1-1-3.Operating precautions

① Keep the purge valve shut tightly to prevent air from leaking into the Chiller, which may
cause the failure of the Chiller.

② Keep to turn on the power supply to the control panel without maintenance service.

③ During the dilution cycle operation of the Chiller as well, the chilled water pump (both the
primary side and the secondary side) and air handling unit must be operated for the necessary
time. The Chiller has a little cooling capacity even if it is in the dilution cycle operation.
Do not stop the air handling unit before the necessary time to prevent possible subcooling.

④ Do not perform an insulation test on the control circuits of the electric controller.

⑤ Use Carries recommended interlock system for stop/start of the auxiliary equipment.
The interlock system automatically stops/starts chilled water pump and cooling water pump.
Please follow the start procedure in Figure 1-1 below.

 2-3. FLOWCHART OF CHILLER AND FUNCTION OF EACH SECTION

a) EVAPORATOR
The refrigerant is dispersed on the heat transfer tubes of evaporator. Chilled water through the heat
transfer tubes of evaporator is cooled by the latent heat of vaporized refrigerant.
b) ABSORBER
The concentrated solution is dispersed on the heat transfer tubes of absorber. The refrigerant vapor
from evaporator is absorbed on the heat transfer tubes of absorber by the concentrated solution.
Cooling water through the heat transfer tubes of absorber is heated by absorption heat.
c) HEAT EXCHANGER
The diluted solution, after leaving the absorber section, passes through the heat exchanger, where
it is heated by the concentrated solution.
The concentrated solutions are cooled by the diluted solution. This cooling process of the
concentrated solution allows for greater absorbing power due to its lower temperature.
d) GENERATOR
The passes through the heat transfer tubes of generator.
The diluted solution in the generator is heated by the hot water.
It releases the refrigerant vapor and is concentrated. It becomes concentrated solution.
e) CONDENSER
The refrigerant vapor from the generator is condensed on the heat transfer tubes of condenser.
Cooling water from the absorber is heated by condensation heat.
f) PURGE UNIT
Gather the non-condensable gas within the Chiller/heater and store it in the purge tank.

4-2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

To use the Chiller to its optimum performance, it requires the purging, refrigerant
blow down, absorbent control, and management of combustion equipment, etc. We
recommend that you make a maintenance contract with Carrier service agent.

4-2-1. Purging

The non condensable gas of the machine inside, not only decreases cooling capacity but also
has a bad influence on the life of the machine.
Please leave it to Carrier service personnel under the
maintenance contract. The customer can carry out the purging, but should take instruction
by our service personnel.

43
(1) Purge procedure

When the purge indication lamp on the control panel lights, start purging by
following the instructions below.

a) Turn on the purge pump on/off switch on the control panel, and operate the purge
pump for 10 minutes.

b) Open V1 and V2.

c) Press "▲" key on the operation board once to indicate 17. purge tank pressure
(refer to section 3-5-3) and confirm whether the indicated value drops.
If it does not drop, follow the procedure e), f), and g), and contact Carrier
service agent.

d) Perform purging for 10 minutes. Even if the purge indication lamp stops lighting before 10
minutes have passed, please continue purging for 10 minutes. When the lamp does
not stop lighting, continue purging until the lamp stops lighting.

e) Close V1 and V2.

f) Turn off the purge pump on/off switch.

g) Check whether the valves are open/closed.

4-2-2. Refrigerant blow down

During cooling operation, a little quantity of absorbent could mix into the refrigerant.
This absorbent could increase by a long-term operation and result in a lowering of the
cooling capacity, so refrigerant blow down must be performed once in a cooling season.
By this work, the dirty refrigerant is transferred to absorber side, and new, clear refrigerant
is regenerated.

(1) Make sure the refrigerant pump is

rotating, and also the solution level is
visible through the sight glass of the
evaporator.
(2) Open the blow valve completely.
(3) When the solution level becomes
invisible, close the blow valve tightly.

The above is the blow down procedure.

Repeat it a few times as necessary.
As for the refrigerant blow down, please
make a maintenance contract with
Refrigerant blow valve Carrier service agent.

4-3. WATER TREATMENT

The water treatment is very important to the Chiller.

As the water treatment requires technical knowledge, please consult Carrier service
agent.

4-3-1. Water Treatment for Chilled water and Cooling water

The cooling water of an open-type recycling cooling tower lowers the temperature of the
cooling water using vaporized latent heat, and is reused. At this time, the water is evaporated
and the following salts (hardness materials, chloride ion, sulfate ion, etc.) are concentrated.
Namely, the condensation phenomena of such materials occur, and water quality will be
gradually degraded.
As the water and air always come in contact with each other in the cooling tower, the sulfurous
acid gas, dust, sand, etc. in the atmosphere will mix into the water, further degrading the
water quality.
In the cooling water system, problems with water are caused by these factors.
Typical problems are corrosion, scales and slimes.

(1) Water quality standard

Water quality standard is shown in table 4-2 as an example.
Table4-2 is an extract from JRA-GL 02-1994.

46
47
[Note 1] Each item of the standard values may cause the failure due to corrosion
or scale and if any item deviates from the standard value, it is assumed
that corrosion or scale tends to be caused, therefore, these should be periodically managed.

[Note 2] As the range of the water quality which may become usable if the water is processed
differs depending on the chemicals to be used, it is not given here. It is desirable to set
the appropriate water quality management values under the guidance of a water processing
specialist and periodically manage the water quality.

(2) Typical water treatment

Even if make-up water for cooling water agrees with water standards, the water quality gets
worse by its concentration, therefore the following water treatment is necessary. To varying
extent of deterioration, chilled/hot water also requires this treatment.
In case you use concrete heat storage tank, special attention should be paid to water
treatment.

a) Periodic and continuous manual blow down by make-up water

b) Automatic blow down by electric conductance
c) Addition of the anticorrosion
d) Slime control
e) Periodic water analysis
Overhaul water header periodically, check heat transfer tube and clean it as
necessary.

For example, if 0.6mm of scale clings

to tube, cooling capacity drops to
76%, and chilled water temperature
rises by 2℃ and fuel consumption
rises by 23%.

4-3-2. Water treatment for long term shut down

Perform the following treatment during long term shut down with no-circulation of chilled/hot
water, cooling water in the Chiller. Please consult Carrier service agent for the
the details.
(1) Cooling water

Wet lay up usually. (Keep the cooling water full in the Chiller.)
In case the freezing of cooling water is likely to happen, drain it from the Chiller.
(Dry lay up)
Operation of valve is different between wet lay up and dry lay up.

a)Wet lay up
a-1)Discharge cooling water from its discharge port on the cooling water outlet.
a-2)Pour anticorrosive into the water.
Check holding water quantity and decide the anticorrosive quantity so that the
propotion of both quantity is appropriate.
a-3)Full up the cooling water in the Chiller.
a-4)Operate the cooling water pump until anticorrosive is evenly mixed.
a-5)Close the isolation valves of inlet and outlet on the cooling water line.

b)Dry lay up
Before draining cooling water from the Chiller, clean the inside of the tube and
make corrosion protective covering.
b-1)Discharge cooling water from its discharge port on the cooling water outlet.
b-2)Remove the scale and/or slime adhesion in the tubes by brush cleaning.
(If scale and/or slime cannot be removed by brush cleaning, perform chemical
cleaning.)
b-3)After sufficient washing, pour anticorrosive into the water, and circulate the
water with anticorrosive for 30 minutes or more.
(The concentration of anticorrosive should be even.)
b-4)Discharge the water from the discharge port on the cooling water inlet.
b-5)Keep the discharge port open during shut down.

(2) Chilled water

Wet lay up usually. (Keep the chilled water full in the Chiller.)

4-3-3. Winter season

In case the ambient temperature of the Chiller in winter is likely to be below 0℃,
freeze prevention is necessary.

Consult Carrier service agent for the details.
