    Foreword Safety Guidelines The portable chiller is a packaged unit that typically Observe all safety precautions during installation, includes a refrigeration circuit, coolant reservoir, and start-up, and service of this equipment. The pumping system in a cabinet. The purpose is to following is a list of symbols used in this manual and provide cooling water or coolant.
  • Page 6: Pre-Installation

    Only qualified personnel should install, start-up, and Pre-Installation service this equipment. When working on this equipment, observe precautions in this manual as Receiving Inspection well as tags, stickers, and labels on the equipment. When the unit arrives, verify the information on the unit nameplate agrees with the order WARNING: Any use or misuse of this equipment acknowledgement and shipping papers.

    Rigging Chillers with an integral water-cooled or air-cooled condenser ship with a full refrigerant charge. Chillers The chiller has a frame to facilitate easy movement designed for use with a remote air-cooled condenser and positioning with a crane or forklift. Follow and the remote condensers themselves ship with a proper rigging methods to prevent damage to nitrogen holding charge.
