Titan Central Chillers
1.1

INTRODUCTION

A. This manual covers Titan central chillers from 20 to 180 tons (70 to 633 kW) of
cooling capacity using the Advantage MG microprocessor control instrument and
fixed displacement scroll compressors and digital scroll compressors. The standard
fluid operating temperature range for this chiller is 20°F to 80°F for units using R410A
refrigerant. Units using other refrigerants have different standard operating ranges. Units
operating below 48°F fluid require the use of a water/propylene glycol to prevent freezing.
Customized units may have different operating ranges. Consult the factory if you have
questions about the operating range of your chiller.
B.
The intent of this manual is to serve as a guide in the installation, operation and
maintenance of your chiller. Improper installation can lead to equipment damage
and poor performance. Failure to follow the installation, operation and maintenance
instructions may result in damage to the unit that is not covered under the limited
warranty. This manual is for standard products. The information contained in this manual
is intended to be general in nature. The information is typical only and may not represent
the actual unit purchased.
C. Chemical refrigerants are used in this unit. The refrigerant is sealed and tested in a
pressurized system however a system failure will release it. Refrigerant gas can cause
toxic fumes if exposed to fire. Install this unit in a well-ventilated area away from open
flames. Failure to follow these instructions and in accordance to all local and national
codes, may result in a hazardous condition. Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure
before opening the system. See nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use non-approved
refrigerants or refrigerant substitutes.
D.
Customers should implement a refrigerant management program to document the type
and quantity of refrigerant in each chiller. All refrigeration service technicians performing
work on this chiller must be licensed and certified.
E.
When calling for assistance from the Manufacturer's Service Department, it is important
to know the model and serial number of the particular unit. The model number includes
critical unit information which is helpful when troubleshooting operating difficulties. The
serial number allows the service team to locate manufacturing and testing records which
can have additional information relating to a particular unit.

SAFETY

A.
It is important to become thoroughly familiar with this manual and the operating
characteristics of the unit.
B.
It is the owner's responsibility to assure proper operator training, installation, operation,
and maintenance of the unit.
C. Observe all warning and safety placards applied to the chiller. Failure to observe all
warnings can result in serious injury or death to the operator and severe mechanical
damage to the unit.
D.
Observe all safety precautions during installation, startup and service of this equipment
due to the presence of high voltage and refrigerant charge. Only qualified personnel
should install, startup and service this equipment.
