General Information

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician.
WARNING
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of refrigerant as of July 1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling, or reclaiming must be followed.
CAUTION
Coils and sheet metal surfaces present sharp edges and care must be taken when working with equipment.
Failure to observe the following instructions will result in premature failure of your system and possible voiding of the warranty.
WARNING
WARNING
AAON LL Series chiller outdoor mechanical rooms are complete self­contained liquid chilling units. They are assembled, wired, charged, and run-tested. Models are available for air-cooled and evaporative-cooled applications. Chiller primary and primary/secondary pumping packages and boilers with pumping package are available as optional features.

Codes and Ordinances

LL Series units have been tested and certified, by ETL, in accordance with UL Safety Standard 1995/CSA C22.2 No. 236.
System should be sized in accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers Handbook.
Installation of LL Series units must conform to the ICC standards of the International Mechanical Code, the International Building Code, and local building, plumbing and waste water codes. All appliances must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.

Receiving Unit

When received, the unit should be checked for damage that might have occurred in transit. If damage is found it should be noted
on the carrier’s Freight Bill. A request for inspection by carrier’s agent should be made
in writing at once. Nameplate should be checked to ensure the correct model sizes and voltages have been received to match the job requirements.

Storage

If installation will not occur immediately following delivery, store equipment in a dry protected area away from construction traffic and in the proper orientation as marked on the packaging with all internal packaging in place. Secure all loose-shipped items.
20

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.

Lifting and Handling

If cables or chains are used to hoist the unit they must be the same length and care should be taken to prevent damage to the cabinet. See Figure 6 for additional information.
Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping material has been removed from unit. Secure hooks and cables at all lifting points/ lugs provided on the unit.
Hoist unit to a point directly above the curb or mounting rail. Be sure that the gasket material has been applied to the curb or mounting rail.
Carefully lower and align unit with utility and duct openings. Lower the unit until the 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 rating sheet, along with the designed volumetric flow rate. The maximum operating pressure for AAON LL Series units is 125 psi.
