should be added in liquid state not in gas state. R407C is nonazeotropic refrigerant mixture,
and compositions of boiling point are different. Therefore, if it is added in gas state, refrigerant, easy to
evaporate, is added and refrigerant, hard to evaporate, remains in a refrigerant tank.
− Confirm if the tanks specialised for R407C.
− The tank should be set so that refrigerant can be added in gas state.
− The valves or hose for charge should be specialised for R407C.

6.6.2. Refrigerant oil


Freol UX300 of Japan Energy is used as a refrigerant oil due to its high compatibility with R407C. Other
refrigerant oil cannot be used, therefore, pay attention not to be mixed with others at maintenance. The
hygroscopicity is the same as a conventional Icematic SW220HT of Castrol, therefore, moisture maintenance is
not changed. (Icematic SW220HT as well as Ferreol UX300 are ester series refrigerant oil, therefore, open to the
ambient air as short as possible)

6.6.3. Refrigeration cycle complete parts


Organic materials (rubber, teflon) used in compressor and control device use compatible parts with Freol
UX300 and R407C.
The pressure of R407C is higher than that of R22, and pressure strength of devices is increased. Therefore,
devices for R407C are not compatible with that for R22. Use specified devices when replacing the
compressor and refrigeration cycle parts at maintenance.
Do not put R407C to the units for R22 .

6.6.4. Reference materials


The following materials are published as a reference for R407C handling. Please see for them.
− Implementation, service and maintenance of Package Air conditionings with R407C. (material No.: HR-
325)
− Implantation and service technique of devices used HFC series (JRAIA)

6.7. Manual at compressor overall check and parts check

The refrigerant (R407C) used in this unit is HFC refrigerant and does not cause the destruction of ozone layer in
contrast with CFC or HCFC refrigerant.
However, its global heating coefficient is the same level as HCFC refrigerant, therefore it is important to control the
discharge. Also, it is necessary to collect refrigerant at disposal of device or at arrangement of devices.
Collection of refrigerant, vacuuming and additional insertion of refrigerant at compressor overall check and parts
check are shown in the following.
Handling of R407C alternative refrigerant is described in “Implantation / Service Technical of Devices used HFC
Refrigerant”.

6.7.1. Collection of refrigerant


Refrigerant at airside heat exchanger should be collected in case of compressor overall check and parts
check. However, at replacement or arrangement of airside heat exchanger itself, valve and fusible plug
of airside heat exchanger, refrigerant of airside heat exchanger and other high pressure parts cannot be
collected, and refrigerant inside the refrigeration cycle is needed to be collected using refrigerant collection
device.

1. Liquid outlet valve (A) of airside heat exchanger is fully closed.


2. Chiller unit is operated with chilled water fully flowing.
owing (In case of air-cooled heat pump type it is
operated in cooling mode)
3. Chiller unit is stopped when pressure of low pressure side is decreased to aprox. 0.05MPa. Do NOT
operate Chiller unit under 0.05MPa. Such operation may cause a compressor failure.
4. After a few minutes later when pressure of low pressure side is increased to 0.45~0.5MPa, chiller
unit is re-operated and (2) and (3) are repeated 4~5 times.
5. This above operation enables the major part of refrigeration cycle to be collected in airside heat
exchanger and high pressure pipe (between (B) and (A)).
6. Refrigerant, remained in low pressure side pipe and water cooling device, should be collected from
stop valve (D) using refrigerant collection device.

6.10.Vacuuming Procedure

Although refrigerant is collected to airside heat exchanger by the above collection operation,
it is necessary to be vacuumed due to that refrigerant cycle of low pressure side pipe and of
water side heat exchanger are open.
Vacuum should be performed in the following 2 positions.
− Stop valve for refrigerant insertion ((D) part)
− Check joint of compressor suction side ((E) part)
*Capillary for compound gauge in low pressure side is installed in check joint. This
capillary should be removed from check joint.
Vacuuming procedure is shown in the following.

6.10.1. Vacuuming
− Manifold valve, vacuuming pump and vacuuming gauge for R407C are connected.
− Operate vacuuming pump for at least 1~2 hours until vacuum grade be below
–755mmHg (5Torr).

− Water evaporation>
In atmosphere pressure, water boils at 100°C, however, each time a pressure in
pipes reaches to a vacuum state, water boils at lower temperature than 100°C.
The lower this temperature is, the more water evaporates and vacuum drying is
kept.

CAUTION If there is a possibility of dew condensation, vacuum (vacuuming time) should be


controlled more strictly since water does not evaporate easily and it is difficult to know
the degree of dew condensation. It is desirable to control the vacuum grade as a
–755~758 mmHg (5~2 Torr).

6.10.2. Leave

After finishing vacuuming, manifold valve is closed and vacuum pump is


stopped, and then leave it for 1 hour to confirm if a pressure measured by
vacuum gauge is not increased.

CAUTION
1. This process should be performed since air can be leaked due to the
negative pressure although air leakage is not confirmed in air tight test.
2. In case of increasing pressure, it is possible that there is a slight
leakage in some positions. Perform air tight test again, and perform
vacuum drying again after repaired.

6.11. Additional refrigerant insertion

According to the refrigerant characteristics, the followings should be taken into account.

CAUTION − Refrigerant should be added in liquid state not in gas state.


− Confirm if the tanks are specialised for R407C.
− The tank should be set so that refrigerant can be added in gas state.
− The valves or hose for charge should be specialised for R407C.
