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. 2.3.3 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(42)
2.4 Main Electrical Components 2.4.1 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.
