Inspect carton’s exterior for evidence of rough handling in shipment. Carefully remove protective wrap and all banding to uncrate, for inspection; if damage is found, report immediately to the transportation agency and Cold Shot Chillers. Provide a report and photographs (highly recommended), if possible.
II. INSTALLATION A. MOVEMENT/RIGGING 1. The preferred method for movement of the chiller while on the pallet is with forklift or pallet jack. 2. For rigging, overhead rigging with spreader bars above the unit is preferred. Protect unit from being crushed. CAUTION! All panels must be in place when rigging.
National Electrical Code (NEC), Section 440-14. b) Verify electrical power on the Cold Shot Chillers label plate with actual voltage. c) Connect line power supply to terminal block or as noted in machine; typically, connect power leads to terminals L1, L2 and L3 on compressor contactor.
IMPORTANT!! DO NOT BYPASS OR ADJUST ANY SAFETY DEVICES OR PARAMETERS WITHOUT FIRST CONTACTING COLD SHOT CHILLERS. ANY MODIFICATIONS OF THE CHILLER SYSTEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER’S DESIGN WILL REQUIRE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM COLD SHOT CHILLER’S, OTHERWISE ALL WARRANTIES WILL BECOME VOID.
2. Automatic/Manual refill or change over systems should be cautious and attentive to the specific concentration of mixtures dilution over time. Measure the system’s concentration regularly. 3. Glycol concentrations affect cooling performance. As the temperature reduces, the fluid becomes thicker which may reduce heat transfer capabilities and reduces the circulating pump performance.
III. PRE-STARTUP 1. STARTUP CHECKLIST - Review and use. (Typically located at end of this manual.) 2. COMPRESSOR MOUNTS a) As shipped, the compressor(s) is held down by mounting bolts with vibration rubber grommets. b) Verify bolts are tight to base and that the compressor is able to move on the rubber grommets. (1) Single Compressor units: Verify that the shipping spacers (if installed) are removed from between the compressor bottom (or compressor plate) and the base of the unit.
IV. STARTUP 1. Verify installation is complete and all Pre-Startup steps are completed. 2. STARTUP CHECKLIST - Review and use. (Typically, located at end of this manual) 3. Attach refrigerant gauges to the appropriate service ports. 4. PUMP ONLY: Turn switch to Pump Only (or use local system pump) and operate for at least 15 minutes.
clear sight glass for optimum performance. Returning fluid temperature should not exceed 90°F on standard units or the chiller will cycle off on high head pressure and not run. Should this occur, allow water to cool down and restarting chiller once water is below 90°F. e) If sight glass is bubbly add to charge.
