Multiaqua Heat Pump Chiller Manual The Multiaqua Chiller System is the only air conditioning/refrigeration system of its kind in the world today offering the degree of application flexibility described in the following manual. The Multiaqua Chiller System is not only unique in its application flexibility; it is unique in superior quality, rated capacity and rugged durability.
System Description & Sequence of Operation The Multiaqua MACH (Multiaqua Air Conditioning Heat Pump) is self-contained Reverse Cycle Chiller featuring dual condenser fans, direct expansion outdoor coil (air side) and a brazed plate liquid solution heat exchanger (liquid side). The outdoor coil acts as a condenser expelling heat from the refrigeration process in cooling and is an evaporator coil in the reverse cycle heat pump mode.
Page 16
It must be recognized that ferrous pipe may cause accelerated deterioration of the brazed plate heat exchanger and could void the heat exchanger warranty. *Also Included in this manual is a piping section that includes piping system design, installation and balancing. Equipment sizing for a Multiaqua solution system can utilize Load Diversity.
ELECTRICAL AND PHYSICAL DATA The information contained in this manual has been prepared to assist in the proper installation, operation and maintenance of the chiller. Improper installation, or installation not made in accordance with these instructions can result in unsatisfactory operation and/or dangerous conditions and can cause the related warranty not to apply.
Consult local building codes or ordinances for special installation requirements. When selecting a site to locate the chiller, consider the following: • A minimum clearance of 60” on the front fan discharge, 12” on the rear air inlet and a 24” clearance is required on the service side.
Description of Electrical Controls Control Transformer: The control transformer is rated at 24 vac, 40 va (1.6 amps @ 24vac) Pump Bypass Timer: The pump bypass timer is a 24 vac, 3-wire control. When energized the timer will bypass the flow switch for 10 seconds (by creating a circuit to the pump relay), energizing the pump relay, allowing the pump to operate long enough to close the flow switch.
Page 20
Description of Electrical Controls (continued) The low-pressure switch is an automatic reset control Low Pressure Switch: that senses compressor suction line pressure. It opens at 40 PSIG and closes at 80 PSIG. Flow Switch: The flow switch senses liquid solution flow. The paddle of the switch is inserted through a fitting into the pump discharge line.
Page 21
Description of Electrical Controls (continued) Liquid Solution Temperature ControlThe liquid solution temperature control is an adjustable microprocessor based temperature control. This control receives temperature information from a thermistor located on the liquid solution supply line. A liquid crystal display continually indicates liquid solution temperature. The control is mounted inside the chiller cabinet.
Chiller Controls Sequence of Operation *The paragraphs below will outline the common sequence of operation for the MACH then expand into the operation sequence for both the water heating and water chilling modes of operation. Following this information will be a section on system faults and problems solving. The pump will not self-prime.

he chiller/heat pump when operating in the heating mode utilizes the outdoor coil as an evaporator. The evaporator (outdoor coil) in heating must be 20° or more below the outdoor ambient temperature. This means that on a 30° day the coil temperature will be at a 10° or below operating temperature. Operating in this temperature range causes frost to form on the outdoor coil surfaces, which cut down on the heating efficiency and capacity (BTUH).
SYSTEM FAULTS: Flow Switch Opening: The flow switch is normally closed during pump operation. Should liquid solution flow be interrupted for any reason the control will open, shutting down and locking out system operation. The only exception to this is when power is first applied to the unit, and the pump bypass timer bypasses the flow switch for 10 seconds. If flow is less than 3 GPM flow switch will not close.
Description of Refrigerant Components Scroll Compressor: Scroll technology ensures reliable high efficiency. All Multiaqua units feature Scroll performance at a low sound level over a wide range of operating conditions. Caution must be used when near the top of the Scroll compressor. Operating temperatures can be high enough to cause serious Injury.
Description Of Refrigerant Components (Continued) Condenser coil: The air-cooled condenser coil is of copper tube with aluminum fin construction. The coil is protected by a painted metal condenser grille. Piping System Components Supply Storage Tank: The Supply Storage Tank must be used in systems with less than 25 gallons of liquid solution.
Piping System Components (Continued) Motorized Control Valve: The fan coil's motorized valve controls the flow of liquid solution to the system coil. Each fan coil in the system should have a motorize valve. Part Number: MZV524E-T 1/2" 2-Way Zone Valve MZV525E-T 3/4"...
Banked Chiller Configuration 1. Ball Valve 2. Wye Strainer 3. Pressure Indicator 4. Temperature Indicator 5. Chiller 6. Expansion Tank 7. Storage Tank Notes: Installing Multiaqua chillers in parallel is recommended. An adjustable valve must be used to throttle the discharge liquid solution flow rate to appropriate levels based on capacity and glycol mix percentages.
Installation Notes: Piping such as PEX, steel, copper or PVC can be used with the Multiaqua system. Check local building codes for material conformation. Care must be taken when using PVC as the presence of propylene glycol may destroy plastics. Pressure drop data for the selected piping material is readily available and should be used.
Installation Notes: (Continued) Ethylene Glycol is environmentally hazardous and not recommended. Inhibited Propylene Glycol ( typical automotive coolant) is not to be used in a Multiaqua Chiller under any circumstances. Dow Chemical's "Ambitrol" family of Glycol-based coolants of food grade Propylene Glycol is suggested. Information on Ambitrol is available from Dow at www.dow.com, search word "Ambitrol".
Filling System with Liquid Solution and Coolant (Propylene Glycol) Concentrations of Propylene Glycol in excess of 50% will destroy o-rings in fittings and pump. Water shoul be added to the system first or a liquid solution diluted Propylene Glycol mix. Before filling system with Propylene Glycol and water, pressure test the piping system with compressed air.
Liquid Solution Balancing: Liquid solution balancing will require an accurate digital thermometer to measure return line liquid solution temperature at each air handler. Set the chilled liquid solution temperature control in the chiller at a normal operational temperature (44°F) and measure pump discharge temperature with the digital thermometer to check system solution temperature.
