CF Series Portable Chillers with CF-1 Instrument
1.1 INTRODUCTION
A. This manual covers portable chillers from 5 to 40 tons.
B. When calling for assistance from the Manufacturer's Service
Department, it is important to know the model and serial number of
the particular unit. The model number encodes critical unit
information which is helpful in any attempt to troubleshoot operating
difficulties. The serial number allows the service team to locate
manufacturing and testing records which can have additional
information relating to a particular unit.

EFFICIENCY

A. Long term efficiency of operation is largely determined by proper
maintenance of the mechanical parts of the unit and the water
quality. The Manufacturer recommends filtering where required to
prevent solids from plugging critical parts (pumps, heaters, seals for
example). The Manufacturer highly recommends the services of a
competent water treatment specialist be obtained and his
These units are designed for indoor use only.
For most efficient operation, locate the chiller in a clean, dry
and well ventilated environment.
The unit has an air-cooled refrigerant condenser. For air-
cooled condensers, a motor driven fan (on models from 5 to
15 tons) or a centrifugal blower (on models from 15 to 30
tons) generates air flow through the condenser to remove
heat from the refrigerant system. The air cooled condenser
on the unit will discharge a maximum of 15,000 BTU's per
hour per ton of cooling.
The unit must have a minimum entering air temperature of
60°F and a maximum entering air temperature of 95°F for
efficient operation.
The unit must have a minimum of two feet clearance at the
air intake and six feet at the vertical exhaust air discharge.
The unit must have all enclosure panels in place before
operating compressor. Air will not be drawn through the
condenser coil if they are not in place. This will cause the
compressor to lockout on the high pressure safety fault.
