2. Structural Features and Working Principle 2.1 Main Functions SIC-W air-cooled water chillers include consists of four main components, which are compressor, condenser, thermostatic expansion valve, and evaporator. The system adopts single-stage vapour compressed refrigeration system, which uses refrigerant gas-liquid conversion to absorb and release heat, thus achieving the cooling effect.

refrigerant from the condenser through the drying filter 4 that flows to the liquid pipe solenoid valve 5 and refrigerant indicator 6 after drying and impurity filtering, and finally reaches the expansion valve 7. In the F-G process, the temperature of high pressure liquid refrigerant decreases after thermal expansion valve throttling and depressurizing.
2.2 Main Components and Functions 2.2.1 Compressor 1) It compresses and conveys the refrigerant vapor that results in low and middle of the evaporator, and middle and high pressure of the refrigerantor, which is the core part of whole system. 2) Our company produces scroll and piston compressors.
2) The filter size is usually selected according to the refrigerant pipe diameter. 3) It is mounted in front of the thermal expansion valve to protect the valve’s tightness Picture 2-4:Drying Filter 2.2.4 Thermal Expansion Valve 1) The thermostatic expansion valve can throttle and depressurize the refrigerant and regulate the refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
Picture 2-6:Evaporator 2.2.6 High and Low Pressure Controller 1) The high and low pressure controller is used to control the working pressure at the compressor air inlet and outlet. 2) The high-pressure controller is set to 25bar, and the low-pressure controller is set to 2bar.
Picture 2-9:Liquid Pipe Solenoid Valve Cut off the refrigerant supply circuit immediately after shutdown to prevent the evaporator from freezing. 2.2.9 Hot-gas Bypass Valve Picture 2-10:Hot-gas By-pass Valve It is used for bypass refrigerant gas at low temperature to avoid compressor frequent start-up for accurate temperature control.

Picture 2-12:Liquid Level Indicator With the liquid level indicator, it can check whether the water level in the tank is in normal range. 21(45)
2.3 Main Electrical Components 2.3.1 Thermal Overload Relay When delivers the machine, the thermal relay is set to the manual reset mode. So when the system indicates motor overload fault, please troubleshoot first. Then, it must open the door of the control box, and press the reset button of the thermal relay (If it can't be pressed, please wait about 1 min.
3. Installation and Debugging Attention! Please read through this chapter carefully before installation, and install according to the following order! 3.1 Installation Notices 1) Make sure that the voltage and frequency corresponds with the requirements on manufacturer's name plate. 2) Connection cable and ground wire must abide by local rules and regulations.

11) When the water source quality is poor, and the embient environment of the cooling tower is harsh, the cooling water and chilled water loop must be equipped with the filters and cleaned regularly. 12) The circulating circuit of chilled water shall be covered with insulation layer to avoid the loss of cooling capacity and pipeline dripping.
3.3 Power Connection The SIC-W series must be connected with the power of 3Φ 400V 50Hz and earth wire. Attention! Before power connection, please make sure that the main power switch is turned off! 26(45)

Check whether the motor is stuck or the bearing is damaged. If the motor is OK, check whether the setting current of the thermal overload relay in the electric control box is too small. After the above faults are eliminated, wait When the pump current is too high, the for about 1 minute and reset the light will be on, and the buzzer will give...
4.2 Machine Startup 1) Turn “on” the main switch. Picture 4-2:Stepup Step 1 2) Turn on the switch to start up the pump When the machine pump is middle or high pressure, in order to prevent excessive flow resulting in large pump flow, the pressure at the water pump outlet shall not exceed the pressure range in the following Table.
Attention! Pump rotating direction must be correct. Attention! Before startup, make sure to turn on the cooling water pump. Check the water tank of the water chiller, and don’t start the machine when there’s no water left in the water tank. Otherwise, the company will not be responsible for the machine damage.

6.2 Components Maintenance 6.2.1 Condenser The SIC-W-R2 series of water chiller adopts tube-in-shell condenser, which will have water scaleon the heat transfer tubes after long-term use or there will be sundries blocked due to poor water treatment. The condenser must be cleaned regularly, so that the machine can maintain its good working performance.
6.2.2 Evaporator The SIC-W series of water chiller adopts tube-in-shell evaporator, and its inner side of the heat emission pipe will pile up a great deal of water scaleafter long time use, which will influence the heat emission effect, so it is necessary to clean the evaporator at fixed periods in order to keep its working performance.
