Installation and Application Information If the chiller is not allowed to control the pump, the following problems may occur: CAUTION 1. If the chiller attempts to start without first starting the pump, The installed glycol level must match the nominal glycol the chiller will lock out with the no flow alarm and require a percentage indicated on the submitted chiller technical data manual restart.
Refrigerant Charge EMPTYING PROCEDURE WARNING Any system that has been exposed to the atmosphere must be The pump oil should be changed periodically to ensure properly dehydrated. This is achieved with a proper vacuum vacuum efficiency. procedure. To achieve a proper vacuum, a VACUUM PUMP (not a compressor) and a VACUOMETER are required.
Electrical Data USE WITH ON-SITE GENERATORS ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CLIM units can be ordered with standard multi-point power Switching from site mains to generator power and vice versa connections or with optional single-point connections and various requires the chiller to be off or the power to be disconnected for disconnect and circuit breaker options.

Unit Funtions Condenser approach The calculations in this section are used in unit-level control logic or all-circuit control logic. The capacitor approximation will be calculated for each circuit. EVAPORATOR DELTA T The equation is as follows Capacitor approximation = Capacitor saturated temperature- The Delta T of the evaporator water is calculated as the OAT.
Circuit Functions COMPRESSOR CONTROL Figure 35. Circuit states. Compressors should operate only when the circuit is in the operating or pumping state. They should not operate when the circuit is in any other state. Compressor start-up A compressor must start if it receives a start command from the unit capacity control logic.
