Section 1.0 – Introduction GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Mueller® E-Star OESE condensing units are engineered to maximize the energy efficiency and cooling capacity of your milk cooling system. Custom and specialized components consist of the following: A quiet, energy-efficient Copeland® “ZB” scroll refrigeration compressor, designed for commercial refrigeration service rather than air conditioning, provides improved performance over the entire milk cooling temperature range.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT This manual provides basic installation and operating information for Mueller E-Star OESE condensing units. Please contact your local Paul Mueller Company Sales and Service Representative if you require additional technical assistance pertaining to installation or operating procedures. Manufacturer’s support is available by contacting the following:...
Refrigerant piping should be installed with long-radius bends or fittings. See Tables 2–9 for proper pipe sizing. E-Star OESE condensing units are shipped with a dry nitrogen holding charge. The unit, refrigerant lines, and evaporator circuit will require a triple evacuation to 500 microns prior to refrigerant charging. The system must hold below 1,000 microns in a standing vacuum test, ensuring that it is leak free.

Section 4.0 – Operating Features REFRIGERANT CYCLE Mueller E-Star OESE condensing units utilize a thermal expansion valve (TEV) that controls the evaporator’s superheat. The expansion valve must be field adjusted to maintain the milk cooler’s evaporator’s superheat at 4–6°F (2.2–3.3°C) or the chiller’s superheat at 10–12°F (5.6–6.7°C).

4–6°F or chiller evaporator superheat at 10–12°F. Proper location and sizing of the thermal expansion valve is critical. Refer to Section 5.2 for the superheat adjustment procedure. An externally equalized TEV must be used on Mueller milk cooling applications. A sight glass must be installed at the TEV inlet.

IMPORTANT: The Mueller accumulator heat exchanger utilizes a special “pancake” heat exchange coil. The use of a generic spiral accumulator heat exchanger will severely reduce the cooling capacity of the E-Star OESE condensing unit and may cause premature compressor failure. Use genuine Paul Mueller Company .replacement parts only.

FAN SPEED CONTROL E-Star OESE condensing units use an Electronically Commutated fan Motor (ECM) that is controlled by the ECM fan control board. The ECM fan motor operates at a full range of speeds for different ambient temperatures. The ECM fan control board is preprogrammed to operate the fan at a minimum speed when the high-side pressure rises above 160 psig and maximum speed when the high-side pressure rises above 240 psig.
