Pre-Startup Water System All startups must be performed by ClimaCool factory trained personnel. Prior to chiller startup, there are certain Confirm that leak testing has been carried out. essential checks which must be completed . Failure to carry Confirm that the system is clean.
Please note all conditions must be complete prior to the startup date. *This form must be completed and submitted to ClimaCool Corp. a minimum of three (3) weeks prior to final scheduling of any Startup. NOTE: If any of the above items are not complete at time of startup, back charges will be assessed for additional costs.
Startup All startups must be performed by ClimaCool factory Nominal differential pressure ranges are from 3 to trained personnel. 10 psid . Review all items are complete from the Pre Startup 10 . Confirm the jumper locations for all master controller Check List .

Compressor Information ClimaCool SHC onDemand use scroll compressors . They glass levels . Oil is pressure-injected either into a gauge are highly efficient and extremely reliable. The information connection on the suction line or injected into the oil contained in this manual will be useful for their care .
. It is necessary to use a micron meter equipped with an absolute pressure gauge (or transducer) to take this reading . ClimaCool recommends the triple evacuation process to ensure proper removal of moisture and contaminants from the refrigeration system .
Options and Accessories Pressure Differential Flow Sensor Field installed to prevent operation of chiller without sufficient water flow to evaporator and condenser. Manual Strainers Field installed strainers are external to the chiller bank to increase efficiency and ensure long life of the modules. A minimum 60 mesh stainless steel screen is required to protect both the condenser and evaporator circuit .
