Section 1.0 – Introduction GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Mueller® E-Star® OESE condensing units are engineered to maximize the energy efficiency and cooling capacity of a milk cooling system. Custom and specialized components consist of the following: • A quiet, energy-efficient Copeland® “ZB” scroll refrigeration compressor, designed for commercial refrigeration service rather than air conditioning, provides improved performance over the entire milk cooling temperature range.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT This manual provides basic installation and operating information for Mueller E-Star OESE condensing units. Please contact your local Paul Mueller Company Sales and Service Representative if you require additional technical assistance pertaining to installation or operating procedures. Manufacturer’s support is available by contacting the following:...
IMPORTANT: Equipment used to move or lift this equipment must be rated for the weight of the equipment. See Table 1 for equipment weight. LOCATION When choosing a location for the Mueller E-Star OESE condensing unit, consider these items: • Environment: The unit must be located where it is protected from extreme temperatures of –30°F (–34.4°C) and below or 115°F (46.1°C) and above.

Following local and NEC (National Electrical Code) regulations and procedures, connect a fused disconnect power supply of the proper voltage and phase to the E-Star OESE condensing unit’s electrical enclosure. The control circuit is designed to be operated by a 24-VAC supply. Read the warning statement below.
Section 3.0 – Refrigerant Charging EPA REFRIGERANT REGULATIONS Mueller OESE condensing units are designed to operate with R-507 refrigerant. R-507 refrigerant is specified by ASHRAE Standard 34 Safety Classification as an “A-1” refrigerant with low flame propagation and low toxicity.
When refrigerants come in contact with an open flame or a high heat source, dangerous gases will form. This is characterized by a strong acidic odor. Immediately vacate the area and ventilate prior to reentry. Mueller E-Star OESE 7.5 and 9 HP HFC Condensing Unit Installation and Operation Manual, Part No. 8828748...
Section 4.0 – Operating Features REFRIGERANT CYCLE The E-Star OESE refrigeration system utilizes an expansion valve (TEV) that controls the evaporator superheat. The expansion valve must be field adjusted to maintain the milk cooler evaporator’s superheat at 4–6°F (2.2–3.3°C) or the chiller evaporator’s superheat at 10–12°F (5.6–6.7°C).

This is a custom-designed accumulator heat exchanger. To ensure proper system operation, a genuine Mueller accumulator heat exchanger must be used. Mueller E-Star OESE 7.5 and 9 HP HFC Condensing Unit Installation and Operation Manual, Part No. 8828748 Effective June 16, 2020...
(2.2–3.3°C) or the chiller evaporator’s superheat at 10–12°F (5.6–6.7°C). Proper location and sizing of the thermal expansion valve is critical. Refer to Section 5.2 for the superheat adjustment procedure. An externally equalized TEV must be used on Mueller milk cooling applications. A sight glass must be installed at the TEV inlet.
• Actual suction line temperature equals 40°F. 60 PSIG Results: • 40°F – 34°F = 6°F (4.4°C – 1.1°C = 3.3°C) superheat at evaporator. Mueller E-Star OESE 7.5 and 9 HP HFC Condensing Unit Installation and Operation Manual, Part No. 8828748 Effective June 16, 2020...
IMPORTANT: The custom Mueller accumulator heat exchanger utilizes a special “pancake” heat exchange coil. The use of a generic (spiral) accumulator heat exchanger will severely reduce cooling capacity of the E-Star OESE condensing unit and may cause premature compressor failure. Use genuine Mueller replacement parts only.

The high-pressure switch should be replaced if it does not operate as indicated above. RGE ELECTRONIC FAN PRESSURE CONTROL The Mueller E-Star OESE condensing unit uses an electromagnetic variable speed fan control to allow the fan motor to operate at variable speeds at different ambient temperatures.
The off-cycle switch will operate the fan at full speed if high side pressure rises above 270 psig and operate until pressure falls below 220 psig. Mueller E-Star OESE 7.5 and 9 HP HFC Condensing Unit Installation and Operation Manual, Part No. 8828748...
NOTE: All high-side pressure safety connections will not have a Schrader core. This is due to a safety regulation on the high side of a system. Mueller E-Star OESE 7.5 and 9 HP HFC Condensing Unit Installation and Operation Manual, Part No. 8828748...
10.1 SOUND TESTING EQUIPMENT The manufacturer tested sound levels of the Mueller E-Star OESE condensing unit under normal operating conditions with the compressor and condenser fan motor operating. Measurements were taken with a sound meter, Model 33-2055, on the “A-weighted” scale.

11.2 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The E-Star OESE condensing unit requires minimal maintenance. The following scheduled maintenance procedures are recommended and should be performed by a knowledgeable service technician on an annual basis: Clean the condenser tubes and fins from accumulated dust or other foreign matter to ensure proper air flow.
Section 12.0 – Disposal 12.1 GENERAL If the E-Star OESE condensing unit is removed for resale or disposal, ensure the materials, refrigerant, and oils are handled and/or disposed of according to applicable codes and regulations. 12.2 COMPRESSOR REFRIGERANT OIL The compressor contains a lubricant consisting of polyolester (POE) oil. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
