Testing of chillers

Chillers supplied by Johnson Controls Denmark have been function and performance tested, as
far as possible.
A performance test consists of simultaneous measurements of cooling capacity, power consump-
tion and condenser capacity.
It is not a simple task to measure performance. High quality measuring and logger equipment is
required to make reliable and accurate measurements. Contact a Johnson Controls representa-
tive if a performance test is needed.
Solution
Reduce charge.
Check secondary system.
Adjust settings for load/unload compressor capacity
in Unisab III.
Reduce water flow or temperature to compressor
cooling. See compressor manual for more
information.
