Outdoor Mechanical Room
Rotation must be checked on all
MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of
three phase units. All motors, to
include and not be limited to pump
motors and condenser fan motors,
should all be checked by a qualified
service technician at startup and any
wiring alteration should only be made
at the unit power connection.
Scroll compressors are directional
and will be damaged by operation in
the wrong direction. Low pressure
switches on compressors have been
disconnected after factory testing.
Rotation should be checked by a
qualified service technician at startup
using suction and discharge pressure
gauges and any wiring alteration
should only be made at the unit
power connection.
CRANKCASE HEATER
OPERATION
Units may be equipped with
compressor crankcase heaters,
which should be energized at least
24 hours prior to cooling operation, to
clear any liquid refrigerant from the
compressors.
CAUTION
COMPRESSOR CYCLING
5 MINUTE MINIMUM OFF TIME
To prevent motor overheating
compressors must cycle off for a
minimum of 5 minutes.
5 MINUTE MINIMUM ON TIME
To maintain the proper oil level
compressors must cycle on for a
minimum of 5 minutes.
The cycle rate must not exceed 6
starts per hour.
WARNING
Failure to observe the following instructions
will result in premature failure of your
system, and possible voiding of the
warranty.
Never turn off the main power supply to the
unit, except for complete shutdown. When
power is cut off from the unit, any
compressors using crankcase heaters cannot
prevent refrigerant migration. This means
the compressor will cool down, and liquid
refrigerant may accumulate in the
compressor. The compressor is designed to
pump refrigerant gas and damage may occur
when power is restored if liquid enters the
compressor.
Before unit operation, the main power
switch must be turned on for at least 24
hours for units with compressor crankcase
heaters. This will give the crankcase heater
time to clear any liquid accumulation out of
the compressor before it is required to run.
Never cut off the main power supply to the
unit, except for complete shutdown. Always
control the system from the building
management system, or control panel, never
at the main power supply (except for
emergency or for complete shutdown of the
system).
21
Scroll compressors must be on a minimum
of 5 minutes and off for a minimum of 5
minutes. The cycle rate must be no more
than 6 starts per hour.
The chiller is furnished with a pressure
differential switch that is factory installed
between the chilled water supply and return
connections. This sensor must not be
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 subcooling and superheat. See the evaporativecooled 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.

CAUTION
Outdoor Mechanical Room Placement
The AAON LL Series is designed for
outdoor applications and mounting at
ground level or on a rooftop. It must be
placed on a level and solid foundation that
has been prepared to support its weight.
The placement relative to the building air
intakes and other structures must be
carefully selected. Be sure to observe the
dimensions that are on the rating plate of the
chiller for operational and service
clearances.
Table 1 - Service Clearances
Condenser coils and fans must be free of any
obstructions in order to start and operate
properly with a correct amount of airflow.
For proper unit operation, the immediate
area around condenser must remain free of
debris that may be drawn in and obstruct
airflow in the condensing section.
Consideration must be given to obstruction
caused by snow accumulation when placing
the unit.
Curb and Steel Mount Installation
Make openings in the roof decking large
enough to allow for water piping, electrical,
and gas penetrations and workspace only.
Do not make openings larger than necessary.
Set the curb to coincide with the openings.
Make sure curb is level.
Unit specific curb drawing is included with
job submittal. See SMACNA Architectural Sheet Metal Manual for curb installation
details.
Units require rail support along all four sides
of the unit base.
When installed at ground level, a one-piece
concrete slab should be used with footings
that extend below the frost line. Care must
also be taken to protect the coil and fins
from damage due to vandalism or other
causes.
If unit is elevated a field supplied catwalk is
recommended to allow access to unit service
doors.
This unit ships with a curb gasket that is
1¼” wide and 1½” tall. It is recommended
that this or another similar gasket be used
between the curb and the unit to reduce
vibration from the unit to the building.

unit skirt fits around the curb. Make sure the
28
Unit must be rigged at all marked lifting points.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and CPVC
(Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) are
vulnerable to attack by certain
chemicals. Polyolester (POE) oils
used with R-410A and other
refrigerants, even in trace amounts,
in a PVC or CPVC piping system will
result in stress cracking of the piping
and fittings and complete piping
system failure.
CAUTION
The chiller must be operated only
with liquid flowing through the
evaporators.
WARNING
Water Connection
Connect the supply and return water lines.
The connection size is listed on the unit
