bypassed since it provides a signal to the
unit controller that water flow is present in
the heat exchanger and the unit can operate
without the danger of freezing the liquid.
Compressor life will be seriously shortened
by reduced lubrication, and the pumping of
excessive amounts of liquid oil and
refrigerant.

Wiring Diagrams

A complete set of unit specific wiring
diagrams in both ladder and point-to-point
form are laminated in plastic and located
inside the control compartment door.

General Maintenance

When the initial startup is made and on a
periodic schedule during operation, it is
necessary to perform routine service checks
on the performance of the chiller and boiler.
This includes reading and recording suction
pressures and checking for normal sub-
cooling and superheat. See the evaporative-
cooled condenser and air-cooled condenser
sections in this manual for specific details.

Chiller Primary Pumping

Primary pumping uses a single pump to
move water (or glycol) through the chiller
barrel and back to the building. This
pumping package provides a constant flow
of water to the system. The pump is
activated whenever the chiller is given a run
signal.
Water enters the unit through the return water piping, and then travels through an air separator to remove any air that is entrapped in the water. Following this, the water flows through a suction guide with strainer. The end of the suction guide is removable for strainer access. The strainer assembly is composed of two parts, the operational strainer and the startup strainer, (located inside the operational strainer) which is to be removed 24 hours after startup.
The pump is installed after the suction guide, and before a combination valve (Flo­Trex). This combination valve acts as isolation valve, check valve, and flow balancing valve. The evaporator barrel is placed after the combination valve in the water circuit, with a differential pressure switch installed across its inlet and outlet. This pressure switch closes when the differential pressure increases above the setpoint, which should be set 1-2 psig below the pressure drop across the heat exchanger at design flow rate. The closing differential pressure switch signals the control system to indicate flow through the heat exchanger and allow cooling to activate as required to maintain the setpoint. The water exiting the chiller barrel leaves the unit through the water out connection.

Chiller Primary/Secondary Pumping

Primary/secondary pumping option provides variable flow to the system. It consists of a constant flow pump for the chiller heat exchanger and a variable flow pump for the building. The controls package senses differential pressure across the pump with pressure transducers installed at the suction and discharge, and varies the speed of the pump using a VFD in order to maintain a given differential pressure across the pump.
The primary/secondary pumping package is essentially composed of two piping loops
22
coupled together. The primary loop has a
constant flow rate in order to keep the chiller
heat exchanger from freezing, and the
secondary, variable flow loop, provides
water to the building. The two loops are
coupled via a water line that compensates
for excess flow in either loop. As the flow in
the secondary loop decreases below the flow
in the primary loop, excess flow bypasses
the building loop and circulates through the
bypass water line. On the other hand, as the
flow in the secondary loop increases above
the flow in the primary loop, excess flow
bypasses the chiller and circulates through
the bypass water line.
The secondary pump has its own suction
guide, combination valve, and isolation
valve, similar to the primary pump, with the
addition of an air separator to remove any
air that is entrapped in the water.

Boiler System

Optional boilers and pumping packages are
factory installed. The boiler system uses a
primary/secondary pumping package. There
can be 1-4 boilers in parallel and each boiler
has its own primary pump. The heating loop
must be designed to return at least 120°F
water to the boiler during normal operation.
Failure to return 120°F water to the boiler
will create condensation, which will reduce
the life of the heat exchanger and void the
boiler warranty. See unit submittal for unit
specific piping schematics. See the Thermal
Solutions Boiler “Installation, Operating,
and Service Instructions” that are included
with the unit for additional information
about the boiler.
Once the boiler is given a run signal, the
boiler secondary pump will be activated and
the controls package will stage boilers as
necessary to maintain the leaving water
temperature setpoint.
The controls package will also control the speed of the secondary pump in the boiler system to maintain differential pressure across the pump similar to the chiller secondary pump.

Boiler Primary/Secondary Pumping

Water enters the unit through the return water piping, and then travels through a suction guide with strainer. The end of the suction guide is removable for strainer access. The strainer assembly is composed of two parts, the operational strainer, and the startup strainer, (located inside the operational strainer) which is to be removed 24 hours after startup.
The pump is installed after the suction guide, and before a combination valve (Flo­Trex). This combination valve acts as isolation valve, check valve, and flow balancing valve. The boiler is placed after the combination valve in the water circuit.
The primary/secondary pumping package provides variable flow to the system. It consists of a constant flow pump for the boiler, and a variable flow pump for the building. The controls package senses differential pressure across the pump with pressure transducers installed at the suction and discharge, and varies the speed of the pump using a VFD in order to maintain a given differential pressure across the pump.
The primary/secondary pumping package is essentially composed of two piping loops coupled together. The primary loop has a constant flow rate in order to maintain water temperature through the boiler, and the secondary, variable flow loop, provides water to the building. The two loops are coupled via a water line that compensates for excess flow in either loop. As the flow in the secondary loop decreases below the flow in the primary loop, excess flow bypasses
23
the building loop and circulates through the
bypass water line. On the other hand, as the
flow in the secondary loop increases above
the flow in the primary loop, excess flow
bypasses the boiler and circulates through
the bypass water line.
The secondary pump includes suction guide,
combination valve, and isolation valve with
the addition of an air separator to remove
any air that is entrapped in the water.
See appendix for additional information on
the installation, operation and maintenance
of pumps.

Make Up Water

A city make up water connection is provided
to replace water that is lost from the system.
Glycol units require a glycol feeder
(optional factory installed or field installed)
to replace fluid that is lost in the system.
Water should not be directly added to glycol
applications as this would dilute the glycol
concentration and thereby increase the
freezing temperature of the fluid.
The makeup water connection is provided
with a backflow preventer that has isolation
valves on the inlet and outlet for service.
Figure 1 shows the pressure drop versus
flow rate for the backflow preventer.
Figure 1 - Backflow Preventer
There is a pressure-reducing valve after the
backflow preventer. This valve reduces the
city water pressure to maintain the operating pressure of the system. This valve is adjustable from 10-35 psig with a factory setting of 30 psig. The system pressure varies with the height of the system. The pressure-reducing valve setting should be set so that the pressure at the high point in the system is high enough to vent air from the system (usually 4 psig). There should be air vents at all parts in the system where air could be trapped. If the pressure is not high enough throughout the system, flashing could occur in the piping or the pump could cavitate. There is an isolation valve on the inlet and outlet of the pressure-reducing valve for service.
The pressure reducing valve fills the system at a reduced rate. There is a bypass around the pressure reducing valve for the initial fill of the system to increase the initial fill speed. After the initial system fill, this valve should be closed.

Compression/Expansion Tank

As the water temperature in the system increases, the volume that water displaces increases. In order to compensate for these expansion forces, a compression or expansion tank must be used. The factory installed tank option includes a pre­pressurized diaphragm compression tank that is preset for 12 psig.
The factory pre-charge pressure may need to be field adjusted. The tank must be pre­charged to system design fill pressure before placing into operation. Remove the pipe plug covering the valve enclosure. Check and adjust the charge pressure by adding or releasing air.
If the system has been filled, the tank must be isolated from the system and the tank emptied before charging. This ensures that
24
all fluid has exited the diaphragm area and
proper charging will occur.
If the pre-charge adjustment is necessary, oil
and water free compressed air or nitrogen
gas may be used. Check the pre-charge
using an accurate pressure gauge at the
charging valve and adjust as required. Check
air valve for leakage. If evident, replace the
Schrader valve core. Do not depend on the
valve cap to seal the leak. After making sure
the air charge is correct, replace the pipe
plug over the charging valve for protection.
Purge air from system before placing tank
into operation. All models have system
water contained behind the diaphragm.
It is recommended that the pre-charge be
checked annually to ensure proper system
protection and long life for the vessel.

Pressure Relief Valve

Required pressure relief valve is installed in
the unit. This valve is set at 125 psig. Figure
2 shows inlet pressure versus capacity for
this pressure relief valve. See appendix for
additional information.
Figure 2 - Pressure Relief Valve

Automatic Air Vent

There is an automatic air vent installed at the
high point of the system inside the pumping
package compartment. The air vent valve must be in the proper position for operation. Ensure that the small vent cap is loosened two turns from the closed position, allowing air to be vented from the system. It is advisable to leave the cap on to prevent impurities from entering the valve. See appendix for additional information.

Dual Pumps

When redundant pumping is required, factory installed dual pumps or two single pumps can be ordered. A dual pump is a pump with two independent motors and pumps in a single casing. This dual pump has a swing split-flapper valve in the discharge port to prevent liquid recirculation when only one pump is operating. Isolation valves in the casing allow one pump to be isolated and removed for service while the other pump is still operating.
When redundant pumping is required with high flow rates, two independent pumps may be installed in parallel. Each pump will have its own suction guide/strainer, combination valve, and isolation valves.
The controls package will activate the pump when the unit is given a run command. If the controls do not recognize flow in 60 seconds, the second pump will be activated and an alarm signal will be generated. If the second pump does not activate, the cooling will be locked out. See appendix for additional information.

Pressure Gauges and Thermometers

Pressure gauges and thermometers are available as a factory installed option. Thermometers are installed on the inlet and outlet of the unit. One pressure gauge is installed at each pump. This pressure gauge is connected in three places to the water piping before the suction guide/strainer, after the suction guide and before the pump,
25
and after the pump. There is also a needle
valve at each of these points to isolate the
pressure. To measure the pressure at any
given point, open the needle valve at that
point and close the other two needle valves.
One gauge is used so that the calibration of
the pressure gauge is irrelevant in the
calculation of the differential pressure.

Pipe Insulation

The water piping and components on units
with pumping packages are not insulated at
the factory. Insulation should be installed on
the water piping after the system has been
checked for leaks.
