Introduction DuraChill Chillers provide cooling power for demanding applications and serve as an economical alternative to tap water cooling systems. All models feature a microprocessor-based controller, digital Temperature Display (°C or °F), one-touch set point display, and digital Pressure/Flow Rate Display (PSI, kPa, GPM, LPM) with push-Button selection.

WARNING: Always operate the unit within the stated temperature and pressure design specifications. WARNING: All warning labels should be carefully observed. Never remove or obstruct a warning label. WARNING: Units which use cooling fluid must be properly filled before use and properly drained before moving or service.

Installation and Startup Site Requirements Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity The Chiller is designed for indoor installation in ambient temperatures between 16° and 35°C (60° and 95°F); relative humidity should not exceed 80% (non-condensing). Location Install the Chiller on a strong, level surface as close to possible to the process requiring cooling. It should not be installed closer than 4 feet (1.4 meters) to a heat-generating source.
External Piping Process Fluid Inlet Reservoir Vent (shown with Vent Assembly for Process Fluid Outlet 5XXX models)) Facility Water Inlet Facility Water Outlet Reservoir Drain General Considerations It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the tubing and fittings connected to the Chiller are compatible with the fluid, temperature, and pressure being used.
Process Fluid Connections The Chiller has two internally threaded fittings on the rear of the instrument housing for the process water connections. Two sets of adapters are supplied with the unit for connecting these fittings to the process piping. The direction of the flow through the system can be controlled by the way the connections are made. Fluid is drawn into the Chiller through the “Inlet”...
Process Coolant Suitable Fluids WARNING: For units that use cooling fluids. Use only fluids that comply with safety, health, and equipment compatibility requirements. Read the safety data sheet for the fluid being used carefully before use. CAUTION: DO NOT USE Caustic, corrosive, or flammable liquids Automotive anti-freeze* Hard tap water*...
Electrical Power WARNING: Do not plug unit into the electrical outlet until it is ready for startup. Always connect the power cord on this unit to a grounded power outlet. Make certain that the outlet is the same voltage and frequency as your unit (see identification label). Never operate the unit with a damaged power cord.
Startup Facility Water Flow (water-cooled units only) 1. Open the valves to the facility water supply and return. 2. Check for leaks. Filling the Reservoir 1. Remove the reservoir cap located on the top of the Chiller and, using a funnel, add fluid until it is approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) below top of reservoir.
Normal Operation NOTE: The Chiller incorporates a special "lockout" feature that can be enabled to prevent unauthorized or accidental set point and other operational changes. This feature is described in detail under "Enabling and Disabling the Local Lockout." It should not be enabled until all operational parameters have been set. Selecting the Temperature Unit (°C or °F) The LEDs adjacent to the Temperature Display indicate the unit (°C or °F) used for Temperature Displays.
Displaying and Adjusting the Ambient Tracking Offset NOTE: Ambient tracking is an optional function that may or may not be available on your Chiller. It permits you to control fluid temperature based on room or machine temperature plus or minus a user-adjustable offset temperature.
Setting Operational Parameters / Limits Various operational parameters are user-adjustable. They are accessed by pressing and holding the Units/Menu Button until HL appears on the Pressure/Flow Rate Display. Pressing and releasing the Units/Menu Button once HL appears allows you to scroll through the various parameters; rotating the Select/Set Knob allows you to change the displayed setting.

Display, Alarm and Error Messages When certain conditions are detected, a message code flashes on the display and the local audio alarm sounds. Depending on the nature of the condition, power to various systems components is removed. When the condition is rectified, push the front panel Power Button or turn the circuit breaker OFF then ON to clear the fault or error.

If a fault should occur, the left display will show Ft, and the right display will show one of the fault codes shown below. Fault Code Description Action Required Alarm — Process fluid temperature is below the low temperature limit value for more than 25 seconds. Compressor, heater, and fan Low limit temperature are turned OFF;...
Adjusting the High Pressure Bypass Setting Chillers with a positive displacement or turbine pump incorporate an automatic safety to maintain outlet pressure below a valve-regulated pressure. This valve is adjustable and is located inside the Chiller housing. WARNING: Service should only be performed by fully qualified personnel. Extreme caution is required as hazards are present when servicing this equipment.
Over-Temperature Protection 6XXX Chillers — The OTP for 6XXX model Chillers is fixed at a cutout temperature of 60°C. The OTP will auto- reset once the fluid temperature drops below the cutout temperature. 5XXX Chillers — The OTP for 5XXX model Chillers with the heater option is adjustable and disconnects power to the heater at a factory-set temperature of 95°C.
Routine Maintenance Routine Maintenance The Chiller is designed to require a minimum of periodic maintenance. Condenser, Air Vents and Reusable Filter The condenser, the air vents, and reusable filter should be kept free of dust and dirt. They should be checked on a regular basis and cleaned as required. The reusable filter is accessed from either the left or right side of the unit.
Temperature Calibration At times, there may be a minor temperature difference between the Chiller’s displayed temperature and the actual temperature as determined by a certified temperature measurement device. There may also be situations where you want the displayed temperature to match a particular value to have standardization between different instruments.
6. Rotate the Select/Set Knob until the desired calibration offset is displayed. Press the Select/Set Knob or simply allow the display to time out to accept the displayed value. Flow Rate Calibration (Fc) NOTE: Your Chiller's flow rate is calibrated at the factory at the nominal flow rate for the installed pump. Further adjustment is not necessary.
Troubleshooting Many problems can be resolved by restoring the factory defaults. If this solves the problem, be careful when restoring your operational settings in order not to repeat the problem. To restore the factory default settings: 1. Place the Power Switch / Circuit Breaker on the rear of the unit in the OFF position. 2.
Problem Possible Causes Corrective Action Fault code 11 on display Internal probe failure Contact service representative. Fault code 12 on display Loose external probe Check and correct as required. connection Faulty external temperature Replace as required. probe NOTE: Chiller may be operated using internal probe until problem is corrected.
