MicroTech II unit controller. All Daikin centrifugal chillers are factory tested prior to shipment and must be initially started at the job site by a factory trained Daikin service technician. Failure to follow this startup procedure can affect the equipment warranty.
Receiving and Handling The unit should be inspected immediately after receipt for possible damage. All Daikin centrifugal water chillers are shipped FOB factory and all claims for handling and shipping damage are the responsibility of the consignee. Insulation corners from the evaporator's rigging hole locations are shipped loose and should be glued in place after the unit is finally placed.
Figure 2, DWDC Major Component Location Note: 1. Chilled water and condenser connection location can vary. Check markings on unit or consult unit certified drawings for connection locations on specific units. Location and Mounting The unit must be mounted on a level concrete or steel base and must be located to provide service clearance at one end of the unit for possible removal of evaporator tubes and/or condenser tubes.
Note: Units are shipped with refrigerant and oil valves closed to isolate these fluids for shipment. Valves must remain closed until start-up by the Daikin technician. Nameplates There are several identification nameplates on the chiller: •...
Lower temperatures will improve chiller performance. Daikin centrifugal chillers all across the range are equipped with electronic expansion valves (EXV) and will start and run with entering condenser water temperatures as low as shown in Figure 3 or as calculated from the following equation on which the curves are based.

It is also possible to build up a frequency beat due to the slight difference in the operating rpm of the pump motor and the Daikin centrifugal motor. Daikin encourages the use of 1750/1460 rpm (four-pole) pump motors. Vessel Drains at Start-up Unit vessels are drained of water in the factory and are shipped with the drain plugs in the heads removed and stored in the control panel or with open ball valves in the drain hole.

They also serve to shut down the unit in the event that water flow is interrupted to guard against evaporator freeze- up or excessive discharge pressure. Thermal dispersion flow switches are available from Daikin as a factory-mounted option. It is mounted in an evaporator and condenser water nozzle and factory wired.

Figure 6, Flow Switch Mounting Flow direction marked on switch I in. (25mm) NPT flow switch connection If flow switches, by themselves, are being used, electrical connections in the Unit Control Panel must be made from the common T3-S terminal to terminal CF for the condenser switch and T3-S to terminal EF for the evaporator switch. See Figure 14, Field Wiring Diagram on page 34.
Page 18
Cooling Towers The condenser water flow rate must be checked to be sure that it conforms to the system design. Some form of temperature control is also required if an uncontrolled tower can supply water below about 65F (18C). If tower fan control is not adequate, a tower bypass valve is recommended.
The evaporator charge includes the maximum condenser charge available with that evaporator and is therefore the maximum charge for a total unit with the evaporator. Actual charge for a specific selection can vary with tube count and can be obtained from the Daikin Selection Program. The program will not allow a selection where the unit charge exceeds the condenser pumpdown capacity.
150 psi (1034 kPa) on all. Pumpdown To facilitate compressor service, all Daikin centrifugal chillers are designed to permit pumpdown and isolation of the entire refrigerant charge in the unit’s condenser. Dual compressor units and single compressor units equipped with the optional suction shutoff valve can also be pumped down into the evaporator.
Page 23
Field water piping to the inlet and outlet connections must be installed according to good piping practices and include stop valves to isolate the cooler for servicing. A cleanable filter (40 mesh maximum), and drain valve or plug must also be field-installed.
Page 24
Compressors using chilled water for oil cooling will often start with warm "chilled water" in the system until the chilled water loop temperature is pulled down. Data given above includes that condition. As can be seen, with cooling water in the 45F to 65F (7C to 18C) range, considerably less water will be used, and the pressure drop will be greatly reduced.

Relief Valves As a safety precaution and to meet code requirements, each chiller is equipped with pressure relief valves located on the condenser, evaporator, and oil sump vessel for the purpose of relieving excessive refrigerant pressure (caused by equipment malfunction, fire, etc.) to the atmosphere.
Daikin centrifugal units have relief valve settings of 180 psi, 200 psi, and 225 psi, and resultant valve discharge capacities of 68.5 # air/min, 75.5 # air/min, and 84.4 # air/min respectively. Using the ASHRAE formula and basing calculations on the 225 psi design yields a conservative pipe size, which is summarized in Table 9.

It is the installing contractor's responsibility to insulate the compressor motor terminals when the unit voltage is 600 volts or greater. This is to be done after the Daikin start-up technician has checked for proper phase sequence and motor rotation.
Figure 13, Field Wiring for Optional Display Control Power Wiring The control circuit on the Daikin centrifugal packaged chiller is designed for 115-volts. Control power can be supplied from three different sources: If the unit is supplied with a factory-mounted starter or VFD, the control circuit power supply is factory-wired from a transformer located in the starter or VFD.
Page 30
A freestanding starter or VFD furnished by Daikin, or by the customer to Daikin specifications, will have a control transformer in it and requires field wiring to terminals in the compressor terminal box. Power can be supplied from a separate circuit and fused at 20 amps inductive load. The control circuit disconnect switch must be tagged to prevent current interruption.
Page 31
If starters are freestanding, then field wiring between the starter and the control panel is required. Minimum wire size for 115 Vac is 12 GA for a maximum length of 50 feet. If greater than 50 feet, refer to Daikin for recommended wire size minimum.
Page 32
BACnet IM 736-0 The “Full Metering” or “Amps Only Metering” option will require some field wiring when free-standing starters are used. Wiring will depend on chiller and starter type. Consult the local Daikin sales office for information on specific selections.
All that is required is simple field RS485 interconnecting wiring, the addition of accessory communication isolation board(s) 485OPDR (Daikin P/N 330276202), and some MicroTech II control settings. The 485OPDR isolation board can be purchased with the unit or separately, during or after chiller installation. The number of chillers minus one boards are required.

Capacity Control System The opening or closing of the inlet vanes controls the quantity of refrigerant entering the impeller thereby controlling the compressor capacity. The vane movement occurs in response to oil flow from the SA or SB 4-way solenoid valves, which in turn, respond to instructions from the unit microprocessor as it senses leaving chilled water temperature.

070200106, Rev OB NOTES: 1. Approved oil from two suppliers can be mixed, although they have slightly different viscosity. 2. Lubricant from either supplier can be furnished when ordering by Daikin part number. Figure 23, Typical Oil Flow Diagram NOTES: Diagram does not apply to CE 050 compressors, which have self-contained lubrication systems.
When the ambient wet bulb temperature is lower than design, the entering condenser water temperature can be allowed to fall, improving chiller performance. Daikin chillers will start with entering condenser water temperature as low as 55F (42.8C) providing the chilled water temperature is below the condenser water temperature.
The local Daikin service office can recommend suitable facilities for performing these tests. Table 14 gives the upper limits for metals and moisture in the polyolester lubricants required by Daikin chillers. D–EIMWC00808-16HU - 47/64...

If the operator has any reason to suspect that the power system connections have been altered, (phases reversed) the compressor must be jogged to check rotation. For assistance, call the local Daikin service location. Cleaning and Preserving A common cause of service calls and equipment malfunction is dirt.
The use of untreated water can result in corrosion, erosion, sliming, scaling or algae formation. It is recommended that the service of a reliable water treatment company be used. Daikin assumes no responsibility for the results of untreated or improperly treated water.

approximately 20 psig. It is possible that the unit might experience a mild surge condition prior to cutout. If this should occur, immediately shut off the compressor. Use a portable condensing unit to complete the pump down, condense the refrigerant, and pump it into the condenser or pumpout vessel using approved procedures. A pressure regulating valve must always be used on the drum being used to build the system pressure.

Motor Housing Pressure Port Flanged joints disassembly When accessing any flanged connection never loosen and remove individual bolts. Always loosen each bolt slightly and in turn, sequentially, until the flange is clear of the connection. This will retain most of the bolt safety integrity as the flange is removed. If pressure should be present, STOP, retighten the bolts and determine why pressure is present.
Table 1 indicates these parameters. In general Daikin does not recommend changing lubricating oils and filters on a periodic basis. The need to change lubricating oil and filters should be based on a careful consideration of oil analysis, vibration analysis and knowledge of the operating history of the equipment.
Page 56
Lead The source of lead in Daikin centrifugal chillers is the thread sealant compounds used during chiller assembly. The presence of lead in the lubricating oil in Daikin chillers does not indicate bearing wear. Silicon Silicon can originate from residual particles of silicon left from the manufacturing process, filter drier material, dirt or anti-foam additives from residual mineral oil which may be present in machines that have been converted to R-134a.
