that the chiller arrives at the job site fully tested and
prepared for operation.
Indeed, the chiller is designed, manufactured, and
tested in a facility with a quality assurance system
certified ISO 9001, ensuring a commitment to high
standards throughout the entire process.

Environmental Care
30XD chillers prioritize environmental care through
their design and features. Utilizing the environmentally
friendly R134a refrigerant from the HFC group, these
chillers boast a leak-tight refrigerant circuit, reducing
leaks by eliminating on-site refrigerant connections.
The verification of pressure transducers and temperature
sensors is accomplished without transferring refrigerant
charge. Maintenance is simplified with the inclusion of a
discharge shut-off valve and liquid line service valve.
Notably, these chillers are designed to lower environmental
impact by employing a F-Gas generation, low global
warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, coupled with high-
efficiency operation. The use of R134a ensures zero ozone
depletion potential (ODP), and the overall design
minimizes the quantity of refrigerant employed,
addressing both direct and indirect environmental impacts
on the environment.

several issues arise. These include a significant fluid
pressure drop, increased pumping power requirements,
and the potential for tube erosion or corrosion damage.
On the other hand, excessively low fluid flow rates and
corresponding low velocities should also be avoided.
These conditions lead to poor heat transfer efficiency,
higher compressor power consumption, sediment
accumulation, and tube fouling.

Controls
Microprocessor
The PLC microprocessor controls overall unit operation
and controls a number of processes simultaneously.
These processes 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.
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 PLC microprocessor controls the capacity
of the chiller by varying the number of compressors on
and each loading capacity to satisfy actual dynamic load
conditions. The control maintains leaving-fluid
temperature set point shown on the display device
through intelligent positioning of the slide valve and
compressor cycling. Accuracy depends on loop volume,
loop flow rate, load, and outdoor-air temperature. No
adjustment for cooling range or cooler flow rate is
required, because the control automatically
compensates for cooling range by measuring both
re t u r n - f l u i d t e m p e ra t u re a n d l e av i n g - f l u i d
temperature. This is referred to as leaving-fluid
temperature control with return-fluid temperature
compensation.
Sensors
Thermistors are used to control temperature-sensing
inputs to the microprocessor. No additional thermistor
sensors are required for optional leaving chilled water
temperature, return water, or outdoor air reset.

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 pull down feature limits
compressor loading on startup to reduce demand on
start-up and unnecessary compressor usage.
Capacity control
On the first call for cooling, the microprocessor starts
initial compressor and fan stage on lead circuit.
As additional cooling is required, the capacity of the
compressor is increased by changing the position of the
slide valve. As the load increases above the compressor's
capacity, another compressor is started and both are
staged together.
