2. Structural Features and Working Principle 2.1 Main Functions SIC-R2 water chiller is mainly made up of four components. They are compressor, condenser, thermostate expansion valve and evaporator. The machine uses single stage vapor compression refrigeration system and takes the advantage of the mechanism of transformation between gas and liquid for absorbing and releasing heat by using of refrigerant to achieve the effectiveness of refrigeration.

Hot-air bypass function: the compressor continues working when process water is cooled down to required temperature, then the hot-air bypass valve opens as the temperature drops to its set value. A part of the refrigerant from the compressor passes through the by-pass valve and then reaches evaporator, balancing out part of the machine refrigerating capacity and then goes back to compressor without passing through the condenser.

opens as the temperature drops to its set value. A part of the refrigerant from compressor passes through by-pass valve and then reaches evaporator, balancing out part of the machine refrigerating capacity and then goes back to compressor without passing through condenser. With the help of hot-air bypass valve, system can stay in balanced condition and meanwhile can keep control accuracy within ±1 .
2.2 Main Parts and Functions 2.2.1 Compressor 1) Compressing and conveying the refrigeration steam and forming low pressure in evaporator and high pressure in condenser, the compressor is the core of the whole system. 2) SIC-R2 adopts scroll compressor. Picture 2-3: Compressor 2.2.2 Condensor A.
Picture 2-5: Condenser 2.2.3 Drying Filter 1) The functions of the dry filter are: clean the impurity in the refrigerant, absorb the free moisture in the refrigerant, and prevent the narrow section (especially the valve port of the heat expansion valve) of the pipe from forming ice jam.
2.2.5 High and Low Pressure Switch 1) The high and low pressure switch are used to control the working pressure of the compressor suction port and outlet port. 2) The high pressure of switch is 40 bar, and the low pressure of switch is 5 bar. 3) Give an alarm when the pressure of the compressor outlet port is higher than 40 bar or the pressure of the compressor suction port is lower than 5 bar.
Through the liquid level indicator, the water level in the tank can be viewd. Please confirm the version number of the manual before you order to ensure the stock number and the parts are consistent. 2.3.2 Liquid Pipe Solenoid Valve Picture 2-10: Liquid Pipe Solenoid Valve 1) Liquid pipe solenoid valve is used to cut the refrigerant supply immediately after the machine stops to prevent the compressor freezing.
2.3.4 Flow Switch Picture 2-12: Flow Switch 1) Flow switch is adopted to detect whether the chilled water flow is sufficient. 2) Flow switch is installed on the water pipe between the evaporator and the water tank. 2.3.5 Medium or high pressure pumps Medium and high pressure pumps are optional to meet any pressure requirements.
3. Installation and Debugging Attention! Read this chapter before installation. Install the machine according to following steps! 3.1 Machine Location 1) Water chiller should be installed in an environment that has good ventilation, such as draughty area near the window. Ambient temperature should not be more than 43℃.
authorized by our company. We shall not be reliable for machine damages caused by unauthorized modification. Attention! Before connecting the machine with power supply, please make sure that main switch is turned off ! 3.3 Water connections A. Water-cooled Series Parts Name :...

6) After the installation is completed, check if there are leakages in the circulation system. Cooling water circulation pipe should be covered with a layer of insulated material to avoid temperature increasing and water drops forming on the surface of circulation pipe. 7) This seires of models mainly use cooling tower’s circulation to cool down the water.
