Check Chiller Tightness

Figure 14 outlines the proper sequence and procedures for leak
testing.
The 19MV chillers are shipped with a full refrigerant charge.
Units may be ordered with refrigerant shipped separately, along
with 15 psig (103 kPa) nitrogen holding charge in each vessel.
To determine if there are any leaks, the unit should be charged
with refrigerant. Use an electronic leak detector to check all

flanges and solder joints after the chiller is pressurized. If any
leaks are detected, follow the leak test procedure (page 18).
If the chiller is spring isolated, keep all springs blocked in both di-
rections to prevent possible piping stress and damage during the
transfer of refrigerant from vessel to vessel during the leak test
process, or any time refrigerant is being transferred. Adjust the
springs when the refrigerant is in operating condition and the wa-
ter circuits are full.
