Flow Switch
All chillers require a chilled water flow switch to check that
there is adequate water flow through the evaporator and to
shut the unit down if necessary to avoid evaporator freeze-up
under low or no flow conditions. A factory-included thermal
dispersion flow switch will be installed on packaged models.
On remote evaporator models, the flow switch may be
separately field-provided, or optionally shipped loose for field
installation. Terminals are provided in the unit control center for
field mounting and wiring of the water flow switch. Wire from
switch terminals Y and R to the unit control panel terminals
shown on the field wiring diagrams,
Mount the flow switch in the leaving water line to shut down
the unit when water flow is interrupted. A flow switch is an
equipment protection control and should never be used to
cycle a unit.
Installation should be per manufacturer's instructions included
with the switch. Flow switches should be calibrated to shut off
the unit when operated below the minimum listed flow rate for
the unit as listed on page 44. Flow switch installation and
calibration is further discussed on
There is also a set of paddle switch contacts on the switch that
can be used for an indicator light or an alarm to indicate when
a "no flow" condition exists. Freeze protect any flow switch that
is installed outdoors. Differential pressure switches are not
recommended for outdoor installation. They can freeze and not
indicate a no-flow conditions.
Glycol Solutions
The use of glycol may impact system performance depending
on its concentration and should be considered during initial
system design. When glycol is added to the chilled water
system for freeze protection, recognize that the refrigerant
suction pressure will be lower, cooling performance less,
and water side pressure drop will be higher. The reduction
in performance depends upon the glycol concentration and
temperature.
Test coolant with a clean, accurate glycol refractometer to
determine the freezing point.
The installed glycol level must align with the rated glycol
percentage indicated on the submitted chiller technical data
sheet. Failure to adhere to the rated glycol percentage may
result in unit damage and loss of unit warranty.
Do not use an automotive-grade antifreeze. Industrial
grade glycols must be used. Automotive antifreeze contains
inhibitors which will cause plating on the copper tubes within
the chiller evaporator. The type and handling of glycol used
must be consistent with local codes.

Installation and Application Information
Low Ambient Operation
Compressor staging is adaptively determined by system load,
ambient air temperature, and other inputs to the MicroTech
control. The standard minimum ambient temperature is 32°F
(0°C). A low ambient option with fan VFD allows operation
down to -10°F (-23°C). The minimum ambient temperature
is based on still conditions where the wind is not greater
than 5 mph. Greater wind velocities will result in reduced
discharge pressure, increasing the minimum operating
ambient temperature. Field installed louvers are available and
recommended to help allow the chiller to operate effectively
down to the ambient temperature for which it was designed.
High Ambient Operation
Trailblazer units for high ambient operation (105°F to 125°F,
™
40°C to 52°C) require the addition of the optional high ambient
package that includes a small fan with a filter in the air intake
to cool the control panel. All units with the optional VFD low
ambient fan control automatically include the high ambient
option. Note that in cases of high ambient temperature,
capacity could be reduced or the lowest leaving water
temperature settings may be outside of the chiller operating
envelope; consult with a Daikin Applied sales representative to
ensure chiller is capable of the required lift.
