Foreword

The portable chiller is a packaged unit typically consisting of a refrigeration circuit and a coolant reservoir and
pumping system in a compact packaged cabinet for easy location in industrial applications where chilled water is
required.
The intent of this manual is to serve as a guide for placing your portable chiller in service and operating and
maintaining it properly. Improper installation can lead to poor equipment performance or severe equipment
damage. Failure to follow the installation instructions may result in damage not covered by your warranty. It is
extremely important that a qualified refrigeration installation contractor perform all installation line sizing and
piping. Please supply these instructions to your authorized refrigeration contractor.
This manual is for our standard product line with supplements as required to accommodate any special items
provided for a specific application. The written information contained in this manual, as well as various drawings,
are intended to be general in nature. Unit specific drawings are included with the equipment for troubleshooting
and servicing of the unit. Additional copies of drawings are available upon request. We strive to maintain an
accurate record of all equipment during the course of its useful life.
Due to the ever-changing nature of applicable codes, ordinances, and other local laws pertaining to the use and
operation of this equipment we do not reference them in this manual. There is no substitute for common sense
and good operating practices when placing any mechanical equipment into operation. We encourage all
personnel to familiarize themselves with this manual's contents. Failure to do so may unnecessarily prolong
equipment down time.
The chilling equipment uses chemical refrigerants for heat transfer purposes. This chemical is sealed and tested in
a pressurized system containing ASME coded vessels; however, a system failure will release it. Refrigerant gas can
cause toxic fumes if exposed to fire. Place these units in a well-ventilated area, especially if open flames are
present.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a hazardous condition. The standard refrigerant used in these
units is a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC) trade named R-410A. We strongly recommend a refrigerant management
program be implemented which includes a survey of all equipment to document the type and quantity of
refrigerant in each machine. In addition, we recommend only licensed and certified service technicians work on
our refrigeration circuits. Follow good piping practices and the information in this manual to ensure successful
installation and operation of this equipment. We are not responsible for liabilities created by substandard piping
methods and installation practices external to the chiller.
We trust your equipment will have a long and useful life. If you should have any questions, please contact our
Customer Service Department specifying the serial number and model number of the unit as indicated on the
nameplate.
