1.3. Explanation of terms For the sake of better understanding, we have listed some relevant terms that are used frequently in this document. : Explanation of terms Table 4 Term Explanation Application The source of heat hydraulically connected to the chiller. Process circuit Application and piping to the chiller.
2.1. Compressor The compressor generates the needed pressure difference for evaporation and condensation between heat sink and heat source in the refrigerant circuit. Vaporised refrigerant coming from the evaporator is drawn in and compressed in the compressor to the condensing pressure. The compressors used work on the basis of the scroll principle.
The total oil quantity of the specific unit can be taken from the technical data. A corresponding safety data sheet can be requested from our KKT chillers Service Team (see: Contact details). 2.7. Filter dryer The task of the filter dryer is to absorb any contamination or moisture from the cooling circuit.
Demounting the side panel Figure 2: 2.13. Pump The pump of the chiller provides for the necessary circulation of the cold water. 2.14. Fan The fan draws in the cooling air from the environment via the condenser and discharges the heated air upward from the chiller.

Furthermore, any occurrence of mucilage bacteria in the cooling water must be ruled out. If this is not possible, KKT chillers can suggest or provide a suitable inhibitor on the basis of a biological water analysis to remove the mucilage agents.
The installation of the accessory is the responsibility of the installer of the machine. You can also ask our KKT chillers Service Team to arrange for this installation (see Contact details).
3.2. Insulating cold pipes To prevent condensation on cold chiller pipes, where high temperature differences exist between the surroundings and cold water flow and taking into account the relative humidity the option of insulation of the cold pipes must be specified. 3.3.
Machine base (foot) – Outside view Figure 3: Machine base (foot) - mounting on the baseplate Figure 4: Figure 5: Seismic feets are used for seismic and high wind gust regions 3.8. Filter assembly group coolant circuit (accessories) The water filter protects the cold water circuit against dirt. The set, consisting of a filter, fitting and two shut off valves, is enclosed with the chiller in a separate pack and must be fitted onto the cold water inlet of the chiller from the outside when the chiller is installed.
3.10. Remote control panel (accessories) In the event that the chiller shall be operated not from the machine itself but from a different operating location, the chiller can be delivered with a remote control panel. Thereby the same display that is already installed in the chiller is mounted together with a rail to the operating voltage supply in one miniature housing.
3.13. Earthquake kit (accessories) In the event that your chiller is to be operated in areas of tectonic activity, your device can be supplied with the earthquake kit accessory. Here the chiller is equipped with additional reinforcement bars as well as specially non-adjustable machine bases (feet). Figures 6 and 7 show the assembled earthquake kit - detailed assembly instructions are included with the accessory.
3.14. CIP Chiller interface panel (accessories) The CIP accessory is a transfer station that can be installed in the customer's cold water circuit. The transfer station is made of Üsheet steel and contains a water filter, a flow rate indicator, inlet and outlet valve, pressure and temperature displays as well as a connection to an emergency cooling system.

: Definition of the safety symbols Table 8 Observe the instruction manual! Before opening the machine, disconnect the machine from the power supply. The machine may only be opened 5 minutes after it has been disconnected from the power supply. Beware of dangerous electrical voltage! If the machine is only turned off by means of the main switch, some of the terminals in the control cabinet will still be under dangerous voltage.
Page 27
The following hazard warnings apply in particular to the machine: : Hazard warnings Table 9 ATTENTION! Work on the chiller must be carried out by properly qualified, competent personnel! The surfaces of pipes and components of the refrigerant and cold water circuit and electrical equipment can be very hot during operation and even for a while after.
4.3. Residual energy Even if all the hazard warnings in Chapter 4.2 are taken into account, the following residual energy situations can result in a hazard: ▪ Rotational energy of the decelerating fan o Despite the installed protective grille, hair or pieces of clothing can still be drawn in and caught.
4.4. Safety devices, guards and safeguards 4.4.1. High-pressure limiter The high-pressure limiter (PZH) is a pressure switch with manual reset. The PZH limits the condensing pressure and switches off all compressors via their load contactors when the maximum permitted system operating pressure is reached. It is part of the safety chain. The PZH is installed on the refrigerant collector for the chiller types cBoxX 60 –...
4.4.2. High-pressure monitoring If the high pressure in the refrigeration circuit of your machine increases to a maximum value, the compressors are switched off via the high-pressure limiter (see Chapter 4.4.1 High-pressure limiter). A manual reset is required. The high-pressure monitoring on the other hand reduces the compressor output before the PZH's switch-off value is reached.
4.5. Personal protective equipment for servicing work Servicing work on the machine includes all work for which the machine is opened and one or more cover panels are dismantled. In particular, this includes cleaning work in accordance with Chapter 9 Cleaning and maintenance work in accordance with Chapter 10 Service. Before work is carried out on the chiller the protective equipment described in Table 9: Definition of the safety symbols must be used.
4.6. Airborne sound emissions The airborne sound emissions data is given as the sound pressure level, measured at a distance of five metres without reflection. Its maximum value is shown in the technical data. This only occurs at the highest fan speed at the air intake side of the chiller (Figure 9, measuring point [1]). The emissions in [2] to [4] are generally around 10 % lower than [1].
4.7.2. Vibration The chiller is designed so that the vibrations caused by the compressor are largely isolated by the chiller's frame. To minimise the effect of vibration still further it is possible to install the chiller with optionally available levelling feet (3.20 Levelling feet . These are fitted with damping elastomers. 4.8.
4.9. Dangerous substances 4.9.1. Refrigerant R410A First aid measures: ▪ After inhaling: remove victim to fresh air, ensuring your own safety, and keep the person at rest in a comfortable position. Get medical attention. If the person stops breathing, give artificial respiration ▪...
Personal protective equipment: ▪ Respiratory protection: not necessary if adequate ventilation available. Self-contained or air-line breathing apparatus within enclosed rooms, if insufficient oxygen supply available, in case of substantial or uncontrollable release. Only use breathing apparatus in accordance with the international / national standards. Only use breathing apparatus, no filtering devices.
Measures in case of accidental release: ▪ Environmental protection measures: do not allow the product to get into the sewers or bodies of water. Absorb with sand, soil or a similar absorbent material. Ensure proper disposal in containers. ▪ Cleaning procedure: Clean the contaminated area with water. Caution! Slipping hazard! ▪...
Then contact the KKT chillers Service Team. If you detect a refrigerant or oil leak, proceed as described in Chapter 4.9 Dangerous substances. 5. Handling and storage The chiller is fixed on a wooden pallet in the factory for delivery.
5.2.1. Forklift truck It is possible to transport the machine both in a packed and an unpacked condition by means of fork lift truck. Please note that the centre of gravity may vary depending on the model. C6845-0 center of gravity cBoxX 30 - 60 Figure 5: C6846-0 center of gravity cBoxX 70 –...
5.3. Unpacking ATTENTION! Packing straps are mechanically stressed and can snap back when cut. Risk of injuries! Remove all straps, films, corner protectors and spacers carefully. Optional accessories may be located under the film. Ensure that they are not damaged. The packaging can be recycled according to the local regulations.
6. Installation 6.1. Overview Several tasks are necessary to install the chiller. The following work schedule shows the order in which they are carried out: ▪ Prepare the installation site ▪ Install the machine ▪ Flush the cold water circuit Hydraulic installation ▪...
: Minimum volume of the installation room with regard to maximum refrigerant Table 12 concentration in case of a leakage if installed indoors cBoxX chiller Minimum volume of the installation room (in m³) 6.2.3. Ambient temperature The chiller is cooled by the ambient air and the lower the temperature of this cooling air the more economically the chiller works.
6.2.6. Surface and foundation The surface on which the machine is installed must be flat and horizontal. All the machine's feet must have uniform contact with the ground. Ensure that the ground/subsoil has sufficient load bearing capacity. According to the installation instructions (Appendix III) a continuous concrete foundation with the given minimum size is recommended.
6.2.11. Hydraulic installation The system designer is responsible for choosing the material and the cross-section of the hydraulic connections between the chiller and the application. Other dependent factors include the accepted pressure loss in the connection lines and the available pump pressure. When designing the connections attention must also be paid to the minimum flow rate to be maintained and sufficient resistance to the maximum pump pressure.
6.2.14. Filling Once the hydraulic installation of the overall system has been completed, the chiller can be filled. All shut-off valves in the cold water circuit must be opened. In the standard version the machine does not have a filling connection. To fill the system, provide a filling connection in the process circuit.
6.2.16. Electrical installation ATTENTION! The electrical installation, testing and commissioning may only be carried out by qualified personnel. Note and follow the local regulations. ATTENTION! Do not switch on the chiller until the hydraulic installation is completed and the machine has been filled as specified in Chapter 6.2.15. Otherwise the machine could be damaged.
Once the electrical installation has been completed the phase sequence must be tested. This is done by checking the rotational direction of the pump. This has a rotational direction arrow on it. If the rotational direction does not match the arrow, the phase sequence can be corrected by swapping two phases at the main supply.
8. Operation The chiller is designed for fully automatic operation. 8.1. Switching on First, switch on the machine at the main switch (component 5 in Illustration 19: C6842 Display and operating modes). A start screen appears on the display. 8.2. Selecting the operating mode In the Start screen you can choose between the following three operating modes: ▪...
8.4. Control The chiller's control consists of a control board and a control panel, which communicate with each other via a BUS connection. The control board operates autonomously so that if the control panel or communication fails, operation continues to be possible if no other fault prevents operation. The program, target / setpoint values, parameters and times are stored in an Eprom in the control and are therefore retained even in the event of a power failure.

In the Status menu the states of the digital inputs and outputs and several internal control states can be called up. Status menu Figure 11: The alarms are listed in the alarm menu. A detailed description is given in Chapter 8.5.5 Alarm menu.
The analogue inputs show the signal upstream of the analogue digital converter. The value must be between 0 and 4095. 0 means that no sensor is connected. 4095 means that the input is short-circuited. Analogue inputs Figure 15: The analogue outputs show the signal upstream of the digital-analogue converter. The value 10000 corresponds to an output voltage of 10 volts.
8.5.5. Alarm menu The alarm is acknowledged if the "OK" button is pressed for longer than eight seconds. (after five seconds the display switches back to the main menu) Alarm messages can have three states: • active: The alarm is still active. (e.g. DI MSS …) The motor protection switch has triggered. •...
8.7. Controller description 8.7.1. Switching the chiller on/off The following conditions must be fulfilled for the chiller Standby state: • The control has finished its initialisation routine • Release of at least one primary pump, • Release of at least one condenser fan, •...
8.7.2. Cold water feed temperature control In the normal case the sensor in the tank (system with tank, with pump) is used to control the cold water feed temperature. If this sensor fails, the control switches internally to the sensor in the cold water return and the setpoint value is increased by a defined value.
8.7.3. Compressor control The control is defined for a refrigeration circuit with a maximum of four compressors. The number of compressors is selected by means of coding resistance. The number of compressors is determined once when the control is restarted (switching on of the operating voltage) and is compared with the number of the last restart.
