If the unit needs to be restarted after long-term shutdown, the water system pipeline needs to be cleaned. Caution TICA shall not be responsible for any damage to the unit caused by the use of untreated or improperly treated water, seawater or saline water.

Check valve must be installed at the water inlet and outlet for the Pipe installation convenience of regular maintenance of water system. It is suggested that thermometer and pressure gauge should be installed at the heat exchanger inlet and outlet for the convenience of regular check and maintenance;...

The configuration quality of intermediate pipeline has a significant influence on the safety and efficiency of the refrigeration system. TICA's suggestions are as follows: There should be no liquid trap in the air discharge pipeline from the compressor to the external condenser, and the horizontal pipeline should slope towards the external condenser at a slope gradient of 2%.
Page 12
Figure 4 Figure 5 If a compressor is connected with multiple external condensers, or the refrigerant circuits (≥ 2) of a single external condenser are connected in parallel, the liquid outlet pipes of external condensers generally aggregate into one main pipe and enter the cylinder.
Page 13
In this case, a balance pipe interface must be reserved for the main inlet pipe. For the interface size, consult TICA sales engineers. The liquid supply pipeline is provided with a 100-mesh filter, which is installed before the inlet pipeline of the high-pressure receiver.
Page 14
The connecting pipe of the external safety valve should meet the following requirements: The inner diameter of the discharge pipe should be no less than the diameter of the safety valve. The discharge pipe should be equipped with waterproof bend. The discharge pipe should be led out of the equipment room and away from the air inlet in the equipment room.
Page 15
each branch circuit can meet the rated water flow requirement. There should be some union joints, flanged joints and access shut-off valves in the pipeline for future maintenance. For all the high points where air may accumulate in the water pipeline, the automatic or manual air discharge valve should be installed.

water in the whole system. 9. Pipes and connectors should be supported independently so as not to exert pressure on the unit. It is suggested to install elastic connectors to reduce shocks to the pipelines. 10. Foreign matters in the water system would result in the fouling of the heat exchanger. Therefore, the filter of at least 60-mesh should be installed in front of the pump.

heat exchanger. The two pressure measurement openings need to be connected by rubber tubes, which should be placed away from positions prone to damages. For the installation diagram, refer to Figure 7. If the chiller is installed outdoors, the differential pressure switch should be installed slightly above the water inlet of the heat exchanger for the heat exchanger (cooling-only unit), so that the water on the differential pressure switch side can be drained.
Page 18
3. Choose a rubber tube with an appropriate length and a diameter of 6 mm, and cover the 1/4" nuts on both ends of the tube. 4. Screw the tube with sockets and nuts into the "-" end of the water differential flow switch, and screw the other end of the tube into the pressure measurement opening of the water outlet pipe in the same way;...
Page 19
check whether the "+" end and the "-" end of the differential flow switch are connected correctly and the air in the pipes is exhausted. 3. When multiple chillers are connected in parallel, it is necessary to ensure that there are no shut-off devices such as a valve between the pressure measurement opening of the differential pressure switch and the water inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger.

9. Energy saving tank: used to adjust energy to reduce the load changes of the air-conditioning system when the compressor opens and stops frequently, so as to improve the system efficiency and extend the service life of the unit. The capacity can be calculated based on the following formula: The capacity can be calculated based on the following formula: The volume V (m...

During pressure test, the check valve between the user's waterway system and the unit's evaporator and condenser must be closed to isolate the waterway from the evaporator and condenser. Otherwise, the water chamber of the vessel may be damaged by high pressure. Water pressure test should not be carried out at temperature of below 5°C, and if the pressure test with a pressure gauge is qualified, the accuracy is not less than level 1.5, and the full scale value is 1.5 to 2 times the maximum measured pressure.

operation of the unit. Make sure that all wires and fuses have the appropriate specifications to match the unit's operation and complete all chain control lines according to the relevant electronic control drawings. Make sure that all air-conditioning ancillary equipment and control devices are operating properly and that the first running of the unit owns enough cooling capacity to meet the unit operating requirements.

between 12°C and 25°C. 1.9.4 Water system In some areas, due to hard water will make the condenser scaling, result in condensate pressure too high or the heat transfer effect of the evaporator poor, and lead to shutdown due to failures or the unit operates uneconomically, water quality inspection has to be carried out before the air conditioner goes into the vessel.
Page 27
1.9.4.2 Cleaning of condenser and flow unit Check and clean the condensation tube after the first quarter of unit operation. The water loop system of the condenser is usually an open system (open to the air at the cooling tower) so that the condensation tubes are more susceptible to scaling.
