(latest version available on www.daikineurope.com), for details on operation of the 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.
Extreme care must be used when rigging the equipment to prevent damage to the control panels or refrigerant piping. See the certified dimension drawings included in the job submittal for the center of gravity of the unit. Consult the local Daikin sales office for assistance if the drawings are not available.

1 1/8" (28.5 mm) mounting holes are provided in the unit support at the four corners. 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. Up to 300 Tons Daikin centrifugal chillers up to 300 tons 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.

As chillers are selected for lower kW per ton, the cooling tower fan motor power becomes a higher percentage of the total peak load chiller power. Daikin’s Energy Analyzer program can optimize the chiller/tower operation for specific buildings in specific locales.
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.

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.
Page 16
CAUTION Freeze Notice: Neither the evaporator nor the condenser is self-draining; both must be blown out to help avoid damage from freezing. The piping should also include thermometers at the inlet and outlet connections and air vents at the high points. The water heads can be interchanged (end for end) so that the water connections can be made at either end of the unit.

Oil Coolers Daikin centrifugal chillers, sizes 063 through 126, have a factory-mounted, water-cooled oil cooler, temperature-controlled water regulating valve and solenoid valve per compressor. Model 050 chillers have refrigerant-cooled oil coolers and require no cooling water connection. DWSC/DHSC single compressor cooling water connections are located near the compressor and are shown on the specific unit certified drawings.

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.

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 14, 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: 1. 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 29
2. 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. 3. 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.

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. Wire size for 24 Vac is 18 GA. All wiring to be installed as NEC Class 1 wiring system. All 24 Vac wiring must be run in separate conduit from 115 Vac wiring.

Setup Interconnecting MicroTech II pLAN RS485 wiring should be installed by the installing contractor prior to start-up. The Daikin start-up technician will check the connections and make the necessary set point settings. 1. With no pLAN connections between chillers, disconnect chiller control power and set the DIP switches as shown in Table 11.

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.

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 55°F (42.8°C) providing the chilled water temperature is below the condenser water temperature.

It is useful to have an oil analysis at initial startup to provide a benchmark from which to compare future tests. The local Daikin service office can recommend suitable facilities for performing these tests.
Page 46
Changing Oil Filters Daikin chillers are at positive pressure at all times and do not leak contaminated moist air into the refrigerant circuit, thereby eliminating the need for annual oil changes. An annual laboratory oil check is recommended to check overall compressor condition.
Page 47
Refrigerant Cycle Maintenance of the refrigerant cycle includes maintaining a log of the operating conditions, and checking that the unit has the proper oil and refrigerant charge. At every inspection, the oil, suction, and discharge pressures should be noted and recorded, as well as condenser and chiller water temperatures.
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.
Repair of System Pressure Relief Valve Replacement Current condenser designs use two relief valves separated by a three-way shutoff valve (one set). This three-way valve allows either relief valve to be shut off, but at no time can both be shut off.
Page 51
Evacuation After it has been determined that there are no refrigerant leaks, the system must be evacuated using a vacuum pump with a capacity that will reduce the vacuum to at least 1000 microns of mercury. A mercury manometer, or an electronic or other type of micron gauge, must be connected at the farthest point from the vacuum pump.
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 53
The source of tin may be from bearings. Zinc There is no zinc used in the bearings on Daikin chillers. The source, if any may be from additives in some mineral oils. Lead The source of lead in Daikin centrifugal chillers is the thread sealant compounds used during chiller assembly.

3 to 4 weeks of normal operation on a new installation, and on a regular basis thereafter. Daikin offers a variety of maintenance services through the local Daikin service office, its worldwide service organization, and can tailor these services to suit the needs of the building owner.
Obligatory routine checks and starting up apparatuses under pressure The units are included in category IV of the classification according to European Directive PED 97/23/EC For chillers belonging to this category, some local regulations require a periodic inspection by an authorized agency. Please check with your local requirements.
